Happy Halloween!!
You know whenever there's some coulrophobia to spread, I'm here to provide.
Chris Hanson is the diabolical brainiac behind Diabolical Brainiac Productions. For a little while now, Chris has been churning out these chilling, simply-made YouTube videos about certain unsung "true crime" cases.
They're unsung because -- sorry to spoil the joke -- they're not true. Chris simply takes old home movie footage, spooky music, and he creates a story. The effect can be astonishingly creepy if you don't know what you're looking at. I've already covered one of his earlier tales of murder here. The video above will tell you the horrific story of Danny Finan. The big challenge in waiting for the entire story to be told is making it through the terrifying clown parade that fleshes out the middle of the video.
Chris (no relation to the "have a seat over there" dude of "Dateline" fame -- last name is spelled differently) wrote to me the other day to thank me for the earlier post. He also provided some unnecessary reassurance: "Just to assure you, I am a very sane person who just happens to have a very black sense of humor."
He needn't have worried. I wouldn't enjoy his crazy videos if I wasn't similarly afflicted. [YouTube - The Clown Murders: 1966 TRUE CRIME CASE]
lol. he almost got me!how creative,huh. funny that people ask him to post more videos of such in youtube,they really think it's real.:)
Posted 03/31/2009 at 11:36:18 PMThank you for verifying what I knew to be true after watching just a few of Hanson's videos. Interesting stories but it bothers me that he tries to write them off as "true crimes". No use trying to question him on his you tube page. All comments are screened and none of mine were posted.
Posted 01/03/2010 at 05:03:16 PMThat is by far one of the worst things about youtube and its ilk, how many people make their own fake stories and fan vids that you have to sort through to see anything legit.
Posted 01/03/2010 at 05:39:54 PMI totally agree with Steve. He shouldn't be allowed to pass these off as "true". He's portraying the totally innocent people in these home movies as cold-blooded, depraved killers.
And he should be adult enough to face criticism...
Posted 01/03/2010 at 06:05:48 PMExactly! The only thing that makes these videos entertaining is the perception that they are true. Entertainment by deception is still "lying" in my book. I visited a page of one of the people that commented on his "work" determined to set her straight and noticed that he had left her a message thanking her for her comments...she suggested he do a story on a local crime that she was interested in and he replied saying he would try to contact that family for home videos. Puhleeeease!
Posted 01/03/2010 at 06:31:18 PMOMG it wasn't until the late 1960's that there was color introduced. Wasn't that color that was on you tube?
Posted 01/03/2010 at 07:28:30 PMNo, color film for home movies was available as far back as the 1940s. My grandparents have quite a bit of old 8mm footage from the 1940s featuring a bunch of long dead relatives.
Posted 01/09/2010 at 03:08:33 PMI saw one of his videos that was about a little girl who was murdered by her priest on the day of her First Communion. Just after I watched it, I saw the REAL home movie--it was on a channel that I think was called "ernieshomemovies" and the man, Ernie, who filmed the movies, died sometime during the 90's. His family had made a channel with his old home movies and set music to them. They showed the First Communion video and there was also a video of the daughter (the supposed murder victim in the other version) all grown up with her baby daughter.
