The last instalment of Conversations with a Killer, the one on Ted Bundy, was absolutely thrilling to watch. It was a great documentary and adding to that the horrible and chilling Ted Bundy himself, it was honestly a great addition for all the true-crime junkies out there. The John Wayne Gacy Tapes starts off with Robert Piest’s disappearance and slowly creeps into Gacy’s life. We jump from his personal to his professional to his criminal life in a manner that adds to the tension of the Limited Series.The victims’ testaments are what will keep you thoroughly glued to the screen. Plus, as you listen to Gacy try to dismiss and downplay his heinous crimes on tape, it comes off as a juxtaposition between what is true and what the perpetrator is thinking about. The 60 hours of unheard tapes are what is the life-blood of this show. It’s chilling, almost scary, listening to his voice trying to excuse his actions and discuss shocking incidents with a calm demeneour.As we hear Gacy’s thrilling point of view, we also hear those of the authorities, the ones who were following him and investigating him – the ones who brought him to justice. Was he a psychopath or was it an outcome of him trying to hide his sexual orientation? That, probably, doesn’t matter but is extremely interesting to think about nonetheless. The real fear comes from how much the community knew Gacy and revered him.
