Summary

Hosts Amanda Kagawada and Mike Asip explore the chilling parallels between the 1974 horror film *Black Christmas* and the crimes of Daniel LaPlante. They discuss LaPlante’s early “frogging” behavior, where he hid in the walls of the Bowen family’s home, and his subsequent triple murder. The episode examines whether LaPlante was inspired by the film’s “killer in the attic” trope, analyzing how reality may have imitated this seminal slasher movie.
