Introduction to Jeffrey Dahmer’s Infamous Crimes Jeffrey Dahmer, infamously dubbed the Milwaukee Cannibal, stands as one of the most chilling figures in the annals of American crime. His grotesque spree of murder, necrophilia, and cannibalism that unraveled from the late 1970s through his eventual apprehension in 1991 has etched him into the public consciousness as a symbol of pure evil. Dahmer targeted teen boys and young men, many of whom were vulnerable, not only showcasing the depravity of his actions but also casting a harsh light on the societal and systemic failures that allowed him to operate with impunity for so long.

Crimes at the Dark House is a 1940 British Victorian gothic melodrama starring the aptly named Tod Slaughter, who was one of the first persons, if not the first, to portray Sweeney Todd. It's based loosely on the 1860 novel The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, who was a contemporary and friend of Sir Charles Dickens.

In the world of detective fiction, few characters are as iconic as Sam Spade. Originating from Dashiell Hammett's classic novel "The Maltese Falcon" and immortalized by Humphrey Bogart in the 1941 film adaptation, Spade stands alongside other legendary gumshoes like Philip Marlowe and Mike Hammer. The prospect of a fresh take on Spade, particularly with the involvement of esteemed creators Scott Frank and Tom Fontana, along with the talented Clive Owen as the lead, raised expectations for the AMC miniseries "Monsieur Spade."
