What it do! What it do! Zombie Zane here once again coming to ya live and direct from deep in the heart of the seven six one oh seven. How goes it folks? Hope all is well in your corner(s) of the world. This week at Dead End Horror, Sasha and I are talking serial killers. I think she’s doing an article on Albert Fish who is one of the most evil serial killers ever. And as for me, I’m doing a nice little piece on some of the not so well known serial killers. In addition to all of this, Sasha and I also watched the film ‘8213 Gacy House’ and we both have reviews of it up so be sure and check those out. In any case, here are some of the less known serial killers:
Ever heard of a dude named Pedro Alonso Lopez? (We need some more lemon pledge) He’s also known as the Monster of Andes. This crazy shitter killed like 350 women and children. He would only kill during the day so that he could see the eyes of his victims more clearly. (Sick fuck) When he was captured he told the authorities that if he were released, he would continue to kill. After a 20 year bid, he was released near the Cambodian boarder and where he went after that, no one really knows.
What about this guy. Ever heard of Herman Webster Mudgett? Also known as The Devil in the White City. This cat was a scam artist turned serial killer. He offed the dude he worked for, took over the dude’s pharmacy business and used his income to build a hotel for tourists that would be visiting the White City of the famous World’s Fair. This wasn’t just a hotel, but a murder factory. He would keep the tourists locked up for months in some of his secret rooms. Most of his victims were killed via blowtorch devices while they slept. His body count is not known but it’s estimated that over a four year span he wasted 50 people.
The next dude on my list is a French guy by the name of Gilles de Raise. Nickname: The Pious Monster. Now this dude is for real fucked in the head. He would lure young boys (or young girls if he had no other option) to his home where he would molest, torture and kill his victims. He was also known to jerk off over their dying bodies. EWWWW!! His body count his anywhere from 80 - 200. But some think it may be as high as 600.
Here’s another wack-a-do. The Butcher of Rostov. Also known as Andrei Chikatilo. This guy had an orgasm/killing fetish. He would blow his wad while killing his victims. He’d use money and booze to lure female whores. He would try to rape them, but he was unable to get it up. So he would just kill them and blow his wad in his pants. Eww, gross. He was shot by a firing squad on Feb. 14, 1994. Happy Valentines Day!! His body count was around 50.
The last guy I got for ya is one Andrew Cunanan. He only offed 5 people but mostly he’s known for killing Gianni Versace. Unlike most serial killers who hit the streets to find their prey, this dude was all about killing the rich. He was described as articulate, charming, and highly intelligent. He had extreme sexual tastes and sadomachistic inclination. He was also very easy on the eyes. Bad combo and he used it to his advantage. He only killed five people but still he makes the list. He committed suicide before capture in a Miami houseboat.
Well, there it is. A few of the lesser known serial killers. I gotta tell ya, what a trip that was doing the resarch for this thing. I feel I need to go to church and get a hug from my momma. Anyway, be sure and check out Sasha’s stuff it’s sure to be good. Until next time, take care, stay a-scared, and I am out. See ya next week at DEAD END HORROR.

BANG BANG BANG UP YOUR ASS!!
YO-YO-YO AND HELLO!! Zombie Zane here once again coming at ya ass live and very direct from the seven six one oh seven. How the hell are ya? Most likely you’re bored outta ya gord if you’re sitting here reading this. But in any case since you are here let me tell ya what we got going on this week at DEAD END HORROR. This week, Sasha and I are doing the serial killer thing. Not meaning that we’re doing the killing. Just the watching. Wait, Am I fucking up this monologue? Probably. I don’t even know if monologue is the right term. I think the term I’m looking for is introduction. Whatever the fuck. Let me start again. This week Sasha and I are covering the topic of serial killers. There, that sounded better, yes. So we decided to watch the film, "8213 GACY HOUSE." Seeing how John Wayne Gacy was a bad mo fo in the world of serial killers, we decided that this would be a perfect film to go with our whole serial killer thing ya dig. So if you haven’t seen this movie or even if you have, kick on back for a sec and let me tell you what I thought about "8213 GACY HOUSE.."
First off, it’s an Asylum film. SO that should tell you something. Secondly, You can expect a ‘Blair Witch’ or a ‘Paranormal Activity’ kinda deal. Ya know, the over-played new found footage shit. So if those kinda films aren’t your thing, then don’t bother. But please stay and read this review. God that sounded desperate. But stay anyway. PLEEEEASE!!!
