This Netflix docuseries takes us deep inside the chilling mind of John Wayne Gacy through his own words. Based on never-before-heard prison recordings, The Gacy Tapes offers a disturbing glimpse into the thoughts and justifications of one of America’s most notorious serial killers. This isn’t a dramatization it’s Gacy, in his own voice, denying guilt, rewriting history, and casually discussing unthinkable crimes with a level of calm that will freeze your blood.

The series masterfully combines these recordings with archival news footage, police reports, and survivor testimonies to piece together a timeline of Gacy’s double life. From the outside, he was a popular businessman who hosted themed parties and posed for photos with public officials. Inside, he was a predator who took pleasure in manipulation, domination, and destruction. The tapes reveal not just what he did but how he rationalized it. His delusions of grandeur and total lack of remorse paint a disturbing psychological portrait.

This is a series that doesn’t hold back. If you’ve ever wanted to hear the mask fall away in real time, this is it. Gacy’s voice is chilling not because he yells but because he doesn’t. He’s calm. Arrogant. Cold. The Gacy Tapes is true crime at its rawest and most intimate and it forces us to look directly at what real evil sounds like.
