Let Me Hear Your Body Talk: The Unusual Process of Dubbing 'Physical 100'ĥ1 Directors' Favorite Horror Movies: Bong Joon Ho, Quentin Tarantino, Guillermo del Toro, and More Netflix's 'Shadow and Bone' Is Now a Great Heist Show Hidden Underneath a Fantasy Shell But Nemmers is just one of several revelations in “Conservations with a Killer: The John Wayne Gacy Tapes.” One of those survivors was Steve Nemmers, who outsmarted Gacy as a teenager and now, as a traumatized adult ready to tell his story, gets a voice in the new Netflix documentary series from “The Ted Bundy Tapes” and “Paradise Lost” director Joe Berlinger. Ultimately, Gacy killed 33 boys and young men, with only a few surviving those attacks. Some of their corpses were buried under the very backyard fire pit where he entertained them. Gacy, who lived and killed in Illinois in the 1970s, was the life of the party, a Democratic precinct captain, and an occasional birthday clown who threw backyard barbecues and offered gainful employment to many local young men.īut underneath his veneer of generosity, Gacy was a self-loathing narcissist and psychopath whose largesse was bait for sex with teenage boys, and once he got what he wanted, the threat of exposing his sexuality led him to brutally torture and murder them.
