S6E1: Sexual Sadists Pt. 8 (If the Shoe Fits)

In the debut episode of Season 6, your host JD Horror brings you the next chapter in our series on Sexual Sadists.

WARNING: This podcast contains graphic and disturbing subject matter. Listener discretion is STRONGLY ADVISED.

"If the Shoe Fits" - Today we are cooking up a look at a shocking serial killer, topped with a sauce of sexual sadism, sprinkled with a seasoning of schizophrenia, a dash of serious childhood abuse and finally, just to add that extra spice, a side of fetishism.

He believed he could hear the voice of God commanding him to kill 3 million people, and that he needed to remove their genitals.

This is the story of the strange case of "The Shoemaker" Joseph Kallinger. (J. Kallinger, Pennsylvania, USA)

s4e12.png

They say a man is often measured by the way he treats and takes care of his family. In the Season 4 Finale of True Crime Horror Story, your host JD Horror tells the story of three cases of Family Annihilators. Some called them dad... some called them brother... some called them son... but in the end the world would call them by their true name: Monsters.

Case #1: Poor Little Rich Boy - The Van Breda family lived in a ritzy gated community in South Africa. The kind of place you would feel safe to raise a family in. That was until 20 year old Henri placed a call to emergency services with the shocking claim that invaders had hacked his family to death with an axe, but the truth was much more disturbing. (Henri Van Breda, Stellenbosch, South Africa)

Case #2: The Mockingbird Hill Massacre - Ronald Gene Simmons' wife and children lived under the constant threat of his abuse. When his wife Becky finally decided that she had enough, all she wanted was one last family Christmas before fleeing his iron hand. Unfortunately, it would lead to the deaths of the entire Simmons family. (Ronald Gene Simmons, Arkansas, USA)

Case #3: Deadly Deception - Jean Claude Romand build his extravagant life on a series of lies, but his castles in the sky would eventually come crashing down not just for him but for his entire family. (Jean Claude Romand, France)

S4E10: Mother (Edmund Kemper)

They say a boy’s best friend is his mother. Well the weird ones do at least, and perhaps there are none weirder than the subject of our story today. While the neighborhood kids were out playing tag, he was pretending to asphyxiate in the gas chamber or be electrocuted to death… Instead of playing with GI Joes or wrestle buddies, this boy would cut the heads off of his sister’s dolls and pretend to watch their non-existent blood drain onto the living room carpet as a part of juvenile pseudo black magic rituals... This odd little boy would grow up into a hulk of a man, and he would smash his way into the nightmares of college students in Northern California and beyond after word of his atrocious acts spread like wildfire.

This is the story of the Co-Ed Killer…. Edmund Kemper….

WARNING: The following episode contains extremely graphic depictions of murder, rape, incest and necrophilia. Listener discretion is strongly advised. If you are weak of stomach or faint of heart, this one is not for you. But then again, this is True Crime Horror Story… and you should know by now what you are in store for. So strap in, grab a hammer and a beer, and say hello to your mother for me….

S4E3: Sexual Sadists Pt. 6 (Master Manipulators)

s4e3.png

In the newest installment of our series of sexual sadists, we will be focusing on the stories of master manipulators. These are the stories of evil men who were able to convince impressionable teenagers to join them on a wicked ride to the darkest recesses of the human condition. These monsters used their odd charisma as a means of attracting kids, usually down on their luck and in need of a big brother type of figure, to help them enact their vile fantasies. Listeners, be careful who you run with, as it is often said you are the company you keep is a reflection of who you want to be… or just maybe... who you already are.

WARNING: This episode is extremely graphic and disturbing. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Case #1: Candy Coated Cruelty - Dean Corll was known as The Candy Man of Houston Heights. He would often be outside of schools giving free candy to the kids out of his white van, but he didn't do it out of the kindness of his heart.. instead it was the beginning of his grooming technique. Corll would use teenagers to help him abduct children that he could take back to his house and put on his torture board. (Dean Corll, Houston, TX)

Case #2: The Freeway Killer - William Bonin used his charisma to convince a series of young men to aide him in his murderous journey of torture and pain. His reign of terror in Southern California of the 1970's would have parents everywhere warning their children not to accept a ride from strangers. (William Bonin, Southern California)

S4E1: American Gothic (The Curious Case of HH Holmes)

s4e1.png

In the late 1800’s, on the corner of South Wallace Avenue and West 63rd St in Chicago, Illinois there stood a modern day castle. It featured secret passageways and doors leading to nowhere and it's more than 100 rooms served as lodging, business spaces, and retail, but its basement however was reserved for the murder of up to 200 unfortunate souls.

The three story building’s owner didn’t do it for the thrill, or the process, of the killing, nor for some sick need to possess the body, or product, of his evil actions. Instead it’s proprietor did it for one of the oldest and most pervasive reasons in human history, money. The almighty dollar.

He was born Herman Webster Mudgett, but you might know him better at the torture doctor, the keeper of the murder castle, the devil of the windy city, or the true archetype of the evil rich guy… this is the story of Dr. HH Holmes. (Chicago, IL)

Host JD Horror is joined by author and filmmaker John Borowski to tell the tale of one of the first and most notorious American serial killers of all time.
