5 Scariest Unsolved Mysteries Segments as Voted By Fans!

Published

Written by Patti Pauley

If you try and tell me that the original Unsolved Mysteries program hosted by Sir Robert of Stack isn’t one of the goddamn creepiest shows ever aired on prime time TV, then you’re so wrong. You just sit there in your world of wrongness and get used to living in Wrong Town U.S.A.

OK, maybe that was a bit selfish and a tad bitchy on my part, but I can’t reiterate enough here on iHorror how much this show scared the living craps out of me as a kid, and even now as an adult with the episodes FINALLY streaming on Amazon Prime, that the creepiness factor still manages to hold up; as I pull the covers just a little over my head in the midst of a late night viewing with the anxieties that escaped murderers could be hiding in the bushes of my back yard…

Now that I’ve humiliated myself and made myself vulnerable to three million readers, let’s get down to brass tacks here. Even if you don’t think Unsolved Mysteries is the scariest form of TV from then to now, you can’t deny the heightened creep factor in the form of true horrific tales of murder, the paranormal, Stack’s creep-tastic voiceovers, and of course, that damn theme song. A good portion of the stories contained in the hour long show certainly stuck with fans of the show, and yours truly included that actually appears in the top five here. Per the Official Unsolved Mysteries Facebook page, fans were asked what segment from the program was the scariest? Voters were given an array of choices to select from, and the results are now in Stack-Heads!

The top five scariest segments that raised that creep bar higher than the rest are as follows:

  • 5. Halloween Party Death- The mysteries death of teenager Kurt Sova that may, that may or may not have involved witchcraft- This was the one that stuck with me for years, and have never forgotten.

  • 4. Scared to Death- The horrific events that led up to the death of Canadian nurse, Cindy James.

  • 3. Friends to the End- The unexplained death of two teenage boys found lifeless on train tracks.

  • 2. Unkown Arsonist- That creepy as fuck videographer that claimed responsibility for a Stockton fire while filming it, hailing Satan.

  • 1. Dial A for Abduction- Angela Hammond, who was abducted from a phone booth while speaking to her fiance.

Do you agree with the top five? Or is there another segment from the series that you think should be included? Comment below, and make sure to check out the original Robert Stack streaming episodes on Amazon Prime. As of now, season one through four are available with the fifth season dropping presumably very soon!

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
