In this chilling Microbrew, we dive into the twisted loop where fiction and reality collide—examining two haunting cases that blur the line between cinematic horror and true crime. First, we unravel the disturbing murder of Marilyn DePue, whose killer’s macabre actions and getaway eerily mirror scenes later immortalized in the cult horror film Jeepers Creepers. Then, we flip the script to explore the brutal murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart, where two of her classmates had crafted a chilling plan inspired by the slasher movie Scream. They wanted to become real-life killers, mimicking the masked murderers from the film they idolized. From a blood-stained van on a lonely highway to a masked fantasy turned deadly, this episode explores how horror films can reflect real darkness—and sometimes, awaken it. Are these stories cautionary tales, or proof that the line between screen and psyche is thinner than we think?
