It was the 60s. Underground filmmaker and occultist Kenneth Anger had a big thing for Aleister Crowley, and a temporary muse in Bobby Beausoleil, a young musician whom he wanted to play Lucifer. The movie didn't get finished until 20 years later, and by that time  Bobby was serving life for the opening murder in a series of crimes that would shock the country and serve as the death knell for the peace and love era. Crazy story.

Here's the conclusion to the Randy Kraft saga. He did terrible things to a horrifyingly large number of young men, and it's a lot of sadness and depravity. And then he tried to pass off his scorecard as party planning. He's the worst.

For more than a decade, freeway killer Randy Kraft preyed on young men and teenage boys across California, Oregon and Michigan, leaving many of their bodies along highways. He was mostly known, however, for his "scorecard". It was a cryptic list of 61 entries investigators came to believe was a victims list. If you've surmised that Randy was the worst, you are absolutely right.

More goings-on in Anne Rice-ville. Lestat doesn't take abandonment well. Gabriella climbed up the food chain real quick. Has Armand's thing this whole time been that he's got a fetish for being clowned on? Lestat has some competition in the "Best Withering Vampire Putdown" category in Daniel Molloy. Louis is making bad choices again.

Anthony Adams and Douglas Coleman were two gay men murdered in separate, unsolved crimes in Salt Lake City in November 1978 — the same month Harvey Milk was assassinated. Basically, the universe turned to gay dudes and said "this isn't your month, babe."

Deep in the Georgia woods, a devil-worshipping (don't be judgey, now) gay couple built a kinky Satanic sex palace and lived off the land. They made their own wine, threw fabulous dinner parties and certain guests experienced the infamous pink room over the chicken coop.  Then they made the mistake of befriending a troubled young man who decided they had money to steal. The name of their home? Corpsewood Manor. Tragically fitting.

Ed Koch was the semi-beloved mayor of New York City from 1977 to 1989. I say semi-beloved because NYC's gay community didn't appreciate how he, as a closeted gay man, was doing the bare minimum when it came to the AIDS pandemic.

Pier Paolo Pasolini was a poet, novelist, filmmaker, and one of Italy's most celebrated (and most controversial) figures. He was murdered by a teenage hustler in 1975. Or was he? Well, the murder part happened, but was it committed by the Freemasons? The Catholic Church? The Mafia? The Italian government? Pasolini had a lot of anti-fans. Let's find out.

Father Frank was loved by his congregation, and known for his generosity and supportive nature. But he had his secrets. 

One of them, his increasingly uneasy relationship with an odd, makeshift "family" in his congregation, might have gotten him killed.

AAAAARRRRSSHRIRIEKKFK - try to yell that loudly over a chainsaw in use and microphone feedback. That's basically what black metal sounds like. It was big in Norway in the 90s. What was also big then was black metal musicians and their fans burning down churches and murdering people. Happy Halloween!

It's Wicked Gay's 50th episode! A little bit of this episode is about a demonic hairdresser who was doing evil things with damaged condoms and is now moldering in jail where he should be. But there's also a cautionary tale from yours truly about why you need to be careful on dating apps. Listen well, children.

Ernst Rohm was one of Hitler's besties and had a hand in the creation of the Third Reich. He was also gay. I can't reconcile the two either, but I was raised to believe that all gay people are pious do-gooders. Therefore, a gay Nazi is just insane to me. (Some of that is sarcasm.)
