TVC 692.4: A return visit by Dean Butler, the actor known around the world to three generations to television viewers as Almanzo Wilder, Laura Ingalls' husband on Little House on the Prairie. Among other topics this segment, Dean and Ed discuss the forthcoming Netflix reimaging of Little House; Dean's early experiences working as an extra (then, later, as an actor) on The Streets of San Francisco, including sharing screen time with Michael Douglas in the famous Streets episode “The Thrill Killers,” featuring Patty Duke and Susan Dey; and the difference between having a craft for acting and having a facility for it. Dean's memoir, Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond, is available wherever books are sold through Kensington Books, an imprint of Citadel Press. Dean Butler and other cast members from Little House on the Prairie are scheduled to appear at the Little House cast reunion at Columbia State Historic Park in Tuolumne County, California on June 6-7-8, 2025.

The night of April 19, 1997, was like any other Saturday at Tony's Pizza in Hardyston, New Jersey. The dinner rush had come and gone, and as the clock neared 10:45 p.m., Jeremy Giordano,  22, and Giorgio Gallara,  25, prepared to call it a night. But first, there was one last order to deliver—two pizzas bound for 196 Scott Road. A routine run. A simple transaction. They had no idea they were driving straight into an ambush. As Giordano pulled up to the curb, a car sat waiting in the darkness. Gallara, the restaurant's owner, rolled down the passenger-side window and called out, “Sixteen-fifty,” expecting a quick cash exchange. But instead of a wallet, one of the waiting men reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol. The first shot shattered the quiet night. Then another. And another. The gunman emptied the chamber. His accomplice, unwilling to be a spectator, drew his weapon and joined in. Shots ripped through metal and glass, through the inside of the vehicle. The car lurched forward, rolling off the road before finally coming to a stop, its frame riddled with bullet holes. But the horror wasn't over.Join Jen and Cam on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled “Thrill Killers: The Murders of Jeremy Giordano and Giorgio Gallara.”Listener discretion by @octoberpodVHSMusic and EP by @theinkypawprintSources:https://www.njherald.com/story/news/crime/2017/04/19/1997-thrill-killings-2-pizza/4127116007/https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrNP7BkJLZnNZ0g9w0PxQt.;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzEEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1740018917/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.njherald.com%2fstory%2fnews%2f2015%2f04%2f19%2fslain-son-s-memory-still%2f4043273007%2f/RK=2/RS=z03AcPdo0uYot7mkSYhG4z7H0eM-https://www.nytimes.com/1997/04/22/nyregion/2-held-in-thrill-killings-of-pizza-men.htmlhttps://www.njherald.com/story/news/crime/2019/08/09/convicted-killer-pizza-deliverymen-can/4321608007/https://law.justia.com/cases/new-jersey/supreme-court/2001/a-22-99-opn.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1999/12/25/nyregion/mother-apologizes-to-families-of-deliverymen-slain-by-her-son.htmlhttps://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-feb-26-mn-2826-story.htmlhttps://www.nj.com/news/2010/07/former_sussex_county_man_convi_1.htmlhttps://law.justia.com/cases/new-jersey/appellate-division-unpublished/2010/a1697-07-opn.htmlhttps://horrorobsessive.com/2022/05/13/the-pizza-murders-the-story-of-a-random-double-murder-that-shocked-a-small-town/https://www.alamy.com/file-jason-vreeland-17-from-vernon-township-nj-is-seen-in-this-high-school-yearbook-photograph-vreeland-and-thomas-j-koskovich-18-from-franklin-were-charged-with-the-murders-of-two-pizza-delivery-men-saturday-night-in-franklin-ap-photodaniel-hulshizer-image543056317.htmlhttps://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/chilling-case-baby-faced-pizza-31912103

Í maí árið 2002 skelltu þau Martha Cruchley og Joshua Ford sér til Ocean Beach í Maryland í smá frí. Þeim vantaði smá pásu frá skrifstofu störfunum sínum og sáu það í hillingum að komast aðeins í burtu og gera eitthvað allt annað en þau gerðu vanalega. Laugardagskvöldið 25 maí árið 2002 skella þau sér á skemmtistaðinn Seacrets, þar sem þau eyða kvöldinu með ungu hjónunum Erika og Benjamin Sifrit. Þau þáðu svo boð um að koma með þeim heim í heita pottinn. Boð sem átti eftir að verða þeirra síðasta, en ekki hafði þeim grunað að þau þau hefðu þarna komist í kynni við fólks, sem lifði eftir bíómyndinni "Natural Born Killers" og var til í að gera hvað sem er fyrir aukna spennu í lífið.

