Between 1977 and 1989, a dozen people died under mysterious circumstances, with one thing in common: a connection to a spiritual leader in Dallas, Texas named Terri Hoffman. In Scary Terri, investigative reporter Jonathan Hirsch unravels the web of lies, manipulation, and dubious deeds that surround Hoffman.

Scary Terri is the latest series from The Binge - subscribe to...

"We felt like we were missing something in "Smoke Screen: Deadly Cure."...it failed to deliver on some basic questions about what was going on...also thought the host was a little too blasé when getting her hands on the poison."

"(Season: Deadly Cure) Host Kristen V Brown tells the mind-boggling story of the dangerous cult that promoted it and a band of activists who went on a mission to hunt its members down and stop them."
