We all have a story from our youth that terrified us. One that terrifies and grips our minds in such a way that we develop a deep and abiding morality that can trace its roots to that campfire, or movie, or night that our father sat us down to tell us about the Hookman.
That last one was my story. The story of my father telling me the gory story of a murderer with a hook for a hand. And today, I am a happy, well-adjusted horror writer and high school teacher.
Who still loves scary stories. This first episode of Urban Legends Unmasked tells the well-known story of the Hookman, but looks at the impact the story has had on our collective morality as a society. And me as an individual.
Share your favorite urban legends or local stories and future episodes might dive into the deep dark secrets of your home town!
