Brian Jones was a founding member and the original genius behind the Rolling Stones. He spent the mid-1960s on top of the pop world, playing music, making money and meeting lots of women. But despite everything, he couldn't get no satisfaction. By 1969, Jones would be kicked out of the group he helped create, his girlfriend would dump him for his bandmate, and he would be found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool under dodgy circumstances. He was 27 years old, which makes him a founding member of not just the Stones, but the 27 club, too!

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Halloween Spooktacular! Last year, you heard the gruesome tale of Ed Gein, the Plainfield Ghoul. He made lampshades out of human skin and hung his victims up like deer. If you thought that was shocking, then wait till you get a load of this year's creeps.

We're going to back to Wisconsin for, not one, but two horrifyingly true stories. First up is Gerald Turner, The Halloween Killer (who's unfortunately from co-host Alejandro's hometown of Fond du Lac). His crime was so heinous that it changed trick-or-treating forever.

River Phoenix survived a turbulent childhood to become one of the greatest young actors of the 1980s. He shined in movies like Stand By Me, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Running on Empty (for which he received an Oscar nomination).

By 1990, he was starring in more adult-oriented arthouse flicks like My Own Private Idaho, where he took method acting to a new level -- and received critical acclaim.  Underneath his public image, however, was something darker. Pressure and fame got to him. Drugs became his friend. And they would be his undoing.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Steve Irwin became an international phenomenon with his immensely popular TV show "The Crocodile Hunter," which showcased the wild Australian Outback where he grew up. The show also introduced the world to his signature and much-imitated catchphrase "Crikey," cementing his place in Pop Culture.  

Irwin's red hot career was not without its missteps, however. In 2004, he seemingly dangled his baby over a hungry crocodile in front of a large crowd of spectators. Bad press followed, but he shook it off and survived. Then in 2006, there was chance encounter with a p...
