Description
What happens when a wannabe filmmaker becomes a little too obsessed with the idea of being a fictional serial killer?
Mark Twitchell wanted to make movies. He wanted attention. And apparently, he wanted to channel a little too much of his inner Dexter Morgan. What started with online deception and a fascination with the macabre eventually turned into a very real murder investigation—and one of the strangest cases to come across the true crime table.
In Episode 5, we’re diving into the story of Mark Twitchell, the man dubbed the “Dexter Killer,” and how his obsession with fiction, fantasy, and playing the villain crossed a line that could never be uncrossed.
We’re talking fake identities, online dating, murder plots, a filmmaker with some seriously questionable ideas, and the moment investigators started realizing this wasn’t just another creepy internet story.
So grab your snacks, pull up a seat, and come hang out with your favorite creepy bestie—because this week, we’re asking the question:
How badly can someone misunderstand the difference between watching Dexter and actually trying to become him?
