A young lothario who was flayed alive for his illicit intentions. Two predators that stalked Lover’s Lanes in the early 20th century. A vicious serial killer who hunted the South’s lonely highways for more than a decade.

A collection of terrifying tales from the Gothic South with a single thread running through: the vicious killers who stalk the innocent youth on Lover’s Lane.

In this episode:

• The 20th century urban legends of the Dead Boyfriend, the Killer with a Hooked Hand, and Skinned Tom
• The Petting Party Bandit that terrorized Memphis, Tennessee, in the 1920s
• The Atlanta Lover’s Lane Killer that killed three and wounded three others in the 1970s
• The Colonial Parkway Killer that hunted along Virginia’s rural highways in 1980s and 1990s, although a dead man may be guilty of the more than dozen murders
