Unmasking the Chilling Tale of The Gainesville Ripper

The chapter delves into the gruesome real-life story of the Gainesville Ripper, Danny Rolling, whose crimes inspired the movie 'Scream'. It critiques a paranormal investigation documentary that focuses on the killer's claim of being possessed by a demon named Gemini, instead of spotlighting the victims and original story.
