The upcoming September lineup of true crime docuseries from Investigation Discovery has been announced via Deadline this week, with the programming beginning on September 4.
ID’s September lineup includes How (Not) to Get Rid of a Body (September 4), The Real Murders on Elm Street (September 9) and Cabin in the Woods (September 9).
The most attention grabbing title here is of course The Real Murders on Elm Street, though it’s not actually a look at any real life inspirations behind Wes Craven’s classic horror movie. Rather, it plays with the franchise’s “every town has an Elm Street” tagline, exploring the many real-life murders that have taken place on various different Elm Streets across America.
Deadline details…
“How (Not) to Get Rid of a Body explores the lengths killers have taken to get away with murder. Each episode reveals never-before-seen material and recounts tales of criminal masterminds who go to great lengths and efforts to concoct plans to dispose of their victims. However, the country’s top detectives are hellbent on solving these crimes and bringing them to light.”
“The six-part series The Real Murders on Elm Street explores about small suburban towns across America that have been torn apart by murder. It asks how in a single night, these residential streets descend from peace and tranquility into horror, senseless death and tragedy. Each episode will examine a murder investigation that occurred on one of the many Elm Streets across America.”
“Finally, Cabin in the Woods explores crimes that take place in remote cabins around the country. It includes investigative elements in a true crime-meets-true horror fashion.”
