Carl Eugene Watts: The Phantom of Violence – America’s Unknown Serial Killer

In this chilling episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale reveals the haunting story of Carl Eugene Watts, a man whose name remains obscure despite a suspected body count that rivals or surpasses the most infamous serial killers in history. Known as The Sunday Morning Slasher, Watts terrorized women across Michigan, Texas, and beyond, striking at random with terrifying precision — and leaving no clear motive behind. Unlike typical serial killers, Watts didn’t stalk his victims for weeks or keep trophies. He didn’t care about their names. He simply craved their terror. With an estimated 80 to 100 victims, his legacy is one of pure, directionless violence. From his troubled childhood and early signs of sadism, to the controversial plea deal that nearly let him walk free, this episode unpacks the story of a killer who moved like a ghost through the American landscape — silent, motiveless, and merciless. Damien Vale guides listeners through Watts’s twisted life, failed interventions, and the last-minute courtroom victory that ensured he died behind bars.
