- 115 - Tidbits of Terror: 12
Since September 1st was officially the start of spooky season, we have a bunch of spooky recommendations for you on what to read and watch in Creeptember. We discuss some scary books by two horror writing legends, a new Netflix film starring Kate Siegel, a miniseries on Hulu that seems like it was made for us, we try to predict what movies will be on Joe Bob’s Halloween Hoedown, and also something so horrifying, you may never want to eat meat again.

Despite plenty of local news coverage and a feature in the NYT, many Chicagoans don’t even know about the Chicago Strangler. Frustratingly, there are few leads or clues as to who’s responsible for the murders of 51 women (that we know of) over the past 2 decades. We focus on the timelines, facts, family members, and of course, the 51 victims.The Victims:

We’re going to be talking about dumbass criminals. Too often we hear about the criminals who outwit authorities for years, or sometimes indefinitely, due to their smarts, cunning or just plain old good luck. Well, none of that applies to the folks we’re about to discuss, so let’s get stupid!
