    Spree Killer, Daniel Gonzalez, did nothing but drink, do drugs, play violent video games and watch horror movies. This shouldn’t have been a massive issue, but it became one when Freddy Krueger turned to speak directly to Daniel from the screen.

  • 123 • Mr. Krebs

    In the late 90’s, residents of San Luis Obispo were concerned that a serial killer may be on the loose following the disappearance of two Cal Poly Tech students within a two year span, followed by yet another bright young woman abducted on her way to study at Cal.

    A massive police effort would soon bring to light a separate killer than that of the original, highly publicized Kristin Smart case. This all thanks to the work of a parole officer whom thought to question a recently released inmate he referenced as being short and stocky, yet agile.

    Mr. Krebs.

  • 118 • The Dead Man
    Aug 14 2024

    Dark Topic Cold.

    May 10th 1973. A masked man brandishing a pistol and a rifle, enters the CIBC (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce) in downtown Kenora, Ontario. A dead man’s switch that looks more like a duck whistle, is clenched between his teeth. The switch is connected to a bag slung over his shoulder which he claims to contain a bomb. Everybody better behave, or be blown to smithereens.