Films discussed: Satan's Sadists (1969), Brain of Blood (1970), Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971) From the mid-60's until the late 70's director Al Adamson and producer Sam Sherman made some of the most memorable low-budget horror and exploitation pictures to slide across American drive-in and grindhouse screens.  Together they made films that not only exemplified genre, they also often transcend and blended genres, creating something that has stuck in the filmgoing collective consciousness for over half a century.  And when Severin Films released The Al Adamson Masterpiece Collection boxed set in 2020, whole new generations were introduced to Al and Sam's work, and those of us who were already familiar learned a thing or two (or twenty) and got to see them look better than they have since they sat on a double bill in a 70s sleaze palace.   All hail Al and Sam!  Movies mention in this episode: Black Shampoo (1976), Blood and Flesh: The Real Life and Ghastly Death of Al Adamson (2019), Blood of Ghastly Horror (1967), Brain of Blood (1971), Brides of Blood (1968), The Crawling Hand (1963), The Day Mars Invaded Earth (1962), Dracula vs Frankenstein (1971), Easy Rider (1969), Five Bloody Graves (1969), Frankenstein's Bloody Terror (1968), Hell's Bloody Devils (1970), Kingdom of the Spiders (1977), Laserblast (1978), The Mighty Gorga (1969), The Mummy and the Curse of the Jackals (1969), Mutant (1984), The Navy vs The Night Monster (1966), Night of the Blood Monster (1970), The Phantom of the Hollywood (1974), The Sadists (1963), Satan's Cheerleaders (1977), Satan's Sadist (1969), Shock (1946), Star Wars (1977), The Thrill Killers (1964), Trick or Treats (1982), The Wasp Woman (1959), The Witchmaker (1969), Without Warning (1980), The Wolf Man (1941)

On this episode of They Walk Among America… Nestled between the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the tranquil Isle of Wight Bay lies Ocean City in Maryland. It's a lively resort town that bustles with activity, particularly over Memorial Day weekend. Crowds of eager party-goers from across the nation flock to this coastal haven, drawn by the lure of white-sand beaches and the nightlife. Martha Crutchley and Joshua Ford were among the swarm of revellers who descended upon Ocean City over Memorial Day weekend 2002. While there, the couple struck up a friendship with another vacationing couple after they agreed to cover their bus fare.

This week, we turn to one of the most frightening types of killers around: those with seemingly no motive at all, perpetrators of the notorious “thrill kill.” As we prefer to get our thrills in much different, less violent ways, it's really disturbing to know that this is what excites some people. Featuring a terrifying gang of murderous children, the shocking murder of a young cheerleader, and a pair of unsettling roommates bonded by their disturbing interests. Join us as we shudder at these tales of random murders that make us all feel like we are never truly safe from the scary people in our midst!Cases Covered:1. Tristyn Bailey and Aiden Fucci 2.

Sometimes, Twisted Listeners, thrills can be fun. Going on roller coasters, seeing scary movies, even something as wild as sky diving - these things can all be fun ways to scare and excite yourself. One way to definitely NOT get excited is through thrill kililngs, which is our topic of discussion for this week. The horrible jerks on this list killed their victims in awful, terrible ways, and for what? Just for fun - just for the thrill of it. We have literal children murdering innocent women, more tales from Australia, and so much more in this completely horrific and totally angering topic. So tune in and rage with us at the sheer idiocy and evil that takes place in these tales. And the worst part? These are so random, there's no way anybody can be sure they'll stay off this list. That thought itself is quite unsettling!Cases Covered:1. Janine Balding2.

Recorded on Saturday January 14th, Sunday January 15th and Sunday February 5th, 2023. Welcome to 2023, fans! That Horror SHow Podcast begins this brand new year with yet another retrospective, this time on a particular filmmaker who dabbled with the horror genre in his own unique ways: Ray Dennis Steckler! Regulated to near obscurity due to being a filmmaker that hinged outside of the "mainstream", Steckler's work is still ripe for rediscovery and re-evaluation, so your lovely hosts Timothy Kazda and Chris Koenig have decided to take the plunge into his works. First up is the film that most cult movie fans know of just by its title alone: "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies !!?" (1963), a movie that has gone down in history thanks to (or no thanks to) the Golden Turkey Awards as 'The Worst Film Ever Made', a claim that the hosts are willing to challenge. Second up is what some Steckler fans consider his minimalist masterpiece "The Thrill Killers" (1965), a weird combo of trapped-in-Hollywood-rat-race film noir meets psychopathic murderers on a bloody rampage in the tradition of "Psycho"! And third is not a horror movie but the jewel-in-the-crown of Steckler's form of improvised cinema "Rat Pfink a Boo Boo" (1966), which begins as a movie featuring three thugs involved in a kidnapping and ends as a...oh, comon', you just gotta listen to find out!!! Also on hand is Nate's 'Kids Corner' and gives his take on none other than the Season 4 finale of 'Stranger Things'!

