Hulu Investigates How a Teen Horror Fantasy Became a Real-Life Nightmare in New Docuseries "The Scream Murder"

A chilling new Hulu docuseries will explore the brutal murder of Cassie Stoddard, revealing a secret videotape and a teenage plot to kill that shattered a community and changed lives forever.

What's Happening:

• In 2006, Pocatello, Idaho, was shaken when 16-year-old Cassie Stoddart was found brutally stabbed to death while house-sitting on the outskirts of town, sparking fear that a random killer was at large.
• Investigators retraced Cassie’s final hours, focusing on her boyfriend, Matt Beckham — who was later cleared — and classmates Brian Draper and Torey Adamcik.
• The case took a dramatic turn when police uncovered a buried videotape in which Draper and Adamcik discussed their plans and referenced committing a real-life murder. Prosecutors argued the teens’ obsession with horror films, particularly Scream, motivated them to plan and carry out the killing as a twisted attempt to mimic what they saw on screen.
• The three-part series, The Scream Murder: A True Teen Horror Story, follows the arrest, trial, confessions, and eventual life sentences handed down to Draper and Adamcik.
• Now adults, Draper and Adamcik reflect on the crime, as the community of Pocatello continues to grapple with the tragedy.
• The Scream Murder: A True Teen Horror Story premieres Wednesday, February 11 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
