The Sulphuric Secrets Episode 10: The Unholy Wood
Manage episode 300540614 series 2973197
We return to Los Angeles in the late 1940s - a period of time that's remembered as a conservative, restrictive era of parochial values. But - in Jack Parsons' world of sex, rockets and the occult, he brings Madame Lumen into a personal world that relives the glory days of The Golden Age of Hollywood, and lays the groundwork for the cultural revolution of the 1960s.
But, with light, there is the dark - and at the same time, a horrific crime takes place that shook Los Angeles to its core. In mixing fact and fiction, Episode 10 will explain how significant one of the darkest and most upsetting events in true crime history fits into the wider Sulphuric Secrets narrative - that crime being, The Black Dahlia.
