I loved that Rhett and Link are the only ones that don't annoy me when advertising something :D

[sarahRbesty]

His ghost is now trapped down in Sewage pipes under an apartment building in Philadelphia. Thanks to Sam and Dean Winchester and Jo Harvelle.

Not mentioned, but something I find relevant:

H.H. Holmes was considered very handsome, and would lure those women in with his charm. He would look for women who were travelling, so that they wouldn't be missed as easily.

(I did a project on him for my high school forensics class).

for next Halloween, I think it'd be highly entertaining to watch these two walk through a legitimately scary haunted house

[Laurel]

We studied on The Devil in the White City in high school and I remember us discussing a part of the book that described how Holmes would lock the girls in his torture boxes and rooms and then a few minutes into them suffocating, he'd open the door and smile at them and and then slam it shut...just to give them a false sense of hope that they might be saved, but then immediately crushing it. SO. CREEPY. That book gave me nightmares like nobody's business.

i'm so proud, you guys have 15, 000 more subscribers than you did this morning.

Anything that has something to do with murderers strangely intrigues me. Please tell me I'm not the only one, I don't want to seem like a complete freak lol

[goldfished]

I sometimes wonder what I'm doing with my life. Here I am, on a YouTube channel, watching two guys talk about serial killers, eating pizza in my bed wrapped up in covers.
I know what I'm doing with my life. I'm relaxing. Like I don't deserve.

[lukerathjen]

I just took off my pants so you couldn't scare them off.

[chanclas]

I could not stop thinking of that Supernatural episode during this vid

[jamiesunshine]

Scariest Episode of Supernatural has HH Holmes as the ghost. No watch that one without watching another one after it. Thank you Sam and Dean Winchester for trapping him in Concrete.

[DavidParody]

Love the halloween themed GMM episodes SO 😍😍😍

[samantham]

I love these types of GMM episodes. Learning about something crazy is so cool.

[Chikadulce]

Mr. March from AHS is based on H.H Holmes <3 I can't wait to see Leo Dicaprio play him in an upcoming movie too! :D

[emilyross]

You don't need to worry about his ghost coming back, Sam and Dean took care of that.

[weniswarrior]

I think if I got interrogated by Rhett and Link id be more confused than anything o.o

[kdtfiles]

Supernatural did a H.H. Holmes based episodes back in season 2 - "No Escape".

[tash]

Imagine if Rhett and Link traded seats

[Jawaddles]

Who would kill Cereal? Not only is that a waste, but it's rude because Link could've eaten that Cereal. Don't let Link miss out on his Cereal. Stop the Cereal killers.

Actually, in AHS: Hotel, I believe it's Evan Peters' character who's loosely based on H.H. Holmes, not Gaga. And the Murder Castle isn't the only inspiration for the show. Most of it comes from a real-life hotel in California, the Cecil.
