Marlene Givens swears she saw Clint Dyer’s truck near the milking shed at 3 a.m.—headlights cutting through the fog like a blade. Clint says he was checking cattle, but the cows weren’t on his side of the fence. No forced entry. No alibi. Just a long-standing feud over water rights and a witness who knows that engine rattle by heart. Clint’s close enough to smell the feed. Whether he swung the pitchfork is another matter.

The milking shed smelled of ammonia and iron. Hal Crouse lay face-down in the muck, skull cracked wide open, while the cows screamed like they knew justice wouldn’t come easy in East Texas. No forced entry. Blood spatter wiped clean in one spot. Under Hal’s desk, we found a feed ledger soaked in blood. One entry circled in red ink: “Ray – unpaid $15,000.” Someone wanted us to look at Ray. We’re not convinced.

Drop 1313 wasn’t scheduled—it was summoned. In this Halloween teaser, Unmasking Evil unleashes the “Jingle All the Way to the Morgue” crewneck: a cozy, chaos-coded sweatshirt featuring a split-faced Santa that’s half jolly, half skeletal. The TikTok video sets the tone with glitchy dread and festive menace. It clawed its way out of containment, and it won’t stay long. Watch the drop, feel the breach, and wear the warning.

Harold Finch was found slumped over his garage workbench, throat slashed clean. A six-inch wooden doll, dressed in miniature overalls, mirrored the wound exactly. The next day, Albert Keyes was discovered in his study, wrist lacerated, with another doll—cardigan and glasses—standing upright on the desk. Each scene was staged with obsessive precision. The killer didn’t just leave evidence. They left a performance.
