When you turn on a scary movie, you expect to be frightened by what you see on screen. But for these movies, what happened behind the scenes was also the stuff of nightmares.

In July 1999, Paul Howell was murdered in front of his sister and two young daughters during a carjacking. When police tracked the vehicle, it led them to a gang affiliate who pointed a finger at the shooter.

But for decades he proclaimed his innocence and begged for his life. Did the jury convict the right man?  Please consider supporting the companies that support us! -Visit seed.com/CREEPY and use code CREEPY to redeem 20% off your first month of Seed’s Daily Synbiotic -Step into quality, design, and comfort in a pair of Sarah Flint shoes.
