Legend Has It: A Halloween Special with "Killer Legends" Filmmaker Joshua Zeman

It’s spooky season, campers, and what’s a better way to celebrate than to dig into some urban legends?

But what happens when the legend comes true? Do some of these stories have roots in real crimes? Well, we’re gonna find out—and who better to help us than Joshua Zeman, award-winning director of our *favorite* true crime documentaries, "Killer Legends" and "Cropsey?"
