Thank you, 2024. So far just in January, you’ve given us some great true crime docuseries, including Natalia Speaks and now American Nightmare. All I knew about the case covered in American Nightmare prior to watching was how Netflix described it: After a home invasion and abduction, a young couple’sContinue Reading
The first words we hear from David Glatzel in Netflix’s The Devil on Trial documentary is him introducing himself. Then he explains, “When I was 11, I was possessed by the devil.” There was another documentary about the case, The Devil Made Me Do It Shock Docs, which premiered onContinue Reading
“CREATURE is a Captivating Historical Thriller Streaming only on Netflix October 20th,” the Gofobo email subject line read. #InterestPiqued. The synopsis that accompanied the trailer read: “When tragedy befalls a reckless scientist in Ottoman-era Istanbul, his student uses untested methods to finish his work with devastating consequences.” Oh, wait. IContinue Reading
“I’m—I’m shit scared. I’m terrified,” Kudzanai says in “Believers,” the second episode of Netflix’s four-part docuseries Encounters. That’s how he felt following his sighting. He and his brother Tapfu were among the over 60 students who reported seeing a UFO and mysterious being during break time at the Ariel SchoolContinue Reading
When I started watching The Playing Card Killer, one of my first questions was, “Why didn’t they dub him the Tarot Card Killer instead?” I think it was the card on the cover that drew me to the docuseries to begin with. The cover leading this post differs slightly fromContinue Reading
Happy almost Halfway-to-Halloween, fellow Foolish Mortals! Looks like we have a treat coming our way this month with the release of The Hitchhiking Ghosts series. But in a crazy twist, it will be on Netflix instead of Disney+. What? Why? How? Let’s first take a peek at what the 13-episodeContinue Reading
Netflix released MH370: The Plane That Disappeared on Wednesday, March 8. At first, I was indifferent about it. “Meh. Are they still talking about that plane? Haven’t they figured out what happened to it yet?” I wondered flippantly. And yet…I found myself drawn to the three-part docuseries. After watching theContinue Reading
Netflix’s We Have a Ghost is set in Chicago. However, those familiar with typical Windy City neighborhoods may find themselves having doubts about whether filming actually took place there. Rightly so. (And if this describes you, what a great eye you have!) While the house in We Have a GhostContinue Reading
Netflix certainly has a talent for proving that “truth is stranger than fiction.” They’ve done it again with their newest true crime documentary, The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker. Normally hatchet-wielding hitchhikers are associated with the stuff of horror stories. In this case, Caleb Lawrence “Kai” McGillvary, the homeless —or home-free, asContinue Reading
Is Netflix’s Wednesday about to get competition for the Top 10 series spot, or maybe just some additional company? Wednesday has held strong with a Top 10 showing ever since it premiered on Nov. 23, 2022. However, The Irish Times recently shared its picks for the 10 best new showsContinue Reading
Out of all the interviews I’ve done over the years here on Haunt Jaunts, I’ve never interviewed anyone like Johannes Ringen. Directors, yes. Stars of shows, definitely. But a composer? Nope. That’s a first. Johannes Ringen is a Norwegian-born, LA-trained composer who has worked in the American film industry onContinue Reading
You know how sometimes great books don’t always translate into equally great movies? That doesn’t appear to be the case with The Pale Blue Eye, which writer-director Scott Cooper adapted from the novel of the same name by Louis Bayard. The horror mystery thriller opened in theaters on Dec. 23,Continue Reading
