Description

They are three of the most infamous names in true crime history: Ed Gein, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the Menendez Brothers. From Gein’s grave robberies and macabre trophies to Dahmer’s horrific apartment crimes and the Menendez brothers’ shocking family murder, these cases shattered any sense of normalcy and redefined what horror means in real life.

Ed Gein’s crimes inspired Hollywood’s darkest creations, from Psycho to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and now he is the subject of a new Netflix series. Jeffrey Dahmer’s story blurred the line between human and monster, while the Menendez brothers’ trial exposed the disturbing mix of privilege, trauma, and violence that lurked behind a mansion’s walls.

This is night two of True Crime Recaps’ Halloween Week, and the darkness is only getting deeper. We began with Richard Ramirez, but it all leads to our Halloween Day finale.

Which case do you think Netflix should tackle next?
