From the publisher
Fruitloops: Serial Killer of Color is a true crime, history, and comedy podcast that delves into the often-overlooked stories of serial killers of color - and, more importantly, their victims. Contrary to common misconceptions, not all serial killers are straight, cis, white men! We take deep dives into the lives and crimes of these killers worldwide, while also examining the history, culture, and social factors that may have influenced their actions.

FRUITLOOPS REVIEWS: Demon House
EBack in November 2024 for Video Club, Wendy, Beth & Minnie reviewed the documentary Demon House - because Sef really, really wanted us to… and we love Sef, so of course we did! The documentary follows paranormal investigator Zak Bagans after he buys a supposedly haunted Indiana home sight unseen, dubbed a “Portal to Hell.” The trio digs into the Ammons family’s story, the film’s presentation, Bagans’ narration, and the bigger cultural implications. They talk trauma, the role of authorities, the lack of solid scientific evidence, and whether the documentary handled such serious themes responsibly. Let’s just say… they had thoughts. 👀 Music “Crystalline” by Yung Kartz https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Yung_Kartz Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License “Baba Yaga” by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/full_list.php Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License “Freedom” by Caslo https://freemusicarchive.org/music/caslo/ Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License “Gotta Get it” & “Torey” by Arulo Mixkit Stock Music Free License https://mixkit.co/free-stock-music/trap/ Connect with us on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fruitloopspod BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/fruitloopspod.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fruitloopspod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Fruitloopspod and https://www.facebook.com/groups/fruitloopspod Learn more about your ad choices.

FL Rewind: The Austin Axe Murderer
EWhile Fruitloops is on break, we’re rewinding to a chilling episode from 2021. Wendy & Beth dive into one of America’s earliest, and most disturbing, unsolved cases: The Austin Axe Murderer. Between December 30, 1884 and December 24, 1885, an unknown killer terrorized Austin, Texas, brutally murdering eight people before disappearing into history. No suspect. No arrest. No answers - just fear, unanswered questions, and a mystery that still lingers more than a century later. Thanks for listening!
