13 O’Clock Movie Retrospective: Jack the Ripper (1976)

3 Jun 2022 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Tom and Jenny discuss the 1976 Eurosleaze film directed by Jess Franco, which stars Klaus Kinski and has pretty much nothing whatsoever to do with the actual Jack the Ripper murders, but instead seems to be a Victorian-era riff on Franco’s own 1962 movie The Awful Dr. Orloff.

13 O’Clock Episode 257 LIVE: Jack the Ripper

17 Jul 2021 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

On this blood-drenched installment, Tom and Jenny are finally getting around to discussing the OG of unidentified serial killers, the mysterious madman known as Jack the Ripper. In 1888, amid the crushing poverty of the East End in London, a shadowy figure stalked prostitutes, slaughtering and mutilating at least five of them over a relatively brief period. The murderer was never caught, and over the ensuing century, countless theories about the identity of the killer have swirled around, some of them more fanciful than others. So join 13 O’Clock on a journey through the dim, cobblestone streets of Victorian London as we break down the horrific crimes and the numerous suspects that have come to light in the years since, on a grisly episode 257.

13 O’Clock Episode 165 – Murder, 19th Century Style

15 Oct 2019 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

On ye olde 13 O’Clock Podcast this week, Tom and Jenny travel back to the dark days of cobblestone streets and flickering gas lamps to talk about some largely forgotten, horrific crimes from the 19th century. First we’ll discuss the case of the Thames Torso Murders, a grisly series of killings in London that began before the Ripper Murders and even continued a bit after them; then we’ll focus our attention on Austin, Texas, where in 1884 and 1885 the so-called “Servant Girl Annihilator” was axing people to death in their beds; and lastly, we’ll delve into the obscure entwined cases of the Denver Strangler, believed to have killed at least three women, and Alfred Knapp, executed for one of the tangential crimes that is sometimes linked to the Strangler. Put on your deerstalker hat and pop in your monocle, because we’re traipsing through some old timey crime on episode 165.

13 O’Clock Episode 92 – Spring-Heeled Jack, Mad Gasser, and Devil’s Footprints

22 May 2018 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Victorian London is terrorized by a diabolical, high-jumping figure with metal claws and eyes of flame. A town in Illinois falls prey to a phantom gasser in the mid-1940s. And an estuary in Devon, England plays host to a very long and mysterious trail of hoofprints that might have been left by Satan himself. On this fun, folkloric episode, Tom and Jenny are discussing three weird cases of possibly paranormal origin: the legend of Spring-Heeled Jack, the Mad Gasser of Mattoon, and the Devil’s Footprints. In our news segment, we’re also giving an update on our old pal the Angry Gay Pope, whose anti-Scientology channel has been the subject of a YouTube ban, and we’re discussing the recent death of renowned parapsychologist Guy Lyon Playfair, famous for his extensive work on the Enfield Poltergeist case. Settle in for a creepy rundown of urban legends, mass hysteria, and more on episode 92.

13 O’Clock Episode 64 – H.H. Holmes: America’s O.G. Serial Killer

7 Nov 2017 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

You think Jack the Ripper was bad? Well, America had its very own serial killer that was a contemporary of ol’ Jack’s, and in true American fashion, this dude evidently took the whole multiple murder thing and ramped it up to eleven. Dr. H.H. Holmes was not only a bigamist and a shameless con-man, but he also took killing people to a WHOLE other level, according to the stories about him. No one knows exactly how many people Holmes murdered or how much of his story is exaggerated, but according to legend, the three-story building he constructed in Chicago, later known as the Murder Castle, apparently had lots of horrifying modifications like airtight rooms with poison gas valves, a greased chute for quickly sending bodies down to the bowels of the house, and what amounted to a medieval torture chamber in the basement. But how much of this story is true, and how much is tall tale? Check in to the horror hotel with Tom and Jenny, and listen to the unbelievable tale of Victorian madness and mayhem that comprises episode 64.

13 O’Clock Episode 40 – The Atlanta Ripper: America’s Forgotten Serial Killer

23 May 2017 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

The Atlanta Ripper is perhaps one of America’s most brutal and prolific serial killers, but also one of its most forgotten, and there is even some controversy over whether he existed at all. Starting around 1909, a series of murders of black and mixed-race women in Atlanta, Georgia suggested that a mysterious murderer was prowling the streets, slashing women’s throats and sending the entire community into a panic. On this episode, Tom and Jenny discuss this tragically unsolved case, delving into the murders themselves as well as the controversies surrounding the killings at the time. America, it seems, had its very own Jack the Ripper, and whoever he was, he’s the subject of our 40th episode.

13 O’Clock Episode 30 – British Serial Killers Peter Sutcliffe and Dennis Nilsen

14 Mar 2017 / Jenny Ashford / Leave a comment

Well, we WERE gonna go with something more cheerful this episode, since we did creepy necrophiliacs on last week’s show, but NO, we had to go and sort of accidentally do another episode about serial killers (one of whom also happens to be a necrophile, for added fun). Sorry.

On episode 30 of 13 O’Clock, Tom and Jenny cross the pond to discuss infamous British serial killers Peter Sutcliffe (aka The Yorkshire Ripper) and Dennis Nilsen (aka The Kindly Killer). Join us for yet another twisted, rambling, factually dubious gabfest about the worst humanity has to offer, like dudes beating women to death with ball peen hammers and other dudes happily boiling heads in cooking pots and flushing pieces of people down toilets. Yay.

After the show is over, you might want to go hug a puppy or something. Just saying.
