Episode 18 Bonus: A Friday the 13th Slasher
Episode description
On October 24, 1988, in Greenfield, MA, 18-year-old Sharon Gregory’s slain body was found by Sharon’s twin sister Cheryl, in the bathtub of their home with multiply gashes to the head, chest and torso. The urban legend of a small-town killer inspired by the horror movies from the Friday the 13th film series, might have played a role in 19-year-old Mark Branch brutally killing Sharon Gregory. Police and the media quickly blamed the tragedy of Sharon’s murder on Branch’s obsession with horror movies as he supposably was wearing a hockey mask like that of Jason Vorhees in the Friday the 13th thriller films while killing Sharon . So, was this a murder committed by someone that was truly mentally unwell or was this a sinister mind playing out a fantasy with his obsession of horror movies?
