Update: 2023-10-17
Description
Hey friends! We are back this week with a brief review over the 1978 horror/slasher film "Eaten Alive" and the story that inspired the movie. The story of Joseph Douglas Ball. Joe Ball is believed to be an American serial killer who killed between 3 and 14+ women in the 1930’s in Elmendorf, Bexen County, Texas. He was also known as the Butcher of Elmendorf or the Alligator Man or Bluebeard of South Texas. We say believed, and we will let you decide for yourself at the end of this episode.
Be sure to pair this episode with the cocktail the "Spicy Alligator" which you can find on our Instagram @CrimesandCocktails or our Patreon.
