Episode Synopsis

Today is our final Talk Horror to Me. Kim and I are diving into the chilling story of Danny Rolling, better known as the Gainesville Ripper. Between 1989 and 1990, Rolling committed a series of brutal murders. First a family in Shreveport, Louisiana, then five college students in Gainesville, Florida. His crimes terrorized communities, sparked intense media coverage and panic on campus, and would go on to influence horror cinema in ways that often go unnoticed. In this episode, we’ll trace his early life and background, detail the murder sprees, follow the investigation and trial, and then explore how Rolling’s real-life horror helped shape the 1996 film Scream.Thank you Kim for being on the show this season!
