It’s Histories of Horror’s Season 1 Finale, and we’re closing out our very first year with a chilling dive into rural Iowa’s dark past—the 1962 Keokuk County massacre by Gayno Gilbert Smith.

For decades, the rain-soaked horror of that May night left an indelible scar on a small Midwest community. Gayno turned family bonds into a nightmare, cutting phone lines and hunting his own bloodline through the darkness.

From the silent, long-unsolved disappearance of his stepmother to the miraculous survival of 15-year-old Patsy Lou, Sai and AL uncover the heavy layers of tragedy, terror, and the lifelong toll paid by those left behind.

In this powerful finale, Histories of Horror remembers the lives stolen, honors the resilience of the survivors, and bids farewell to an unforgettable first season before Season 2 kicks off next episode!

Sai Marie got unlawfully arrested in Los Angeles on March 28th while on assignment representing the Authors of the Resistance at No Kings LA.

However, being "boots on the ground" came with additional daily costs, and after being arrested and freed with no charges due to being press, Sai was mistreated and abused - forced to crawl into the paddy wagon when she never should have been detained in press gear.

She is seeking support for her legal fight and travel expenses so she can focus entirely on the mission while there.

This afternoon on Histories of Horror, we are pulling back the curtain on the scorching heat of unchecked power—the brutal 2000 murder of PR man Bubby Dacer and Emmanuel Corbito.

This isn't just a political hit; it’s a story of state-sponsored terror where victims were strangled with wire and burned on a pyre of tires in a Cavite creek.

But the horror isn't just history. We are also addressing a predator closer to home: Christy Perez.

We’re exposing how this convicted sex offender has infiltrated advocacy and spiritual spaces to normalize a history of exploiting children—including the forced sexual servitude of a 15-year-old missing transgirl from Alabama.

We are standing with Simona Bearcub to name the monsters in our own backyard.
