She Killed Them and Then Fed Them to Her Beloved Pigs

Published

on

Susan Monica is currently serving two life sentences in prison. Her crimes are so grotesque and twisted she has become a notorious individual among true crime enthusiasts. Although technically a serial killer is a murderer who kills three or more people, who knows what Monica would have done had she not been caught? Or if there are others she hasn’t admitted to.

The killer started out as a heroic wartime veteran. After fighting in the Vietnam war, Monica went on to become an engineer. That vocation wouldn’t last and in 1991 she decided to buy a 20-acre farm in Wimer, Oregon. The farm was secluded and her nearest neighbor was miles away. The bucolic lifestyle seemed to fit into her anti-social disposition. Her new friends were chickens and pigs.

However, it appeared she needed help with her farmyard chores and that’s when her first victim, 59-year-old Stephen Delecino, comes into play. Monica found him and hired him as a handyman. Then one day, he suddenly disappeared. More about him later.

Robert Haney Victim #2

Robert Haney was reportedly estranged from his family which seemed to fit in perfectly with what Monica had in store for him. Haney was hired by the killer after she found him on Craigslist. He was a divorcee and loved the secluded location. As a welfare recipient, Haney used food stamps, or an EBT card to make purchases.

According to Haney’s son, his dad and Monica had a professional arrangement in that she would pay him in cash in exchange for some handiwork and architectural duties. This was reportedly a great deal, especially since Haney liked having cash and living off the grid; he had no phone or electronic devices.

However, Haney’s family wasn’t as distanced from him as originally thought. In 2014, after they hadn’t heard from him in a long time, they decided to visit the farm to make sure he was okay. Monica told the siblings that their father had left four months prior. She also asked that they clean out his trailer. Inside they found his jacket and tools which made them suspicious enough to call the police.

Monica talked with the police, but kept to her lie. She said Haney left the property to seek vengeance against a recently assaulted family member. His kids corroborated that the assault did happen, but they had not seen their dad.

The police left, but were still not convinced that Monica was telling the truth. It wasn’t until they discovered that Haney’s welfare debit card was still being used at a local Walmart, that they investigated further. Surveillance camera footage showed that Monica herself was using the card so police went back to the farm to investigate on the basis of fraud. Instead what they found was a gruesome murder scene.

One investigator came across a severed leg in a pond. They later said the limb was clearly not that of an animal, but a human. Monica was brought in for questioning and admitted to the murder but said it was out of empathy.

She claimed that she found Haney disemboweled and in the process of being eaten by pigs. Having mercy, she shot him, and then once the pigs had their fill, put his remaining body parts in trash bags which she stored in the barn. She added that wild animals must have gotten into the sacks and dragged his leg into the pond.

Monica says she didn’t tell authorities what really happened because she was afraid her pigs would be euthanized.

Police confirmed that some of Haney’s remains were still in trash bags in the barn. That discovery initiated a crime scene investigation and the entire farm was cordoned off. Their search resulted in the discovery of another body, that of the aforementioned missing farmhand Stephen Delecino.

Monica verified that it was Delecino’s body, but said his death resulted from self-defense. She claims she caught him stealing two of her rifles and the confrontation turned deadly.

Former Jackson County Sheriff’s Detective Eric Henderson told producers of the real crime reality series Snapped that Monica fed Delecino’s remains to her pigs in 2012 and then buried what was left. When pressed if there were more victims, Henderson says he got a chilling response, “She told me that if she told me about the 17 others that she would spend the rest of her life in jail.”

That still might be the case because in 2015 the 74-year-old was convicted on all counts and sentenced to a minimum of 50 years in prison. She has 43 years left. Perhaps comfortable in her new surroundings, Monica reportedly told cellmate Jordan Ferris about what really happened to Haney:

“Susan told me that Robert and her got into an argument because he was drunk and he was trying to come on to her. She shot him and then pushed him into the pigpen.”

Pigs Can and Will Eat Human Flesh

Just in case you are wondering, yes, pigs will eat human flesh. The animals are omnivores which means they eat both plants and animals. In fact, if you have ever talked to a pig farmer, the porkers will eat almost anything.

There have been a number of reported cases where swine have feasted on humans. In 2012, only Harry Vance Garner’s dentures and pieces of his body were found in a pigsty. His pigs weighed over 700 pounds. Coroners were unable to determine how exactly Garner died because of the condition of his remains.

Childhood Memories Collide in New Horror Film ‘Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble’

Published

on

It looks like ITN Studious and Jagged Edge Productions are going the Avengers: Infinity War route with their upcoming film Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble. From the deranged mind of Rhys Frake-Waterfield (Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey) comes this belligerent mash up of beloved childhood icons.

