    EP209: Sacrifice & Cinema: Sandy Charles, the 14-Year-Old Horror Fan Turned Killer
    Nov 4 2026
    At just 14 years old, Sandy Charles committed a horrific, horror movie-inspired murder that shocked an entire nation. In 1995, the teen from La Ronge, Saskatchewan became obsessed with the 1989 supernatural horror film Warlock and convinced that he could acquire the power to FLY by performing a gruesome ritual: murdering a young, male, fatherless virgin and cooking his body fat. Tragically, 7-year-old Johnathan Thimpsen fit the criteria. What followed was an almost unfathomable act of violence, fueled by a twisted belief in black magic and the promise of supernatural powers. But how does a 14-year-old cross the line between cinematic fantasy and real-life murder, and what happens when a court decides he isn't criminally responsible? This is the deeply disturbing case of Sandy Charles, where Hollywood horror became a child's deadly reality.FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE wherever you are listening!Join our Patreon family!

  • The Amityville Horror: Death. Demons. Deception.

    The Amityville Horror: Death. Demons. Deception.
    Oct 30 2026
    The infamous Amityville Horror House is the site of six brutal murders, alleged demonic hauntings, and one of the most controversial paranormal mysteries in American history. In November 1974, 23-year-old Ronald DeFeo Jr. slaughtered his parents and four younger siblings as they slept inside their family home at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. Just over a year later, George and Kathy Lutz moved into the same house with their three children, only to claim they'd entered a living nightmare. Mysterious voices, unexplained physical attacks, and an unseen presence that seemed determined to drive them out. Their terrifying account would inspire The Amityville Horror, one of the most famous and fiercely disputed haunting stories of all time. But was the house genuinely plagued by something supernatural, or was the entire ordeal an elaborate hoax? From the gruesome DeFeo family annihilation to the Lutz family's increasingly spooky claims, we're diving into EVERYTHING. Happy Halloween!FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE wherever you are listening!Join our Patreon family!

  • EP207: Found In the Fridge: The Tragic Murder of Abby Choi

    EP207: Found In the Fridge: The Tragic Murder of Abby Choi
    Oct 28 2026
    Hong Kong influencer and socialite Abby Choi gave her ex-husband's family everything: a multimillion-dollar home, jobs, and a lifestyle most people could only dream of. Then, in February 2023, the 28-year-old mother of four vanished. Abby rubbed shoulders with fashion's elite while generously bankrolling her ex-husband, Alex Kwong, and his family. After she disappeared, police searched a village house in Tai Po. Inside, they found what appeared to be a makeshift butcher shop, dismembered human remains, and a skull in a pot of soup. As investigators pieced together Abby's final hours, suspicion fell on the people who had benefited most from her generosity: Alex Kwong, his brother Anthony Kwong, and their father Kwong Kau, who are now on trial for her murder. What emerged was a story of greed, entitlement, and alleged family betrayal, raising the question: how does a woman give someone everything, only to allegedly lose her life because they wanted more?NOTE: As of this recording, the trial is ongoing. All allegations discussed in this episode remain unproven unless otherwise stated, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE wherever you are listening!Join our Patreon family!

Absolutely binge worthy. I love this podcast. I'm an avid true crime fanatic. Normally, I would have to take breaks from the constant "doom & gloom". However, Tank brings his well informed levity while Investigator Slayer drops her wicked case bombs with her intellectually vicious rhetoric. The combination is refreshing. entertaining and hilarious. It means I NEVER have to stop listening. EVER. Keep it up. You guys ring my bell every time!

Feed me. F*ck me. Psychopedia me.
