The crime shook northern Illinois and is one of the most shocking stories to ever occur in this otherwise peaceful region. Surprisingly, this story is actually still ongoing today, 61 years later.

Sharon and Mindy talk about 2 classic horror films, "The Night of the Hunter" and "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?". These movies heavily influenced future horror movies and modern films in general. But are these movies actually scary, should they be considered "horror", and do these movies still hold up today? That’s what they try to find out.
