Send us a text
Who could imagine that a love for a TV show could inspire a real-life killer? Hold onto your seats as we, your hosts Wendy and Tiffany, dissect the unnerving tale of the Dexter Killer. With our week's triumphs and trails as backdrop, we dissect the Showtime favorite and the unnerving parallels between its protagonist, and a man who justified killing in the name of fiction.
Our journey doesn't end there. Unveiling layers of a chilling story, we recount the twisted fantasies of Mark Twitchell, as he masterminded his own murder scene for his film, House of Cards. From his admiration of Stephen King to his unsettling manifesto, The SK Confessions, we traverse through the labyrinth of a mind that scared us with its unnerving nerdiness. This episode isn't for the soft-hearted, as we reveal the shocking details of Mark's transformation into a killer.
Buckle up, as we delve deeper into the unnerving past of Mark Twitchell, Canada's infamous murderer. Discover the oddities of his childhood, his obsession with Anakin Skywalker, and the terror he brought to unsuspecting victims. We wrap up with the horrifying cover-up of his crimes, the relentless police investigation, and the courtroom drama that ended in justice. Join us, as we explore the depths of humanity and the disturbing reality of a seemingly ordinary man turned ruthless killer.
