I wasn't familiar with H. H. Holmes or his crimes until I watched a DVD that I obtained from the library earlier today about the case.

The Murder Castle[/URL]

He actually sounds worse then ol' Jack in faraway London who was his contemporary

Oooh, wasn't he something!? GAH! I read the book about him and his deeds, Depraved[/URL], by Harold Schechter. It's a good read if you like true crime!

This is the DVD that I checked out from the library.

H. H. Holmes; America's First Serial Killer[/URL]

What is interesting was his relationship with Marion Hedgepeth who was a frontier outlaw; being interested in characters from the old west I am familiar with him, but was not aware of his friendship with H. H. Holmes.

Ooh, a DVD! Cool. I'd love to see it. I considered buying it, but was disapointed that it doesn't seem to actually be a movie about H. H. Holmes, plus, it's only 64 minutes long. I may still rent or buy it used though.

Do you know of any other DVDs out there that are actually a movie about his story? (You know, the 2 hour type. )

Okay, thanks! =)
