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

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.

Join JD as he asks Nico all about his life, and crimes in graphic detail including grave robbing, cannibalism, and cold blooded murder. Nico spares no detail and shows no remorse for his actions.

S3E8: Sexual Sadists Pt. 5

In the 8th episode of Season 3, your host JD Horror brings you two more extremely disturbing tales as we give you part 5 of our series on Sexual Sadists.

WARNING: The following episode continues graphic and disturbing depictions of sexual torture and violence. This episode is definitely not for the faint of heart. Listener discretion is strongly advised. You’ve been warned.

Case #1: 44 Days of Hell - Four Japanese teenagers abducted 17 year old Junko Furuta, and for 44 days she was subjected to every form of torture imaginable. Known in the Japanese media as the "Concrete Encased School Girl Murder Case", this is definitely one of the most brutal and heinous crimes in all of human history. (The Murder of Junko Furuta, Japan)

Case #2: The Collector - Bob Berdella, better known as "The Kansas City Butcher" who take his inspiration from a 1963 novel as a teen. The brutality of his crimes would eclipse anything that author John Fowles could have imagined when he wrote the story. Berdella would be convicted of the rape, torture, and murder of six men... But could there have been more? (B. Berdella, Kansas City, OH, USA)

S3E7: Under a Crimson Moon

In the seventh episode of Season 3 of True Crime Horror Story, your host JD Horror brings you three tales of black metal, murder, mutilation, and devil worship.

Case #1: The Freezing Moon - This is the story of the creators of Norwegian Black Metal: MAYHEM. When Oystein Aarseth aka Euronymous formed a band and started a new style of heavy metal music, he didn't know that it would ultimately lead to violence, church burnings, and his own murder. (V. Vikernes, Norway)

Case #2: The Man of 1000 Faces - Jaime Osuna was a cold blood remorseless killer whose victims would be left with the eternal image of his permanent smile. He would commit quite possibly his most savage act long after he had been locked behind bars. (J. Osuna, California)

Case #3: The Number of the Beast - Nikko Jenkins heard the voice of an Egyptian Serpent God commanding him to go on a killing spree in August of 2013. The horror of his murders would be eclipsed in brutality only by what he would eventually do to himself. (N. Jenkins, Nebraska)
