Do you like scary movies?
Scream may be one of the most successful horror movie franchises of all time, but the real fright lies in its terrifyingly true roots - the horrific story of serial killer Danny Rolling, aka The Gainesville Ripper.
Now, just in time for the release of the newest Scream movie, Scream: The True Story - the latest installment in the Shock Docs series - delves into the real-life horror of a murderer who believed he was a possessed by a demon and whose gruesome crime spree inspired the blockbuster film.
The docu-special - through a groundbreaking paranormal investigation, archival media and expert interviews - takes a closer look at the alleged diabolical forces involved and whether Rolling's spirit still lurks in the shadows.
Beginning in 1989, Danny Rolling stalked and murdered eight victims in Shreveport, Louisiana, and Gainesville, Florida, including five college students.
Rolling claimed he was possessed by a demon named "Gemini" when he committed his crimes; he was eventually convicted and executed in 2006.
Now, paranormal investigator Steve Shippy and "psychic medium" Cindy Kaza join forces to uncover the truth behind Rolling's claims that a demon made him kill.
Shippy and Kaza are the first to ever conduct a paranormal investigation at the campsite near the University of Florida campus from which Rolling stalked his victims, as well as inside his childhood home in Louisiana, where aggressive poltergeist activity plagues the current homeowners.
Interviews with experts and those connected to the case, including Rolling's ex-fiancée, reveal that evil has run in his family for generations.
Shippy and Kaza are confronted by powerful malevolent energy during their intense investigation - could it be the demonic force that possessed Rolling, or is it the spirit of Rolling himself?
Fearing for everyone's safety, they call in a demonologist to conduct an exorcism and help battle off the evil forces.
