S11, Chapter 5: Killing Binge

"We've all heard women scream in horror films ... still, we know that no-one is really screaming. Why? Simply because an actress can't produce some sounds that convince us that something vile and heinous is happening. If you ever heard that tape, there is just no possible way that you'd not begin crying and trembling. I doubt you could listen to more than a full sixty seconds of it." Roy Norris, describing his recollections of the audio tape the pair had created of Shirley Ledford's rape and torture. — Support the show: patreon.com/tapesfromthedarkside — Audio Sources: The Toolbox Killer (2021) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15575214/ — Music Credit: 20six Hundred https://20sixhundred.bandcamp.com/ Augusta Treverorum https://linktr.ee/trvrrm — Follow me. https://www.instagram.com/thedarksidepod/ https://www.facebook.com/tapesfromthedarkside/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/tapesfromthedarkside — More links.
