The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer

No matter the story, the use of an extremely popular series' signature soundtrack is distracting to say the least. Do they have so little confidence in their production they feel the need to attach it to a popular, well done, respected series? Mind blowing and not in a good way. Have some respect for the audience and deliver a production that can stand on its own.

This is a genuinely uncomfortable docuseries - very creepy and unsettling. I think this series does a good job creating an unsettling atmosphere that really shows you how badly homophobia influenced this case despite the overwhelming evidence that something significantly more malevolent was taking place and much more complicated and complex than was initially thought.

If you'd like to see an in-depth series concentrating on a serial killer and his crimes.....keep looking. The actual content dealing with the killer and his crimes is limited. But you'll get great content like clips from low-rent "paranormal researcher" shows that have filmed at the house in question. Because, you know, some people totally talk to ghosts (collective eyeroll). Or if you'd like a lot of information on the people who own the house now, you are in luck. Find out all about the new owner, who happens to be named Robin Graves, because of course you care about that guy, right? Anyway, it isn't good.

I'm unsure why it's three total episodes- there's so many people who only add ridiculous amounts of nothing, adding nothing, frustrating maddening, frivolous excuses, and it goes absolutely nowhere.

I do feel badly for the families with no answers, but this does nothing to get them any closer to answers; they're used only as a means to an end, filling time.

The coroner and his endeavor to put names to remains is admirable, but between law enforcement and the prosecutors who did absolutely nothing close to resembling arresting this monster, despite mountains of evidence, and couldn't even be bothered to watch him, much less gain an arrest warrant to haul him in, allowed this demonstrably horrific criminal to escape to another country and end his own life, on his own terms. The entire county of Hamilton completely dropped the ball and yet, no one was reprimanded, not a single person was held to account.

There's almost an entire episode of what I can only describe as childish scribbling on the wall- the new homeowner seems like quite the insane attention seeker, and brings in psychics, priests, people who can supposedly speak with the deceased, and the whole episode was nothing but fast-forwarding through all of it.

Mark Goodyear was absolutely an accomplice, if not also culpable for the crimes committed. He was in that home numerous times, and somehow law enforcement just let him walk away, despite him being able to just go home.

This is so frustratingly bad, so poorly scripted, so horrendous and hard to watch. Skip it for sure.

This show is an interesting mix of factual information and woo-hoo nonsense. The parts of the program that covered actual factual events, the victims, their families, the killer(s), and the lack of engagement from law enforcement were interesting to any true crime fan. However, the show dips into alleged psychics, bad energy, ghosts, and whoo-hoo nonsense far too often. True crime does not mix well with this kind of nonsense and it throws off the throw of the show to the point I could not finish all the episodes and instead just fast-forwarded through the bull-slingers and their monetized nonsense. This includes the new owner of the property and the weirdos who pretend they are ghost hunting. I recommend you do the same.
