🎧 Season 4, Episode 2: Steel, Spirits, and a Killer in Costume

In this week’s chilling double feature, we’re diving into one of the most haunted industrial sites in America — and a murder so bizarre, it could’ve been pulled straight from a horror flick.

👻 First, we crank up the heat at Birmingham’s infamous Sloss Furnaces, where the echoes of molten steel and human suffering still linger. From horrifying accidents to the legend of “Slag,” this haunted hotspot is a terrifying reminder of what’s been left behind in the smoke and iron.

🎭 Then we head to Florida for the case that sounds like a bad joke — but turned deadly fast. In 1990, a woman answered her front door to find a clown holding balloons and flowers… and was fatally shot. The Florida Clown Murder remains one of the most bizarre and jaw-dropping cold cases in true crime history.

You’ll laugh. You’ll scream. You’ll side-eye every clown you see for the rest of your life.

🔪 True crime. Haunted history. Bad jokes. That’s just how we do it here at Humor, Haunts, and Homicide.

👉 New episodes drop every Wednesday.

🎙️ Next week: We head to Pennsylvania for the deeply unsettling Smurl Family Hauntings, followed by the disturbing and unsolved death of Cindy James — a woman stalked by either a killer… or her own unraveling mind.

We’re kicking off Season 4 of Humor, Haunts, and Homicide with a double dose of Hollywood tragedy and Texas horror — and trust us, it’s a wild ride.

First up: Brittany Murphy. Beloved actress, rising star, and gone way too soon. Her shocking death in 2009 left fans reeling , but the mystery only deepened when her husband died just five months later… in the same house. Was it toxic mold? A hidden illness? Or something much darker? We dig into the rumors, the strange behavior, and the haunted energy surrounding Brittany’s final days.

Then we head to 1965 Houston for the gruesome and still-unsolved Ice Box Murders. An elderly couple brutally murdered, their dismembered bodies stuffed in a refrigerator, and a prime suspect who vanished without a trace. The case is chilling — literally — and it might just be the origin story of one of America’s most elusive fugitives.

From celebrity scandal to old-school true crime, we’ve got the hauntings, the horror, and just enough humor to keep your spine tingling.
