00:02:08
free horror movies and and other things for free that you can watch with ads on the platform as well. I can only imagine
00:02:15
how busy you're going to get come October. I know me sitting on the couch nighttime. I I love all kinds of
00:02:22
different scary movies, new and old. Yeah. Leading up to to Halloween and usually even just a week after. Like it
00:02:30
just just completely kind of takes over my TV viewing, my movie watching. We'll get into the whatnot. You know, you said
00:02:38
whatnot. We'll get into whatnot later because there's a whole lot of whatnot on Scare Network. But, uh, you actually
00:02:43
contacted us because you recently Scare Network put out a documentary on a case that you guys refer to as the West
00:02:52
Morland horror. But, you know, online, if if people want to get a quick little short version of what actually happened,
00:03:00
it's typically referred to as the 2019 Sumar County murders. This was a series of murders, very bizarre case, very
00:03:09
bizarre murders that took place in 2019 down in Sar County, Tennessee. You did some filming for this documentary. I see
00:03:19
that you're listed, credited as a producer here. Where did the filming take place? I'm guessing it took place
00:03:24
right there because that trailer that we're seeing, is that one of the murder scenes? Yeah. So, um, I'm friends with
00:03:32
some paranormal investigators who were profiled in the series. It's actually a three-part series, call it a docu
00:03:37
series, and I did a project with those guys last year in Ohio. And those guys um kept mentioning, they're like, "Hey,
00:03:45
did you hear about the um you know, the 25-year-old guy who just killed eight people pretty much in one fell swoop,
00:03:53
including his parents and tragically a 12-year-old girl." And I had never heard of it. And you know, when it happened in
00:04:01
April of 2019, it made not just national news, I think it made world worldwide news because it was just so horrific
00:04:09
what this guy did. And um so I, you know, back I mean I just shot this back in January, the end of January,
00:04:16
beginning of February, I ended up kind of going there and um doing a lot of research and um not having that many
00:04:24
interviews set up to be honest. So, I really didn't know what I was going to get. So, I just kind of, you know, I I'd
00:04:31
lined an interview up with the district attorney who he ended up not prosecuting
00:04:37
guy because the guy ended up pleading. Um, but they did a lot of pre-trial hearings. So, um, I was able to get
00:04:43
that, you know, get a hold of that footage and include some of that, you know, did a one-on-one interview with
00:04:47
the district attorney who was very gracious and he he kind of told us the real whole story. And uh so along with
00:04:55
his interview um you know just kind of went in the area where
