The Halloween season is officially here, and Netflix is all prepared to spook its viewers – not with ghosts, but with real-life horrors that are far more sinister than classic horror stories. Leading its lineup of bone-chilling releases is Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers, a gripping true-crime documentary that dives deep into the twisted psyche of America’s most notorious female serial killer, Aileen Wuornos, infamously dubbed the ‘Damsel of Death’.
Forget haunted houses and supernatural scares; this Halloween, the streaming giant turns the spotlight on the evil that once lurked in plain sight, on the terrifying reality of human darkness. With its latest addition to the true-crime sphere, Netflix explores how a woman’s life of trauma, rage, and survival spiralled into a mind-numbing killing spree.
