Many fictional horror stories have been inspired by it, but factual telly hasn’t examined the 1981 murder of Alan Bono in Brookfield, Connecticut, in much depth until now. Many of those involved tell their stories for the first time in this documentary, as it revisits the “Devil Made Me Do It” case — the killer claimed that he was not guilty on grounds of demonic possession.
As the case became the focus of “demonologists” and paranormal investigators as well as reporters, a disturbing backstory emerged. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, a horror movie based on the case, is also on Netflix.
