Mountain Murders

When Jennifer’s Body hit theaters in 2009, critics dismissed it as a quirky teen horror comedy. Years later, the film has gained cult status—not only for its feminist themes, but also for its chilling connection to real life. The story of a popular high school girl who becomes the victim of a satanic sacrifice echoes the tragic 1995 murder of 15-year-old Elyse Pahler in Arroyo Grande, California. Elyse was lured from her home by three teenage boys who thought they needed her life for a ritual sacrifice to help their heavy metal band succeed. In this episode, we break down the film’s plot, the true crime case that inspired it, and how horror and reality overlap in terrifying ways.
