Check out The Devil Within: A Season in Hell. A series of random shootings, targeting young women with dark hair, causes panic in New York City. Twenty-four year old postal worker David Berkowitz, an admitted Satanist, would later claim his neighbors dog was possessed by a demon that was ordering him to kill. The police were powerless to help, so much so that they reached out to the Mafia for assistance in getting the killer, known as The Son of Sam, off the streets. The Devil Within: A Season in Hell explores what led to the murder spree: economic conditions on the city, a mentally disturbed young man, dwindling resources across the state… and a blackout that led to the worst riots in a generation. Written and narrated by Branden Morgan
