In 1931 a woman and her three children left their home in Chicago, en route to a new life with a man who promised a home, affection and security. Three weeks later they were found dead - buried in a ditch in a small West Virginia Town . . . and they were not alone.
This is a story that transfixed an entire nation for months; a story that came to be imortalized in a classic Hollywood film (Night of the Hunter, starring Robert Mitchum); and even as it has faded into obscurity, its effect echoes even still - every time the news media latches on to a serial killer in an attempt to make a profit from scaring the living hell out of you.
The newspapers screamed, "ROMEO MUST HANG!" Rest assured, he did.
His name was Harry Powers.

About Me

- After 7 years of holding a stop sign and shoveling asphalt I decided it was time to go back to college. I set off to become a gym teacher where I could get a job playing basketball all day long. One problem . . . I took a film appreciation class. I was hooked, I was taken back to a simpler time when I worked @ a video store and watched movies all day long while earning minimum wage. Life was good! I could watch all of the Samurai movies I could handle while answering the occasional, Where do you keep the new releases? Question. So after 3 and ½ years of college I got a job at West Virginia Public Television to tighten up the skills, bought my own camera and off I went.
