Murder Coaster

Happy Halloween! Today we begin a journey into the controversial life and times of the ultimate ghost hunting duo: Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Were they valiant paranormal investigators and Christian superheroes battling demons and saving the world from Satan himself?

Or were they frauds, nothing more than carnival-sideshow hucksters selling hoaxes for fame and profit? Or even worse . . . sexual predators?

Welcome back to Ghost October and the Amityville Horror House! Last week we brought you the story of Ronald "Butch" DeFeo who murdered his entire family in cold blood, and today we bring you the story of the Lutz Family who moved into the notorious house afterwards, and whose chilling paranormal experiences were the basis of the book and movie The Amityville Horror.

Was it true? Was it a hoax? Or was it all a bizarre quaalude induced hallucination? Should the real title be the Amityville Quaalude Horror?

Join us and find out! Happy Spooky Season!

The story of Butch DeFeo and the Amityville Horror House Massacre is like a Sopranos Halloween Special.

The mystery of how six people could be shot, one after the other, with an incredibly loud, high-powered hunting rifle, none of them waking up and just lying in their beds peacefully sleeping, the neighbors not hearing a thing, endures to this day.

Join us as we go over all the many theories of the murders which would eventually lead to one of the most famous haunted house tales in the history of the world: the Amityville Horror.

The story of Joseph Kallinger, the shoemaker, is one of the most horrifying and bizarre tales in the history of true crime, shocking beyond belief.

Aided by his twelve-year-old son, Joseph Kallinger, suffering from bizarre hallucinations, went on a brutal spree of sexual mutilation, rape and murder, on a mission from God, to kill every person on the face of the earth.

Punk-rock gangbanger Frank the Shank was like something right out of A Clockwork Orange, a sociopathic teenager searching the night for ultraviolence and murder, reigning in a bizarre world of punk gangs with names like something out of the Warriors: Pig Children Tribe, Los Angeles Death Squad, Circle One Family, Suicidal Psychos, Fight For Freedom and LMP.

Today we take a dive into the punk rock gangs of 1980s Los Angeles and the myth and legend of the murdering psychopath Frank the Shank.

Welcome back to the story of serial killer David Alan Gore.

While today’s episode is a sequel, telling the story of David’s time on death row, it is much more than that, it’s an exploration of severe brain injuries and the struggle of those afflicted with them, and the story of how one young man’s fascination and obsession with true crime brought him to disturbing realms, but also, ultimately heroic ones, for it is also the story of Tony Ciaglia, the Serial Killer whisperer.
