Watch True Nightmares

True Nightmares aired on Investigation Discovery from October to December in 2015. It was hosted by Todd Robbins, a magician and expert on the macabre, who presents three real-life stories of people who have experienced terrifying situations that seem to come straight out of a horror movie. Each episode explores different scenarios, from criminals who seem to have superhuman powers to victims who manage to escape from the most hopeless situations.

The show is divided into three segments, each lasting about ten minutes, and Todd Robbins introduces each segment by outlining the horrifying details of the case. He then brings in actors to dramatize the story, and later interviews experts and relatives of the victims to provide more background information. The show is not your typical true crime documentary, but rather it takes a unique approach to storytelling, focusing on the psychological aspects of the stories, and exploring the twisted human mind.

One of the episodes, for example, features the story of Richard Trenton Chase, a cannibal, and self-proclaimed vampire who committed a series of gruesome murders in the 1970s. The episode follows Chase's descent into madness, detailing his delusions and fantasies that drove him to commit some of the most heinous crimes in recent history.
