Between 1976 and 1977, “The .44 caliber Killer” as he was known in the press, murdered six people and injured seven more in shootings across the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. He targeted young women and young couples, including, most famously, couples parked in cars at night and left cryptic messages, taunting the police and calling himself the “Son of Sam”.

23 years later, Director Spike Lee produced the crime thriller “Summer of Sam”, chronicaling the effects of a group of residents in New York, living through the killer’s reign of terror.

On this episode we’ll take a look at the 1999 film, ‘Summer of Sam’’ directed by Spike Lee, starring John Leguizamo, Adrien Brody, and Mira Sorvino as well as the year-long murder spree and bizare investigation that inspired it.

Sex, drugs, disco, a record-setting heat wave, 24 hour blackout, and a city terrorized by a gun toting serial killer who claimed to take orders from his neighbor’s dog.

This is the story of the notorious serial killer David Berkowitz, known as the Son of Sam, and the Spike Lee joint he inspired.

On October 26, 1881 four armed men clad in black walked down the dusty main street of the silver mining town Tomstone, AZ.

Little did they know their actions that day would be remembered as one of the most notorious moments in the history of the Wild West.

On this episode of REEL CRIMES we’ll take a look at the iconic western, TOMBSTONE, starring Kurt Russel, Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, and Val Kilmner and the too-wild-to-believe true events that it is based on.

Put on your boots, strap on your six-shooters, and dust off your saddle, as we cut through the bullshit and find out the truth behind the Wild West’s most infamous blood feuds.
