The Devil in the White City : Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America is an upcoming movie based on one of the worst serial killers in history.
The movie is based upon serial killer Dr. HH Holmes, who is said to have murdered anywhere between 27-200 people in Chicago during the time of the World’s Fair of 1893. Sick bastard? Yes, he makes Dahmer and Bundy look like little pussies. HH Holmes murder count is that of legend, about the same as Jason Voorhees and Freddy Kruger, lol. Take that, bitches. So its a true story, you can read up more on this silly goose if you want to, but hey the guy was just trying to make a living, don’t be a hater.
Leonardo DiCaprio is set to play the role of serial killer HH Holmes, which is pretty clever, since he also bought the rights to the movie this month, after beating out Tom Cruise for the honor of this book, and story.
The Devil in the White City
Dr HH Holmes was pretty clever, and an entrepreneur. The good doctor used the Chicago World’s Fair to lure people into his World’s Fair Hotel, (later named “murder castle”), where the crazy bastard would murder his victims , hack them to bits and pieces and sell for scientific study. Pretty fucking creative if you ask me.
The hotel included a gas chamber and a crematorium. No word if the hotel had room service, but I do know they never had a valet service.
Sound sick, disturbing and the plot for a good movie? Yeah, we can’t wait either.
Who’s It For?
sick bastards like me, future serial killers.
Movie Release Date
The Devil in the White City was supposed to be here late in 2012, it looks like a 2013 release now.
Who’s In It?
We know Leonardo DiCaprio is the lead character. Please, please let Daniel Day-Lewis be in this film somehow! He would make the best HH Holmes possible!
What’s Good About It?
The story of Dr HH Holmes is fascinating, and a true one. The world was a much simpler place, yet still full of nut jobs and shitty hotels. Not much has really changed.
Our Clever Prediction
The Devil in the White City should be epic. This new DiCaprio movie sounds like one of the most anticipated of 2012, we can’t wait.

does anyone know when this movie is coming out becasue i am trying to do my history project on this topic and its hard. i have a feeling this movie will help but i have NO clue when its coming out…
any help ?
That is…if he’s still okay acting again out of ‘retirement” and that playing a former President recently didn’t burn him out too much.
It’s almost hard to imagine this movie without Daniel Day Lewis in it somehow. Yet it would almost be too predictable for him to be playing HH Holmes, and like someone else said, he’s probably too old for that role anyway. I’d love to see him as Burnham, but again, he may be too old for that as well. What a bummer. Put him in as Olmsted then. DD Lewis could totally pull it off.