Zontar: The Thing from Venus (1967), The Chooper (1971), and Lady Terminator (1989). Last November, in Episode 4, we discussed the Turkey. Not what some would call a "bad" film, but would probably not be on anybody's Oscar's list. These are the cinematic shipwrecks where the filmmakers tried their best, but just missed the mark in the eyes of most. But if they are still entertaining, then they can't be bad, right? Well we're back again this year to cover three more of these epic miss-adventures of cinema from directors Larry Buchanan, Ray Dennis Steckler, and H. Tjut Djalil. And boy, are you in for a treat with these! Make sure you listen to the whole episode to get a special discount code for Pallbearer Press! So sit back, and enjoy a nice second helping of some Turkey!

In 1924, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, two college students born to wealthy Chicago families, brutally murdered Bobby Franks, a 14-year-old boy. Nearly 100 years later, their famous case, known as one of the first 'thrill killings' of the modern era, captivates our societal imagination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkirGLsstSk&ab_channel=LeighBienen (Clarence Darrow Interview (Source unknown)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrjbL4eedkQ&ab_channel=jmd26 (Orson Welles as Clarence Darrow in Compulsion) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4bf_D0CQms&ab_channel=CIN%C3%89MOI (Compulsion Film (1959)) https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2018/07/26/reopening-the-case-files-of-leopold-and-loeb/ (The Paris Review - Reopening the Case Files of Leopold and Loeb) https://images.chicagohistory.org/asset/7270/ (Chicago History Museum Images - Eyeglasses owned by Nathan Leopold) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efkRX4VXgBI&ab_channel=USNationalArchives (Nina Barrett: The Leopold and Loeb Files: An Intimate Look at One of America's Most Infamous Crimes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWsuOh-S1II&ab_channel=ChristopherLeidenfrost (Thrill Me: NJ Production Clip) https://news.wttw.com/2018/11/26/mystery-nathan-leopold-s-bird-collection (WTTW: Nathan Leopold's Bird Collection) https://homicide.northwestern.edu/crimes/leopold/ (Northwestern University Archives | 1924: Leopold and Loeb | Homicide in Chicago 1870-1930) Follow us on IG: @themorbidmuseum Email us at themorbidmuseum@gmail.com Artwork: Brittany Schall Music: "Danse Macabre" by Camille Saint-Saens, performed by Kevin MacLeod 2022 All Rights Reserved

When they lovingly said I do, I don't think they meant murder.  Two seemingly stable, young people fell in love but the chemistry between them was toxic.  It would lead to addiction, theft, violence and a gruesome thrill killing. This is tale of the unholy  matrimony of Benjamin "BJ" and Erika Sifrit and the murder of Josh Ford and Martha "Geney" Crutchley.

With superheroes dominating today's multiplexes and streaming channels, we look back at the 1960s, when people got way into superheroes for two years and then got the hell over it. First, we've got the superhero as a metaphor for American imperialism, racism and police brutality in MR. FREEDOM (1968), a savage satire produced in France and directed by American expat William Klein. In "Mr. Freedom," fellow expat John Abbey (The Sandpiper) plays a sociopathic himbo in red, white and blue football pads who takes a break from beating up Black people to keep the "mixed-up, sniveling crybabies" of France from falling to a communist invasion led by an inflatable Chinese Dragon and a Russian agent clad in a comical amount of foam rubber. Featuring wacked-out visuals that capture the look and feel of French sci-fi comics (think Moebius) and later American dystopian comics such as "Dark Knight Returns" and "The Watchmen." Also starring Donald Pleasance as Mr. Freedom's boss, Dr. Freedom, Delphine Seyrig as Mr. Freedom's girlfriend, and French pop and jazz legend Serge Gainsbourg. Director William Klein died on the same day that we taped this ep. RIP. For our B-feature, we go waaaay low budget with "Rat Pfink a Boo Boo" (1966), a ramshackle effort from Ray Dennis Steckler, the mad genius behind the world's first monster musical, "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies." The film starts out as a pretty severe crime drama but then makes one of the most jarring tonal shifts in history when Rat Pfink and his trusty sidekick Boo Boo show up and turn it all into a goofy superhero flick, no doubt inspired by the wave of "Batmania" that swept the nation in 1966 with the brief mega success of TV's BATMAN with Adam West. This one's got some rock and roll numbers + a gorilla (!), causing Philena to ask why dudes are so into apes, a question that the straight cis men on the panel don't have all that good answer for. It's perhaps something we'll have to ponder in a future Ape-isode of OMFYS. MR. FREEDOM is streaming on Criterion Channel. RAT PFINK A BOO BOO is on tubi + it's including in Severin Films' upcoming "The Incredibly Strange Films of Ray Dennis Steckler" blu-ray boxset. The set also includes "Wild Guitar," "The Thrill Killers," and "Incredibly Strange Creatures..." among others + intros by Joe Bob Briggs. Go to severinfilms.com for more info.

