YOU GUYS. Death Becomes Us is finally here and in full swing! ALL OF OUR TRUE CRIME DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE! Damien Echols! Paul Holes! Amanda Knox! (PS, she just wants to make hats, okay?) And so many more panels and screenings that we’re mega-hype on! Scope the full schedule here, but also, you can just stay put and read this latest edition of BWB, ’cause I am about to tell you everything you need to know in the widely-beloved, mildly-demented style of Megan Burns! (That is me! I will also tell you other things to do in the event you’re not a true crime fan! We still love you, though maybe a little less than before!)

Our GIF theme this weekend is Zodiac, because we’re doing a special screening of it TONIGHT at Nitehawk Williamsburg! (PS, remember this photo of Jake Gyllenhaal and K. Dunst? I think about it daily.) Before we get into all the murdery action, though, here’s some rad #CONTENT you might’ve missed on BYT this week while you were getting SO PUMPED TO TALK ABOUT TRUE CRIME!
