Live show audio, y'all. Let's discuss three true crime cases and the horror movies they inspired. First, we’re going to be discussing The Hills Have Eyes franchise and the legend of a cannibalistic Scottish clan that inspired it. Then, we’ll talk about the movie Changeling and the tragic murder case at its center. Finally, we’ll discuss Borderland, which was inspired by a drug lord who thought a human sacrifice would make his men invisible.
