Investigation Discovery Announces Creepy New Series for the Halloween Season

As a lifelong connoisseur of both true crime and horror, I can hardly contain my excitement for Investigation Discovery‘s upcoming lineup! The chilling tales of murder, mystery, and mayhem that these new series promise are right up my alley.


Investigation Discovery offers captivating and sometimes unsettling stories drawn from real life throughout the year, but as Halloween nears, the channel is diving into the realm of horror with three brand-new series. Although shows like “_How (Not) To Get Rid of a Body, The Real Murders on Elm Street,_” and “_Cabin In the Woods_” aren’t strictly linked to horror films, they delve into concepts frequently found in the genre. Interestingly, “_Real Murders_” takes inspiration from the “_A Nightmare on Elm Street_” series to examine whether there are truly supernatural occurrences happening on streets across America. These three series will debut in September and continue airing new episodes through October.

According to a recent press announcement, Investigation Discovery will be launching three brand-new shows this September. The first one, titled “How (Not) To Get Rid of a Body“, delves into the psychological aspects of true crime and examines how killers try to dispose of their victims’ remains.

The new series are described as follows:

Title Suggestion for the New Series Premiere: “Disposing of a Corpse: A Guide You Shouldn’t Need”

  • How (Not) To Get Rid of a Body is a new psychological true-crime thriller exploring the outlandish lengths diabolical killers have taken to get away with murder. Each horrifying episode reveals never-before-seen material and recounts in-depth tales of twisted criminal masterminds who go to great lengths and efforts to concoct plans to dispose of their victims. However, the unflinching tenacity and determination of the country’s top detectives who are hellbent on solving these heinous crimes, bring to light these crimes and justice to those criminals who would have certainly gotten away with murder and been free to kill again.

Starting from Monday, September 9th at 9 p.m. Eastern Time, catch the brand new series titled “True Slayings on Elm Lane” on ID and Max channels.

  • The Real Murders on Elm Street is a chilling new six-part documentary series about small suburban towns across America that have been torn apart by murder. At the heart of the series is the central question of how in a single night, these quaint residential ELM STREETS can descend from peace and tranquility into horror, senseless death, and tragedy. Each episode will examine a murder investigation that occurred on one of the many Elm Streets across America with each episode proving horror happens everywhere…

Cabin in the Woods – New Series Premiering Monday, September 9th at 10 p.m. ET on ID & Max

  • In horror movies, nothing good ever happens to those in a cabin in the woods. In this series, true stories of ghastly, sometimes convoluted crimes take place in remote cabins around the country and for good reason: they allow those with evil intentions to carry out the most heinous of acts in peace and quiet away from prying eyes and ears. Combining hard-hitting investigative elements with spine-tingling thrills and chills, this true-crime-meets-true-horror series features the most terrifying crimes ever committed in isolated and otherwise picturesque cabin dwellings.

All three series will premiere in September and air new installments into October.
