A disturbing true crime documentary, The Scream Murder: A True Teen Horror Story, has been quietly added to Disney Plus, leaving viewers stunned. The three-part series examines the brutal murder of 16-year-old Cassie Stoddart, who was found fatally stabbed in Pocatello, Idaho.
The investigation uncovered a disturbing video recording in which the perpetrators, Brian and Torey, two young men obsessed with the 1996 horror film Scream, expressed their intent to kill. In the trailer, one specialist states: 'These two boys stabbed this girl 30 times and are videoing their glee.'
The series delves into the arrest, trial and conviction of the two teenagers, who were inspired by horror films to create their own gruesome reality. ABC News describes how they selected a classmate, set the scene, and brutally killed her. The documentary also explores the impact on Cassie's family, the reckoning faced by the boys' parents, and the life sentences handed down.
Viewers have reacted strongly on social media, with one calling it 'wild' and another saying it left them 'disgusted'. A warning at the start advises: 'This programme contains material of a disturbing nature. Viewer discretion is advised.'
The Scream Murder: A True Teen Horror Story is now streaming on Disney Plus and Hulu.