"8213 GACY HOUSE" is a 2010 made in the USA horror film by the Asylum. (The Asylum is an American film studio and distributor that produces low budget films usually in the horror genre.) "GACY HOUSE" was released in September 28, 2010. It runs just about 90 minutes and can be found on Netflix.
Basically the plot breaks down like this: A group of paranormal investigators decide to wire and check out the house that was built on the site where the original John Wayne Gacy house stood. The film shows you what happened that night to the investigators as they did their investigations. As I said earlier, it’s one of those lost/found footage film type of deals. So that being said, I was really expecting more from this film. I saw ‘Paranormal Entity’ (also by the Asylum) and really liked it. But this movie really fell short. It was slow, it took forever before the really good shit happened and it just didn’t do that much for me. There were a couple of cool scenes but most of those happened in the last ten minutes of the movie. Sasha and I spent a good deal of the movie debating whose boobs were bigger. Hers or the psychic girl in the movie. I voted Sasha. I’ve seen both so I can judge fairly. Point being, this movie really didn’t hold my attention. I mean none of the killings were ever really shown, they were just rather implied. There were medical reports to read at the end of the film telling you what happened to the investigators. Most died of asphyxiation, except for one poor bastard who died by taking it up the ass by the ghost. That ghost went rumph-rumph-rumph up his ass!! I wonder if the ghost bothered to use KY?
Moving right along. Let me break this down a bit further for you:
BODY COUNT - 7 - A good number but you didn’t see any of the killings...
SEVERINGS - 0 - A big fat nada!
NUDITY NUMBER - 0 out of 5. Nothing here but a few sideways titty shots and a couple of quick glances.
SEX SCENES - 0 - Just a quick scene of some dry humping.
GORE SCORE - 0 out of 5. Not much here either y’all. Very disappointing.
MY SCORE - 1.75 out of 5. BORING!! That’s all I need to say here.
Well, there ya go. My take on "8213 GACY HOUSE." Maybe you’ll watch it, maybe not. But until next time, take care, stay a-scared and I am out!

A killer clown and ghost dingus! by Sasha Slaughter
*Insert witty introduction here*....Now that thats over with, this week on Dead End Zombie Zane and I are talking serial killers!!! dun dun dun. Since our topic is serial killers, we decided *well, Zane decided* that we'd watch 8213: Gacy House and do a movie review, so don't forget to check out his movie review too!
The movie is about six paranormal investigators who decide to go to the former Gacy house and investigate. The original house was demolished on May 3, 1979 and a new one was built on the property three years later. The movie is kind of reminiscent of The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, which ehh kind of made the movie suck a little, but I digress. Anyway, the group sets up all of their equipment and starts filming in various rooms of the house. The psychic *who literally appears out of nowhere* does some sort of seance to provoke the spirit of Gacy and makes an offering of a 15 year old boys soccer t-shirt...WHAT???
A few creepy things happen, they think they see a shadow in one of the bedrooms, some slamming doors and a picture falls of the wall, a swinging lamp...no big deal. After a while they are going over evidence when they come across an EVP of something saying "Kiss my ass", which I thought was laughable, but whatever. The psychic chick says that they need to leave the house right away because the spirit is going to start harming someone, but they stay anyway. The aforementioned psychic chick is using Dowsing rods to find the spirit and ends up getting her ass slammed into a door and what looked like a tooth mark or puncture wound on her chest *which I was totally waiting for some silicone to start seeping out btw*
One of the girls gets long scratches down her back, and she accuses the guy that she dry humped in the bedroom *nope, no sex...just a side boob shot and a dry hump* of scratching her, but the psychic tells her that it looks like scratches from a demon. The girl freaks out and runs outside and locks herself in the van. The girl in the van has a camera and hears someone or something pounding on the outside of it..a few minutes later whatever it was seems to open the van doors and drag her out of the van, thats the end of blondie.
Some more weird stuff happens..shadows, whispers, being touched and grabbed. Everyone starts freaking out and crying and making weird faces and mouth breathing at the camera and wanting to go home, but still they stay and continue investigating. One of the camera guys is messing with some camera equipment in the hallway when a black and white figure appears on one of the cameras, and it kinda looks like it's naked...or partially naked...or maybe wearing just a shirt and underpants..Zane swore he saw dingus...Idk! It runs toward the guy and drags him into a room and slams the door. Thats the end of camera guy.
