Before Scream became a franchise… there was Danny Rolling.

In Part One of this two-part series, we examine the brutal crimes of Danny Rolling — the Gainesville Ripper — and the real-life violence that helped shape one of the most iconic horror films of all time.

This episode dives deep into Rolling’s childhood, the abuse he endured, his mental deterioration, and the five murders that terrorized Gainesville, Florida. From graphic crime scenes to chilling courtroom moments, this is a documentary-level breakdown of the man whose crimes blurred the line between reality and horror entertainment.

This isn’t about movies yet.
This is about where the nightmare started.
