In this horrifying episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale exposes the unimaginable crimes of Dean Corll, known to neighbors as The Candy Man — but remembered in history as one of America’s most sadistic serial killers. Between 1970 and 1973, Corll, along with two teenage accomplices, David Brooks and Elmer Wayne Henley, abducted, raped, tortured, and murdered at least 28 boys in Houston, Texas. Operating behind the façade of a friendly candy maker, Corll lured young boys with sweets, drugs, and parties — then dragged them into a soundproof torture room where he carried out unspeakable acts. The nightmare came to an end only when one of his accomplices, Henley, turned on him and killed him in a moment of panic and revenge. Damien Vale guides listeners through the chilling methods, psychological manipulation, and aftermath of the Houston Mass Murders — a case so gruesome that many believe it never received the public scrutiny it deserved. This is a story of trust betrayed, innocence destroyed, and evil hiding in plain sight.
