Since we started listening several years ago I find myself using phrases from the show all the time such as:
Yay indeed
Let's go on a trip
You sir may fuck off
Casey Anthony's hallway
Is anyone else finding themselves doing this?
It’s meant to play on all the typical horror tropes. The movie even references horror tropes as part of its plot.
I do appreciate Jimmie’s taste in horror, though. All except High Tension.
I’m listening to the Scary Movies bonus episode and when he said there are a bunch of people their age with sleep disorders he nail it, at least for me. I’m a mid-40s woman that saw the Nightmare on Elm Street movies when I was a kid and I have never slept a good night in my life that wasn’t a result of prescription sleeping medication or weed.
How many episodes are you connected to? Live/lived in the town? Knew people mentioned? Etc
We live in Wheeling, West Virginia (episode 479 Born to Be Bad) and across the river from Bellaire, Ohio (episode 658 the dark prince of Belmont county). I know exactly where both houses are, knew lots of the names in the wheeling episode and had friends who went to school with the killer in the Bellaire episode. The killers in Episode 591 Best Friends Murder - Hudson Ohio were from my hometown growing up and I went to church with them.
...Jon Moxley, the wrestler with AEW? Been listening to the guys since day one but never bothered to see what they looked like. Watched for the first time on Netflix and it struck me a bit. I'll try and post a pic for comparison if I can.
This week in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, when a man starts bragging to his friends that he committed a terrible murder, the friends don't quite believe him until he brings them to the body of a beloved local woman who used to babysit the killer. Those friends tell police and detectives walk into an awful scene, with strange weapons used for the killing. Finally, the killer tells a cell mate what his true intentions were, which may be more disturbing than the actual murder!
Bonus Real Estate Report:
Last week in Moundsville, West Virginia there was a double homicide and the perpetrator was shot by a sheriff's deputy.
Key points:
A 26 year old with a history of stalking females me the family at church. He asked permission to date their 16 year old daughter. They said no. He stalked her. They had court that morning about filing charges against him for stalking. The perp shows up at their house that night and shoots the wife (a local highschool teacher) through the window and kills her. He busts in a shoots the husband (former local teacher who was fired over suspicious behaviors with students). Their son dials 911 but doesn't speak. Perp grabs the daughter and holds a gun to her head on the porch. Sheriff's deputy with a rifle shoots the perp in the head and kills him.
This week in Franklin, Louisiana, an awkward exchange between an ex couple, involving a secret Walmart meeting and a home pregnancy test, leads to a wild night of carnage. A woman is taken for a scary ride, being told she certainly won't survive what's about to happen, which somehow unfolds into even more murder, and one of the craziest chases that a murderer has ever tried to pull off. Who will survive? And who will admit to what are major questions?
Real Estate Report:
Their socials have been lacking back to back on pictures. I've tried to find more and have had a hard time too, so I think it's just the cases.
I joined one of the STM Facebook groups a while back (not an official one, which I'm aware is my bad) because I was interested in reading discussions about the podcast, but holy shit is it a mess. Virtually nothing related to the show, at best it's people reposting random articles about wacky crimes. Whatever, fine.
But holy shit the trauma dumping. Why is that where people choose to post ten paragraph essays about all the crappy things that have ever happened to them?? And then lengthy update posts about their trauma and mental illness?? I know WAY too much about these people's lives. I understand feeling affinity with people who share a similar interest but it seems like a significant number of posters there have that as their only community that they're part of, online or otherwise. And whenever someone suggests that maybe the group should stay on topic people pile on saying they have no heart.
And then you have the usual weirdos posting parasocial/horny crap about the hosts or tagging them in cringey posts, but that's just expected.
Anyway, I know I can just leave, but it's kind of a fascinating shit show. Yikes.
So, I've got most of the episodes on here and plan to continually add the new ones as they come in. Feel free to check it out. You can search by state, date of crime, year, etc. It's a work in progress as time allows. I need to fill out Notes, Titles, BUT 98 % of the Cities/States are in the database.
NOTE: It's a free site right now, so it may be limited in the number of hits and may crash.

Does anyone know if there is something that says when episodes take place? I really like the episodes that take place in the 1960’s or before. I tried a quick Google and it was useless. Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!
This week in Stab, Kentucky, when a shot rings out from a grassy knoll, killing a beloved local figure, a mob of residents in pick up trucks chase the killer down. This all leads to a twisted and strange story of crazy motivations and wild conspiracies that no one can even believe is real, especially in such a small town. But it turns out, sometimes conspiracies can actually be real and this murderous tale proves it!