According to an article out of Variety today, Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble will consist of Winnie the Pooh, Bambi, Tinkerbell, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, Tigger, Piglet, The Mad Hatter, and Sleeping Beauty. All of these iconic figured will be warped into nightmarish versions of their former selves. Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble is set to be released upon the world sometime in 2025.

Poohniverse

Actor-producer Scott Chambers (Malevolent) had the following to say about Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble. “As horror fans, we would love an Avengers that is all villains. It’d have Freddy Krueger, Jason, ‘Halloween,’ ‘Scream,’ all of those. Obviously that will never happen, but we can make it happen in our own little way, and that’s where this film has been born.”

Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble will be a part of The Twisted Childhood Universe. Just like the MCU, each character will first get a standalone film. After introductions are made, they will be reunited in an Avengers style film. Although they will be killing off the survivors from the previous films, they won’t be working together.

Chambers describes this as an “epic sequences of monster vs. monster.” And I don’t know what more fans could ask of the studio. This fantastical idea is a huge risk but Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble sounds amazing.

That’s all the information we have at this time. Check back here for more updates on Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble. If you haven’t already, check out the trailer for Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 below.

Blumhouse’s ‘The Wolf Man’ Reboot Kicks Off Production with Leigh Whannell at the Helm

Published

on

Blumhouse Productions has officially commenced filming its reboot of the Universal Monsters legend, “Wolf Man”. Under the direction of Leigh Whannell, known for his acclaimed work on “The Invisible Man” (2020), the project promises to breathe new life into the iconic tale. The film is slated for a theatrical release on October 25th, marking a new chapter in the storied franchise.

Wolf Man

The journey of a “Wolf Man” reboot began in 2020 when actor Ryan Gosling presented a fresh take on the classic story to Universal. This concept quickly evolved into a screenplay crafted by the talented duo Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, who are known for their work on “Orange Is the New Black,” alongside contributions from Whannell and Corbett Tuck. The narrative is set in contemporary times, drawing inspiration from the atmospheric tension of Jake Gyllenhaal’s “Nightcrawler,” albeit with a distinct supernatural twist.

The film has seen its share of directorial and casting shifts, with Whannell initially signing on to direct in 2020, only to step away and then return to the project after Ryan Gosling and director Derek Cianfrance exited. The lead roles have been filled by Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner, both of whom bring significant talent to the screen. Abbott portrays a man whose family faces the terror of a lethal predator, with Garner likely playing his wife, sharing in the familial peril. The storyline also hints at a daughter named Ginger, adding a layer of depth to the family’s harrowing experience.

This reboot represents a collaboration between Blumhouse and Motel Movies, with Jason Blum producing. Ryan Gosling remains involved as an executive producer, alongside Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner, and Whannell himself. The announcement of the film’s production start was made by Jason Blum, who shared an exciting glimpse of Whannell on set, signaling the beginning of what is hoped to be a memorable addition to the horror genre.

As the “Wolf Man” reboot moves forward, fans and newcomers alike are eager to see how this modern interpretation will pay homage to its roots while offering a fresh and thrilling experience. With a talented cast and crew at the helm, the film is poised to reintroduce the timeless tale of transformation and terror to a new generation.

‘Immaculate’ Stars Reveal Which Horror Villains They Would “F, Marry, Kill”

Published

on

Sydney Sweeney is just coming off the success of her rom-com Anyone But You, but she’s ditching the love story for a horror story in her latest film Immaculate.

Sweeney is taking Hollywood by storm, portraying everything from a love-lusting teenager in Euphoria to an accidental superhero in Madame Web. Although the latter got a lot of hate among theater-goers, Immaculate is getting the polar opposite.

The film was screened at SXSW this past week and was well-received. It also gained a reputation for being extremely gory. Derek Smith of Slant says the, “final act contains some of the most twisted, gory violence this particular subgenre of horror has seen in years…”

Thankfully curious horror movie fans won’t have to wait long to see for themselves what Smith is talking about as Immaculate will hit theaters across the United States on March, 22.

Bloody Disgusting says that the movie’s distributor NEON, in a bit of marketing smarts, had stars Sydney Sweeney and Simona Tabasco play a game of “F, Marry, Kill” in which all their choices had to be horror movie villains.

It’s an interesting question, and you might be surprised at their answers. So colorful are their responses that YouTube slapped an age-restricted rating on the video.

Immaculate is a religious horror movie that NEON says stars Sweeney, “as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.”
