O'Dell's story of The Moonlight Murders inspired the horror movie "The Town That Dreaded Sundown". (This episode originally dropped on Mach 17, 2021)***On today's episode, O'Dell kicks things off with another true story that inspired an urban legend which has also inspired themes in several horror movies. Today's story is that of The Moonlight Murders which took place in Texarkana in 1946. This was the source material for the 1976 movie "The Town that Dreaded Sundown", as well as the inspiration behind the urban legend of the madman with a hook who stalked teens who would "park" along dark country roads. Erin continues the episode with the alleged suicide (but probably not) of Rebecca Zahau who was found hanging from the balcony of her millionaire boyfriend's mansion. Did she really kill herself?

All of us have heard the urban legend of the hook man. You know, the one that always starts out with some couple seeking out a dark,secluded spot where they can disregard their virtue.Then the duwop soundtrack of lovers lane is interrupted by radio static and a frantic announcer proclaiming an escaped mental patient with an appetite for murder and a hook for a hand is loose in the area.There are a few variations on what happens next, but usually the couple makes it home to find a bloody hook stuck in one of the car doors.This classic urban legend has been passed down for decades, but it had to start somewhere, right? --Music in this episode: "The Haunting Of Lake" originally composed and produced by "Vivek Abhishek" https://youtu.be/32B0WU0Y7fsandForgotten by REPULSIVE--Thanks for listening and be sure to let me know what you think HERELooking for more episodes?

What are the terrifying white animals or entities people are seeing in Pennsylvania – and could it be more than one kind of creature? (Mystery Monsters From P.A.) *** A couple moves to an old mining town with a dark past… and the darkness apparently hasn’t gone away yet. (The Old Mining Town) *** Is it any surprise that something strange might happen in a pub that used to be a church? One of our Weirdo family members tells her story. (Bandit) *** One of the best worst poets of all time has taken inspiration from a certain mountain in North Carolina – but even when there for the solitude, he wasn’t alone. (The Phantom Hiker of Grandfather Mountain) *** In 1946, a sadistic killer dressed in a white mask terrorized a small town at night.
