(creepy opera music)

(gentle piano music)

- [Ella] Kevin.

Kevin!

- Yeah?

- What are you doing?

- I've been doing some research,

hear me out here.

See this is what I think,

see how you can see the

Empire State building there?

Do you notice how you can

see all of those buildings

all the way in the distance?

You know up Madison

Avenue there?

- Yeah?

- Okay, well I feel

like since I can see all

of those buildings, not just

the Empire State building,

but like literally all of them

all the way in the distance

from the sidewalk up,

there's only one

conclusion I can make.

- And that would be?

- That the earth is flat.

- Oh Jesus!

- I'm serious I mean there

should be some sort of curvature

there, some drop-off.

It only makes sense,

scientifically and...

- Zip it.

Kevin, I don't care

what you think,

where the Madison

Avenue has a curve,

the buildings go sideways,

flat, forwards, whatever,

the earth is round,

it's always been round.

Check your information.

- Okay wait, look way down

there in the distance,

the Freedom Tower, the former

site of the Twin Towers.

Anyways, scientists have

confirmed that no matter

where the sun was in

the sky during the day,

the towers would never cast

a shadow on each other,

it was just magical.

- You know what?

Before you open up your mouth,

make sure you confirm

with me the topic

of your conversation, okay?

- I just...

- It's not negotiable.

Can we get outta here?

And can we also find somebody

else to hang out with?

Kevin is a complete basket-case,

I mean don't you know

any like really cool hot

soho guys who would crash

a party or something?

- Yeah, I'll get right on

that, find hot gay guys.

- Are you listening to me

or are you just whisking

me away with your words?

- Both.

- What are you doing?

- What?

- What are you doing?

- What are you reading?

- This is an encyclopedia

of the serial killers

of New York State.

- Oh God, what did I

do to deserve this?

I'm hanging out with a reject

and the walking dead over here.

- If I had any respect for you,

I would take offense

to that, skank.

- Skank? Skank?

I'm not the one whose mom

named me Tiffani with an "I",

I mean shouldn't you

be stripping somewhere

in maybe some

black lingerie or...

- Ella, drop it.

You're just lonely and horny.

Why don't you go hook up

with Kevin over there?

You're both recently single.

- Ewww, Kevin?

All right.

All right Kevin boy,

here we are.

It looks like you two

with me this weekend,

and I'll tell you what

we're not gonna do,

we're not gonna dick

around here anymore,

so why don't you try to keep up.

(eerie piano music)

(train bustling)

(traffic)

- Let's just get outta here.

- Let's just get outta where?

- The city, just

for a couple days.

- Yes! And go where?

- Upstate.

My friend gave me this

good connect for an.

I-stay bed and breakfast

house in Swamp Hollow.

- Swamp Hollow?

No f***ing way, that town

keeps popping up in this book

all the time.

That place is ripe with

murders and murderers.

- Oh great choice, Kevin.

- I mean, I didn't

know about all that,

just thought it would be

fun for the three of us.

- I think it's a fun

idea buddy 'ol pal.

I can't think of a

better idea myself.

We'll go upstate for a few days,

explore all the sites of the

famous murders and murderers,

it'll be a blast.

- (laughs) You make

it sound so relaxing.

- Come on, don't puss out on us.

- All right guys, the one

thing I don't do is puss out.

Fine, let's do it.

- Okay great.

Just hold on a second

and let me call my friend

and set this up.

I'm excited!

- Listen, I'm all up for

going to the country,

and maybe possibly seeing

some really cute country boys.

But, do we have to take Kevin?

He's such a dweeb.

- All guys are

gross most the time.

- Yeah I know but...

- [Tiffani] But, he

is cute sometimes,

when he's not being annoying,

which is hardly ever.

- Hardly.

- But, it does seem like

he has a house connect

and if we don't offer him money,

he'll probably be too

chicken sh*t to ask for it.

- [Ella] Free ride?

- You bet your ass free ride.

- All right, but if

he ruins things man,

we may as well just get our

own ticket and go our own way,

seriously.

- Okay, we all good,

we got the place.

Check-in is tonight.

- Perfect, let's try

to make the train.

I had to start working

on the itinerary.

So many murder sites

to see, so little time.

(traffic bustling)

- [Train Attendant]

Ladies and gentlemen,

if you are not exiting

at the next station

please move away from the doors

and allow exiting customers

to leave the train quickly.

Thank you for your cooperation.

- [Ella] Would you put that

thing down for a second?

- [Tiffani] Butcher Bill is

one of the most notorious

of serial killers in the

greater New York region

with a body count

totaling over 35

that the authorities know of.

It's not that he

killed that many

but the way in which he did so.

Most of Bills victims were

missing men and women.

Runaways, hookers, you name it.

He would snatch 'em

up off the street

then transport them

to his barn compound

where he proceeded

to torture and kill

with various pieces

of farm equipment,

even parts of one victim

were found inside freshly

made bales of hay.

- Hookers in the hay?

And you call me a freak.

Now that guy sounds

like a super freak,

he's super freaky.

- Okay, you two are a

different level of freak,

and by the way, one is not

better than the other, trust me.

- There are like three

different murder sites alone

right in the neighborhood

were we'll be staying,

including our friend

Butcher Bill's barn.

We're definitely checking

out all three sites

and taking selfies to document.

- Oh my God, what have

I gotten myself into?

A weekend of this sh*t?

- Did someone say selfie?

Selfie time, yes.

(camera clicks)

Our chariot awaits.

- Oh my God,

- you have got to be...

- be shitting me.

- Howdy city folk,

how was the ride up?

- In retrospect, luxurious.

- Well, she may not

be much to look at,

but old Betsy here will

get us where we need to go.

(trunk slams shut)

(deep, dark, eerie music)

- What brings y'all all

the way up to these parts

I mean, why would you come here?

- Well for one, we're bored

out of our f***ing minds,

but from the looks of this,

I honestly don't think this

was the brightest idea.

- Actually, what my friend