The psychic chick is doing another senace to keep the evil spirit from following them when she gets attacked and has her shirt ripped off...yes, total boob shot. The black and white figure appears again *clothed this time* and straight up kills *although they don't show it, it's implied* the psychic chick and bug eyed girl, the camera guy escapes and runs into another room and keeps trying to open doors instead of going out the window..duhh!!! The camera guy runs to get Franklin *the old guy* so they can get out, but before they can, the old guy is thrown across the room. The spirit then picks up the little camera boy and tosses him into the air while simultaneously ripping off his pants and dragging him into a room. Yikes! Horny ghost anyone??? The last two try to save the camera boy by using an axe to break the door when the old guy just falls and stops moving. There were some creepy whispers and shadows and the last person tries to escape, but the ghostie gets him.
At the end of the movie were the autopsy reports from the six that were found dead, with the girl in the van still missing and considered to be a suspect in the murders. The causes of death ranged anywhere from cardiac problems, to hyperthermia to aspyhxiation with some massive trauma to the rectal wall...EWWW! Overall, I'd give the movie a 1.5 out of a possible 5. The movie was ok, it didn't start to get remotely good until almost the end. The cast annoyed me, the acting was not that great and a bit over exaggerated at times and the girl with the bug eyes freaked me out. There was barely any blood, unless you count some blood smeared on the psychics fake boob, which I do not...no gore, no actual death scences, death was just sort of implied really. So boo to this snooze fest!! Don't forget to check out Zombie Zanes article and his review of 8213: Gacy House. Check back next week!! =)

Ughh...I really hate Fish!! by Sasha Slaughter
Sasha Slaughter here && this week on the Dead End it's all about serial killers!! I'm not too familiar with them, but as usual, Zombie Zane knows a bit more than I do about it...*anyone else noticing a pattern here??* So I'll be doing an article about Albert Fish. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
Hamilton Howard "Albert" Fish (May 19, 1870- January 16, 1936) was born in Washington, D.C. He was an American serial killer and was often referred to as the Gray Man, the Werewolf of Wysteria, the Brooklyn Vampire, and the Boogeyman. He was a child rapist (mainly little boys) and a cannibal. He claimed to "have had children in every state" possibly referring to rapes and cannibalization. He was suspected to have committed at least five murders in his lifetime, and confessed to police three murders and then confessed to stabbing two others. He was put on trial for the kidnapping and murder of Grace Budd and was convicted and executed by the electric chair.
He spent much of his childhood in an orphanage after his father ( who was 43 years older than Fish's mother) died of a heart attack in 1875. His mother was mentally ill and was not capable of caring for Fish. Mental illness ran rampant in his family. His uncle suffered from religious mania, a brother was confined to a state mental hospital, another brother died of hydrocephalus *an accumulation of fluid in the cranium* and his sister had a "mental affliction". Three of of closest relatvies also suffered from mental illnesses and his mother suffered from frequent aural and/ or visual hallucinations.
While in the Saint Johns orphanage in Washington he and other boys were stripped naked and were beaten and whipped by the teachers. He eventually came to enjoy the physical pain of the beatings and was reported to get erections while be being beaten, making him an easy target for getting teased by the other boys.
In 1880 his mother was able to hold down a steady job and take care of him. In 1882 at the age of 12, he began a relationship with the telegraph boy who introduced Fish to such practices as drinking urine and eating feces. Fish started visiting the public bathrooms to watch other boys undress and would spent a great deal of his weekends there. After that he was also a profilgate and compulsive writer of obscene letters to women.
In 1890 Fish moved to New York City, and was reportedly a male prostitute until his mother arranged a marriage for him in 1898, which he went through with. His wife was 9 years younger than he was. He was said to still be raping young boys throughout his marriage. He and his wife had 6 children together: Albert, Anna, Gertrude, Eugene, John, and Henry Fish.
Fish had recounted an incident where a male love took to him a wax musuem and he became fascinated with a bisection of a penis, and soon after took a morbid interest in castration. During a relationship that he had had with a mentally retarded man, Fish reportedly tried to castrate him, but the mans screams frightened him and he left the man a $10 bill and fled. In 1903 Fish was arrested for embezzlement and was sentenced to his first incarceration at Sing Sing.
In 1910 Fish committed his first attack on a child, Thomas Bedden in Wilmington, Delaware. Later he had stabbed a mentally retarded boy in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. Usually his victims were either mentally retarded or African Americans because Fish believed they would not be missed. At the age of 55 Fish started experiencing delusions and hallucinations that God wanted him to torture and castrate little boys. Doctors believed that Fish suffered from religious pyschosis.
