True Crime TV: See No Evil
One of my favourite true crime shows is Investigation Discovery’s See No Evil. I like experiencing a true crime narrative through recorded evidence, and this show is always packed with security camera videos, recordings of police interviews, and audio clips like emergency calls or tapped phone calls.

See No Evil on Investigation Discovery The scariest and most unique aspect of this show is that the crimes happen to very charming, innocent people who happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. In most of the cases, because the violence was so random, finding leads outside of the victim’s social circle made it nearly impossible to identify a suspect. But, with the ever-seeing eye of CCTV, police are able to patch together very accurate timelines for the crimes.

See No Evil on Investigation Discovery Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and it makes the terror of the show’s case files that much worse. Could happen to anyone at any time. I find myself hoping to be on camera when I’m in random places. If I’m going to be assaulted, I sure hope the attacker could be identified.

Paranormal Caught on Camera
At the top of my list of favourite things are tv shows about ghost sightings caught on camera. A new show, Paranormal Caught on Camera, is great addition to the genre. The Gettysburg episode was memorable and spooky.

Rue Morgue Dark Carnival: Hilarious House of Frightenstein
This past weekend, I was at the Rue Morgue Dark Carnival in Hamilton, Ontario. The expo was great overall, and I will be posting photos all week. The highlight of the expo, for me, was seeing Dave Alexander, Editor-in-chief of Rue Morgue Magazine, interview Mitch Markowitz, Associate Producer of the Saturday morning classic television programme the Hilarious House of Frightenstein who is also known for his role as Super Hippy alongside Vincent Price in the show. Dave moderated the talk and audience questions really well, and Mitch told some one-of-a-kind stories about Billy Van, Vincent Price and the making of the show.

Jacques, Zut Alors
I wonder if my lusty weakness for French men stems from my childhood love for Jacques in the Beetlejuice cartoon?
