Summary

A Halloween Special: Serial Killers Who Inspire Horror Films - The Life And Crimes Of Edmund Kemper, III

**WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC DETAILS INVOLVING SEXUAL VIOLENCE, HOMICIDAL VIOLENCE AND ANIMAL CRUELTY. LISTENER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED**

Is a serial killer born that way or does he get made that way? For Edmund Kemper, it could quite have possibly been the later. Edmund had mom issues of epic proportions, to a point that some would attribute his horrifying acts as having been directly a result of the way his mother berated and humiliated him his entire life. Edmund's hatred for his mother spilled over into a hatred towards women that sent him on a mission to kill as many as he could - until he finally eliminated the one woman in the world he hated the most. Only then would Edmund feel everything was finally right with the world.

0:00.0	Before we get started, I must provide you with this warning.
0:06.2	This episode contains extremely graphic details that are a bit of a departure from the typical
0:12.5	California Dreaming episode.
0:14.3	It's the spookiest time of the year, and I'm not really a horror movie fan, however,
0:21.7	I am interested in and intrigued by the real life people who have inspired some of
0:28.4	them, at least the psychological ones anyway.
0:34.0	So in honor of Halloween 2022, and all of the things that keep us up at night, this

1:56.1	Big sky and country?
1:58.4	Yeah, Edmund wasn't having it.
2:03.1	The Montana was the least of Edmund's problems he would come to find.
2:08.6	If he thought he was having a hard time getting along with his mom, it was even worse now
2:14.2	that his dad was hundreds of miles away in California still.