Of course, it's 2018's The Clovehitch Killer, because we already reviewed The Office Killer, The Killer Tomatoes/Klowns/Bimbos/Workouts/Sharks, The Driller Killer, The Thrill Killers, Honeymoon Killers, and Fearless Vampire Killers - and didn't want ol' Clovehitch to feel left out.

As Detective Sergeant Steve Page closes in on a group of suspects in the likely murders of Ross Warren and John Russell, a new witness comes forward, one who narrowly escaped being thrown off the Bondi cliffs on a hot summer's night in December 1989. In a walk around the headland with the detective, retracing his steps on that fateful night, the witness returns to the spot where he was nearly hurled over. By suspicious coincidence, it's exactly the same location where John Russell was very likely thrown to his death.

Alton and Debra both suffered from developmental disabilities. When they met, they became partners in crime. Rape. Murder. Robbery. Torture. Children. Adults. Nothing and no human life was off limits for these two. They went on a chaotic crime spree covering six states.

1954 During the summer of 1954, two men were killed and multiple others were tortured by a group of teenage boys in Brooklyn New York. These crimes put a spotlight on 1950’s social rhetoric and McCarthyism with the public insisting that things like comic books and homosexuals were the reasons for such heinous crimes to be committed. But what if these crimes weren’t committed at all? What if a group of teenage youths were made to be examples of what happens when you live an alternative lifestyle in such an era? And what if… An art piece displayed the truth in plain sight? Check out our socials for more updates!

In Season 3 Episode 16 – Thrill Killers – Gemma covers the brutal murderers Christopher Jones and James Roughan from Australia and Holly talks through the horrific Toolbox Killers case. WARNING: This is a particularly disturbing episode with extreme graphic violence. Listener discretion is advised. Shoutouts to Superfan Catriona, a fabulous recommender and a lovely reviewer. In this episode Gemma is suffering a little with a hangover and Holly is overmassaged. The postman also stops by mid-recording while the girls struggle with some very upsetting content. Production, recording and post production completed by Producer Craig who does a lot of pointing at his fancy screen this episode. Which was ignored. Gemma mostly edited this week. All complaints should be sent to Producer Craig who is now going to attach lasers to his fingertips to try and catch the girls’ attention. www.whichmurderer.comWARNING - Explicit language, content and themes (plus whatever else will cover us legally).

Oh, to have been there in the heyday of Grindhouse Cinema!  Rows of theaters on New York’s 42nd Street playing classics such as I Drink Your Blood, Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things, Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS, Three on a Meathook, The Corpse Grinders, and more. These movies are the stuff of cinema legend, and late night video parties...and so are the theaters and audiences that experienced them!   And our guest today, 42nd Street Pete Chiarella, was there for the highs and lows (and sleazy lowdowns) of it all.  Pete, the creator of Grindhouse Purgatory magazine, has lots of stories to tell, and he was kind enough to join me to talk about the filmmakers, the movies, The Deuce, and the Lost Hustler Spirit of New York City.  I invite you to listen in, and experience some real Grindhouse legend. Take a hilarious trip through the gory, sexy, sleazy history of 'The Deuce" of the 1970's with tour guide 42nd Street Pete!   I hope you enjoy the episode.   Join the Hellbent for Horror Horde on Patreon!

Stereotypes should always be viewed with skepticism. That said, when we consider Jewish kids from Brooklyn we ordinarily think of well-behaved, studious types on their way to “good schools” and professions of one sort or another. Rude boys roving the streets of New York seeking to “cleanse” the city by assaulting and even killing “bums” do not readily come to mind. Yet there were such Jewish thugs in the 1950s. Mariah Adin tells their tale in her wonderful book The Brooklyn Thrill-Kill Gang and the Great Comic Book Scare of the 1950s (Praeger, 2014). In the summer of 1954, the Brooklyn “Thrill Killers” murdered two men and tortured several others. All of the victims were essentially indigent men. After the boys were captured, it was discovered that their leader, troubled teenager Robert Tractenberg, was fascinated with the Nazis. Not only that, he was a big fan of violent horror comic books, some of which contained avenging characters. These facts led investigators to believe that the message found in the comics influenced the Thrill Killers’ violent mission and methods. In other words, the violent comics were corrupting youth and were, perhaps, at the root of a perceived national upsurge in “juvenile delinquency.” If this were true, then some sort of censorship might be in order. But what of constitutional considerations? Listen in and learn how it all played out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

(Elizabeth and Mariah)  This week, Elizabeth interviews Mariah Adin about her book The Brooklyn Thrill-Kill Gang and the Great Comic Book Scare of the 1950s to explore why juvenile delinquency kept so many parents up at night in the US in the 1950s.  Were comic books leading kids to lives of crime?
