Gothic media moguls Kelly Florence and Meg Hafdahl, authors of The Science of Monsters, The Science of Women in Horror, and The Science of Stephen King, and co-hosts of the Horror Rewind podcast called “the best horror film podcast out there” by Film Daddy, present a guide to the serial killers who inspired the movies and media we all know and love. Delve into the brutal truth behind horror’s secret: many monsters portrayed on the silver screen are based on true murderers. Uncover the truth behind the real monsters of horror, answering such questions as:

• What is the science behind serial killers’ motivations like Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy?
• How did detectives discover the identities of criminals like the Boston Strangler and the BTK Strangler?
• Has science made it possible to unmask Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer?
• What is the science behind female versus male serial killers?
