So, I decided to dress up as Robert Stack for a Halloween Party last night. My friends were intrigued by my costume, and I told them who I was. Someone I was interested in said they never heard of this show, so we’re gonna meet up on Sunday and watch a segment.

Which segment would you recommend?

D.B. Cooper was one of the many well-done segments from the first seasons. I might pick that one. Certainly one from the early years of the show.

The old guy in the steamer trunk. No, no, just kidding. That would scare the living daylights out of them.

Angela Hammond segment comes to mind, or Cindy James.

That's friggen brilliant, did you have a trench coat too? If you have a picture, please post!

My first thought was Matthew McConaughey but the Larry Dickens case is so terribly sad. Maybe the Son of Sam segment? Gives you an excuse to watch two episodes...Or both of the Elliot Ness segments! Let us know how it goes

The aphrodisiac segment of course. Or the fertility statues one.

Beat me to it. Then they can lean over and say "We, too, can have a steamy evening." :lol:

My suggestion is to explain the various categories of mysteries and ask them which sounds the most fascinating to them. Simply pick your favorite from that category.

Next, ask them if they prefer to be scared or intrigued. If they don't like scary segments, go with something like Howard Drummond, Don Kemp or Keith Reinhard, along with another good Lost Heir. Those are just great for generating conversation, but let's hope they like to be scared! Better chances for you, lol.

You have to love the writing in season 9.

I'd probably go with "Look at it Omar" just because it fits Halloween

I'd hold off awhile before showing them a segment about someone getting kidnapped or brutalized in some way unless you know the person is a true crime aficionado like we are

Show them the weird angel guy in the ice cream truck hit n run segment. See if they react to the angels face lol.

Or do face on Mars. Or men in black.

After showing them a classic UM segment maybe also show them a portion of a popular sports event during the same year as the UM segment? Like "best of that year's nfl superbowl" clips on youtu.be or a sports classic like wrestlemania 9 or wrestlemania 11?

I wonder how many times Robert Stack cracked up when he had to recite the line about oysters provoking thoughts of sex by just looking at them.

I wonder how many times he thought about his three-way in the swimming pool with Ronald Reagan and Liz Taylor.

Where's that Stack AI voice synthesizer? I need to type in the "O face" line from Office Space.

Thought you were joking, looked it up and saw that it was with JFK and Robert Stack and then separately Liz had a fling with Ronald. Lucky Liz :lol:

Sweetheart Swindler. Erich Kestler. The crazy guy who met a woman in a bar and she turned up dead after he brutally beat her to death.

Maybe to really capture the essence of what Unsolved Mysteries was in its prime, watch “Debbie” Shot in the face. Todd McAffee? The first case I can remember that scared the hell out of me was Gretchen Burford. And the girl murdered in Florida by “Ricardito.”

John Burns?

If you don’t want anything too murderous or depressing, Steve Ross, Sharron Steve, Duncan Gilmore.

How about the Priest murders?

I think the same episode has both Gus Hoffman AND Matthew Chase. That would be depressing though. But again, what’s unsolved mysteries if not intriguing, mysterious, sad, and like an abyss staring back at you after too many binges?