In 1917 Fish's wife left him for the handyman who lived them, leaving him to care for their 6 children alone. The rejection Fish felt caused him to start hearing voices and doing strange things such as wrapping himself up in a carpet and saying he was following the instructions of John the Apostle. It was after that that Fish starting indulging in self harm. He would imbed needles in his own groin and perineum. Normally he'd take them out when he was done, but eventually he would start to embed them so deeply that they were impossible to take out. An X-ray revealed that Fish had at least 29 needles stuck in his pelvis, and he was also said to have himself repeatedly with a nail studded paddle. (Twisted much???)
In 1928 Fish had answered an ad in paper of an 18 year old boy looking for work. He went to the Budd residence to speak with Edward Budd with the intention of hiring him, thats where he first saw little Grace Budd. Fish told the Budds that his name was Frank Howard, a farmer from Farmingdale NY. Fish promised to hire Budd and said he would send for a him a few days later. He failed to do so and sent a telegraph explaining he would be visiting in a few days. He showed up a few days later claiming he had to go to his sisters birthday party, and covinced Delia Flannigan and Albert Budd to let Edwards youngest sister Grace, attend the party also. Grace Budd left with Fish that day and was never seen again.
Fish remarried on February 6, 1930 in Waterloo, New York to Estella Wilcox but got a divorce after only one week. Shortly after, Fish was arrested for sending an obscene letter to a woman who answered his ad for a maid. He was sent to the Bellvue psychiatric hospital for observation in 1930 and 1931 after his arrests.
In November of 1933 an anonymous letter was sent to Graces parents which detailed everything that happened to her before and after she died. The letter would later be traced back to Fish. Fish went into a detailed description of how he killed Grace, by choking her and stripping her naked and cutting her into small pieces so he could cook her and eat her. He also said how sweet and tender her ass was while he ate her, and how it took him 9 days to eat her entire body. He also mentioned that she died a virgin. (go here to read the entire messed up letter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Fish)
The letter was delivered in an envelope with a hexagonal emblem with the letters "N.Y.P.C.B.A." on it that stood for New York Private Chauffeur's Benevolent Association". A janitor at that company said he had taken some of the stationary but left it at his rooming house and moved out and never used it. Fish was the next to live in rooming house that janitor moved out of. William F. King, lead investigator of the Grace Budd murder, was waiting outside of Fish's door when he returned home and asked him to go to headquarters for questioning. Fish agreed to be questioned but then brought out a razor blade, after being disarmed, Fish was taken to be questioned and admitted to the murder of Grace Budd. He said he meant to go to the house to kill Edward Budd, Graces brother. Fish had said it never entered his mind to rape the girl but he admitted to having two involuntary ejaculations, which was used at the trial to make it look like the kidnapping was sexually motivated and to avoid the mention of cannibalism.
Police also discovered Fish was responsible for the disappearance and murder of 4 year old Billy Gaffney, who was kidnapped while playing with a friend outside. Gaffney's mother went to Sing Sing to see Fish to get the details of her sons death. Fish confessed to murdering him. He dessribed beating the boys ass until he bled and also how he cut the boys ears and nose off, and slit his mouth open from ear to ear. He then went on to describe how he stuck a knife in he little boys belly and drank his blood. He told the boys mother how he cut Billy up and only kept the meat that he would later cook and eat. He told her how he prepared and cooked her son, and he went on to tell her that his "monkey" was sweet but his "pee wees" were tough so he threw them in toilet. (What a sick sick man! Yeesh!)
The trial for Albert Fish for the murder of Grace Budd started on March 11, 1935 and lasted 10 days. Fish pleaded insanity, saying that he heard voices from God, telling him to kill children. Several psychiarists testified about Fish's sexual fetishes which included sadism, coprophilia, urophilia, pedophilia, infibulation, and masochism. They also said that Fish was a "pyschiatric phenomenon" and that there were no other records of any one person possessing so many sexual abnormalities. All of the pyschiatrists agreed that Fish was insane. He was cross examined on whether or not he knew right from wrong. It was found that while Fish did know right from wrong, that it was perveted knowledge because it was based on his views of sin, atonement and religion. One of Fish's stepdaughters testified against him claiming that he had taught her and her brothers and sisters a "game" that included overtones of child molestion and masochism.
