Criminal Minds (2007)
ep Scared to Death
Show Summary:
A man poses as a therapist to help people get over their worst fears and he kills them with their actual worst fear. Serial killer.
I was not going to watch this one, as I have seen it before but it is a very interesting episode. The killer is a therapist who has childhood issues with fear himself and kills people in the throes of their worst fears realized. He posts ads in local stores and laundrymats in the guise of doing a "study" on the topic and helping people get over their fears and thus entraps unsuspecting people in his web. Scary stuff. He takes notes as he works on people and each kill is customized for the specific person - one person is afraid of water, another afraid of being buried alive and so on. You can see how it goes. The killer in this episode is well done and very clinical in his approach, he stages his office in an empty office building and constructs the ruse very well.
Very creepy. This show sometimes is almost too creepy.

Overall rating:
Good episode and very creepy to me. I can see how people would have fallen for this guy.
Recommend:
Yes but scary stuff.
Warnings:
None for this episode. No blood or anything. Creep factor.
