Fred and Rose—you may know their names well or not at all, but once you know their story, you’ll never forget them. The murderous British couple looked as normal as could be, but behind the Sears portrait studio photos was horrifying darkness. Terrorizing women and girls for more than 20 years, the two worked as a gruesome team to capture and torture their victims.
They were arrested in 1994, so it wouldn’t seem that a ton of new info would be popping up, but new recordings reveal an even deeper dive into the mind of these depraved killers. While past narrative puts Fred in the driver’s seat, as the truth unfolds, we learn that Rose wasn’t a passive participant—she plotted and schemed some of the awful acts the couple performed.
Spanning three episodes and slowly unfolding the well-known story alongside new revelations, this series is a bingeable breeze to watch for true-crime fans. If you don’t know the Wests’ story, this one is a real bummer, so proceed with caution. Their former home is known as the “House of Horrors” for good reason: The horrors held inside are disgusting and terrifying. (three approximately one-hour episodes.) Δ