After the trail ended, Fish was found guilty and was ordered the death sentence. After his sentencing Fish confessed to the murder of 8 year old Fransis X. McDonnell. The boy was assaulted and then strangled with his own suspenders. He arrived at Sing Sing in March of 1935. Before his execution, Fish was said to have helped the executioner place the electrodes on his body. He was also recorded to have said that the execution would be "the supreme thrill of my life". He was executed on January 16, 1936. He entered the chamber at 11:06 and was dead three minutes later.
So thats that for Albert Fish. What a creeper! I was really disturbed and grossed out when I read about him!! Yikes! To steal a line from Zane, it gave me the wiggins just writing about him. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the twisted info I've just bestowed upon you! Don't forget to read up on Zombie Zanes articles, as usual, you'll be glad you did! Don't forget to check back next for new shizzle on the Dead End.

He showed up a few days later claiming he had to go to his sisters birthday party, and covinced Delia Flannigan and Albert Budd to let Edwards youngest sister Grace, attend the party also. Grace Budd left with Fish that day and was never seen again.
Fish remarried on February 6, 1930 in Waterloo, New York to Estella Wilcox but got a divorce after only one week. Shortly after, Fish was arrested for sending an obscene letter to a woman who answered his ad for a maid. He was sent to the Bellvue psychiatric hospital for observation in 1930 and 1931 after his arrests.
In November of 1933 an anonymous letter was sent to Graces parents which detailed everything that happened to her before and after she died. The letter would later be traced back to Fish. Fish went into a detailed description of how he killed Grace, by choking her and stripping her naked and cutting her into small pieces so he could cook her and eat her. He also said how sweet and tender her ass was while he ate her, and how it took him 9 days to eat her entire body. He also mentioned that she died a virgin. (go here to read the entire messed up letter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Fish)
The letter was delivered in an envelope with a hexagonal emblem with the letters "N.Y.P.C.B.A." on it that stood for New York Private Chauffeur's Benevolent Association". A janitor at that company said he had taken some of the stationary but left it at his rooming house and moved out and never used it. Fish was the next to live in rooming house that janitor moved out of. William F. King, lead investigator of the Grace Budd murder, was waiting outside of Fish's door when he returned home and asked him to go to headquarters for questioning. Fish agreed to be questioned but then brought out a razor blade, after being disarmed, Fish was taken to be questioned and admitted to the murder of Grace Budd. He said he meant to go to the house to kill Edward Budd, Graces brother. Fish had said it never entered his mind to rape the girl but he admitted to having two involuntary ejaculations, which was used at the trial to make it look like the kidnapping was sexually motivated and to avoid the mention of cannibalism.
Police also discovered Fish was responsible for the disappearance and murder of 4 year old Billy Gaffney, who was kidnapped while playing with a friend outside. Gaffney's mother went to Sing Sing to see Fish to get the details of her sons death. Fish confessed to murdering him. He dessribed beating the boys ass until he bled and also how he cut the boys ears and nose off, and slit his mouth open from ear to ear. He then went on to describe how he stuck a knife in he little boys belly and drank his blood. He told the boys mother how he cut Billy up and only kept the meat that he would later cook and eat. He told her how he prepared and cooked her son, and he went on to tell her that his "monkey" was sweet but his "pee wees" were tough so he threw them in toilet. (What a sick sick man! Yeesh!)
The trial for Albert Fish for the murder of Grace Budd started on March 11, 1935 and lasted 10 days. Fish pleaded insanity, saying that he heard voices from God, telling him to kill children. Several psychiarists testified about Fish's sexual fetishes which included sadism, coprophilia, urophilia, pedophilia, infibulation, and masochism. They also said that Fish was a "pyschiatric phenomenon" and that there were no other records of any one person possessing so many sexual abnormalities. All of the pyschiatrists agreed that Fish was insane. He was cross examined on whether or not he knew right from wrong. It was found that while Fish did know right from wrong, that it was perveted knowledge because it was based on his views of sin, atonement and religion. One of Fish's stepdaughters testified against him claiming that he had taught her and her brothers and sisters a "game" that included overtones of child molestion and masochism.
After the trail ended, Fish was found guilty and was ordered the death sentence. After his sentencing Fish confessed to the murder of 8 year old Fransis X. McDonnell. The boy was assaulted and then strangled with his own suspenders. He arrived at Sing Sing in March of 1935. Before his execution, Fish was said to have helped the executioner place the electrodes on his body. He was also recorded to have said that the execution would be "the supreme thrill of my life". He was executed on January 16, 1936. He entered the chamber at 11:06 and was dead three minutes later.
