Evil Up Close is a true-crime TV series that revolves around some of the most heinous and shocking criminal cases in the world. The show delves into the lives and crimes of some of the most monstrous killers of our time.

The show also offers exclusive access to the detectives, prosecutors, and family members who were involved in the case, shedding light on the emotional impact these crimes had on the community.

What sets Evil Up Close apart from other true-crime shows is its in-depth exploration of the psyche of the killers. Viewers get a glimpse into the twisted minds of the perpetrators, as forensic psychologists, criminologists, and other experts analyze the motives and methods behind their crimes.

The show also features interviews with the survivors and families of the victims, who share their harrowing experiences and their journey towards healing and justice. The personal accounts of the victims' loved ones add an emotional weight to the show, making it not just a true-crime documentary but also a tribute to those who were taken too soon.

The show provides a close look at Bundy's modus operandi, as well as his many escapes from prison and charges of multiple murders.

Another episode focuses on the case of the "Houston Mass Murders," in which Dean Corll, a known child molester and torturer, abducted, raped, and killed over 20 teenage boys in the Houston area during the early 1970s. The episode examines the investigation that led to Corll's capture and the shocking revelations about his accomplices, who were also high-school students at the time.

Evil Up Close is a chilling and thought-provoking series that explores the darkest aspects of human behavior.
