About this listen

This week on Terror Talk – Killer Minds and Creepy Stuff, Shannon and Cathy dig into the real and fictional female psychopaths who defined the 1990s.

From Aileen Wuornos and Karla Homolka to Pamela Smart and Susan Smith, we explore the psychology behind manipulation, obsession, and media fascination. Then we head to Hollywood for the dangerous allure of Catherine Tramell (Basic Instinct), Annie Wilkes (Misery), and Hedy from Single White Female — women who made fear sexy, smart, and deeply unsettling.

We analyze how the decade turned “the femme fatale” into both a horror icon and a cultural warning — blending criminal psychology, gender dynamics, and pop culture history with our usual mix of insight and dark humor.
