Let's not forget Unsolved Mysteries! The original seasons came out on Prime Video a few years ago, and my kids became obsessed and terrified. Body parts in suitcases, ufos, headless phantoms, kidnappers, and arsonists. The good 'ol days.

I still walk with a key between my fingers when I’m alone! My wife and I used to tell our kids not to get in the “Free Puppies” van. To be fair, she did have a friend who was kidnapped and murdered when she was 15 (but not in a van).

Love this. I actually started a piece a couple of years ago based on the idea that the 80s weren't as great as we remember. Memory allows us to freely romanticize the past but it's not necessary accurate. I like to think otherwise because it's my favorite decade of childhood, but the 80s were sloppy, cheap, and violent.

"Sloppy, cheap, and violent" -- I like that. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment!

I love the way you write! Subscribed.

Serial killers fascinate me. We have had a few in South Africa over the years but none as prolific as yours!
