Last Minute Sales & Specials

They are history's most horrifying - and intriguing - women. Women who wouldn't hesitate to kill their own mother for money or their children to get them out of the way or total strangers just for the thrill of it. In this chilling series, we recreate the true-life tales of some of the world's most terrifying murders perpetrated by the fairer sex over the past four centuries. (Season One) "Obsession": There are those who are turned on by power such as the 19th century socialite who killed slaves in her torture chamber and a doctor who murdered patients with her starvation diet. "Greed": Meet the churchgoer who killed her family...and gave the insurance proceeds to the church. Then there's the notorious schemer who gave the "personals" a bad name more than 100 years ago. "Revenge": These are the type of murderers who border on the pathological and could kill again and again...like the killer who committed more than 300 murders at one of Vienna's biggest hospitals. (Season 2) "Thrill Killers": In this bizarre journey into the world of women who kill for thrills, meet the woman whose jealousy sparked the kidnapping and torture of an innocent 12-year-old. Then there's the 16-year-old who opened fire on a schoolyard because she didn't like Mondays. And finally there's the lesbian vampire who killed a male victim to satisfy her taste for blood. "Fatal Attraction": Meet the woman who shot her children because they were in the way of her obsession or the woman who poisoned her family in revenge for thwarting her one chance at true love. Then there are the teenagers who bludgeoned a housemate to death to prove their love for each other. "Twisted Minds": When the deranged mind of a deadly woman snaps, there's no telling when or where the killing will stop. "Dark Secrets": Dark secrets are deadly women's stock-in-trade. Take the case of a Florida-based serial killer who secretly murdered lovers and family to lodge insurance claims.
