Anybody else get a kick out of this arson episode? The actual incident wasn't funny obviously, just the narration.

Omar!!! I told you I'd do it!! I told you I'd do it...!

Yeah, he sounded like Cactus Jack doing a wrestling promo-but very badly.

Really? I thought the narration was so effing creepy. I'm getting ready to pull out my UM episodes and I'm actually dreading that segment...

TracyLynnS · 12-20-2014, 09:55 PM

What was the other program that showed more about the suspects once they were identified? Was it 20/20 or Forensic Files or something else?

I remember all the creepy stuff the one kid had in his house or garage. He was such a weird dude. Very disturbed.

To this day, all my brother has to text me is "goodnight, ladies and gentlemen", I freak out every time.

He quotes Thundercats. "Ancient spirits of evil..". Mumra would say that when transformed from mummy to Mumra. Tells me he was probably 12-17 years old at the time of arson.

Knowing that the guy was caught after the fact doesn't make the segment as creepy to me as when I first saw it.

One of my friends, who is also a UM buff, kept texting me lines from the segment as I was doing my holiday baking. I almost blocked him.

Granted, I was probably asking for it, as I had just told him that I skipped the Omar segment earlier when it queued up on my computer...

I'm not sure how I felt about it before knowing the full story (which was in Cold Case Files btw) but I definitely think it is awesomely hilarious now.

That evil laughter at the end...I used to put a blanket over my old pit bull puppy's cage and reenact the same laughter, and it scared her.

That's so wrong, yet I can't stop laughing.

I had heard that the San Mateo Fire was on Cold Case Files, but I haven't seen the episode. Maybe it would be apparent if I saw that program, but my question is this- "Why was it featured on Cold Case Files at all?" It wasn't ever a cold case in my view. (Pun only partially intended) The tape was found in '89, shown on UM in '90, and IIRC solved shortly thereafter. I only have the original segment in my collection, not the update, but I could have sworn the case was quickly solved.
