In 1995, as Madonna was at the height of her global fame, she became the target of a terrifying and highly delusional stalker named Robert Dewey Hoskins. Hoskins scaled the wall of her Hollywood home multiple times, cornered her staff, and left a horrific ultimatum: he claimed Madonna was destined to be his wife, and if he couldn't have her, no one could.

In this episode, we dive into the bizarre true story behind Cocaine Bear and the man at the center of it all, Andrew Carter Thornton II. From his privileged upbringing in Kentucky horse country and military service to his involvement in an international drug-smuggling operation, Thornton's life took a series of unexpected turns that ended with a fatal parachute jump in 1985 and a cocaine shipment scattered across the Southeast. A drug-smuggling disaster, a black bear, and a duffel bag of cocaine became one of the strangest stories in true crime history.

Happy Halloween, ResiCrew! On today's episode of Off Script we will discuss the horror movie Ghostwatch that aired on BBC1 on October 31st, 1992.

The scariest horror movies are the ones that feel like they could actually happen. The 2008 film The Strangers taps into one of our most basic fears of being targeted by people we don’t know, in a place where we’re supposed to feel safe. The movie follows a couple whose night takes a terrifying turn when three masked strangers begin terrorizing them at an isolated home. The director, Bryan Bertino, was inspired to write The Strangers after hearing about a chilling unsolved case: the Keddie Cabin Murders. In April 1981, at Cabin 28 in Keddie, California, Sue Sharp, her teenage son John, and his friend Dana Wingate were murdered inside the family’s cabin. Sue’s 12-year-old daughter, Tina, disappeared that same night, and her remains were discovered years later, in 1984. Despite decades of investigation, unanswered questions, and renewed interest in the case, no one has been charged with the murders.
