The 20 Best True Crime Documentaries Ever Made HBO By Eric Langberg/July 6, 2022 12:29 pm EST There’s never been a better time to be a fan of true crime. It seems like every week, some streamer releases a buzzy new show, one algorithmically engineered to get you texting your friends, “Have you seen Episode 4!?” The genre has been around as long as people have been telling each other stories, grasping for respectability as it moved from disposable penny dreadfuls to pulp 1950s magazines like “True Detective” to critically-acclaimed reported works like “In Cold Blood” (and less-acclaimed paperbacks you might find in the racks at a drugstore), and finally to TV, film, and in the 2010s, podcasts....

A non-incident Universal Pictures It seemed that Universal was looking for any way they could to bolster publicity for “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” because they were a little too eager to publish a story from the set. “Creature” filmed its on-land scenes at the Universal backlot in southern California.

The Season Of Dexter With The Highest Body Count Showtime By Anya Stanley/July 30, 2022 11:00 pm EST Oh, Dexter. That lovable scamp. The Showtime crime drama series that housed the disturbed forensic analyst (played by Michael C. Hall) racked up a sky-high body count over its eight-season run, and even more in its 2021 limited revival series “Dexter: New Blood.” Though the first season of the “Dexter” series was based on Jeff Lindsay’s “Darkly Dreaming Dexter” novels, the protagonist — a blood spatter technician with the Miami Metro Police Department, moonlighting as a vigilante killer — goes beyond the works of his creator, tallying over 140 kills from 2006-2013....
