The Playing Card Killer2023
The premise
A playing card left at a murder scene connects a string of killings in this docuseries tracking a notorious serial killer who terrorized Spain in 2003
Horror Vault's take
In 2003, Spain was gripped by fear as a series of murders united by a chilling calling card shocked the nation. This docuseries reconstructs the investigation into one of the country's most disturbing serial killer cases, piecing together the events through evidence, testimony, and archival material. It's a methodical and unnerving look at how a real predator operated — and how authorities closed in.
