Character Realm

Part of the charm of LPOTL are the characters created by all three hosts, but mainly Henry Zebrowski, the character actor and "aclaimed voice talent." Much of the humour in the podcast comes from these characters, bringing dark humour to intense and often horrifying topics. Some make us laugh to the point that our ribs hurt and others simply allow us to imagine what the serial killers (horrible individuals) and paranormal entities might have sounded or acted like...

Enter into the Character a Realm of Last Podcast on the Left... if you dare!

## Most Popular

Detective Popcorn: the character often seen as the most notable and recognizable on the podcast. A member of the LPOTL imagined Hot Dog Squad (a legitimate name in the BTK case), our famed detective pile of popcorn known for eating himself and doing a very poor job at solving crimes. He made his debut in Part 2 of the BTK heavy hitter episodes and has been hovering around ever since. The popularity of this character cannot be understated considering he's appeared on t-shirts and has his own plush doll.

Spring-Heeled Jack: the jumping cryptid of England, Spring-Heeled Jack appeared in the Horrors of the UK episode and made a lasting impression that he's earned his own video on YouTube. While quite possibly fictional, Jack's hobbies include attacking women, disguising himself as "Not Spring-Heeled Jack," scratching people, jumping over buildings and releasing successful flute albums.

Klaxar: Klaxar is everyone's favourite alien. He often appears whenever there is an abduction episode. Sadly, his name is rather common amongst his fellow grays so we're not always a hundred percent that we're following the same Klaxar.

**Terry the Badass Gnome**: Terry is the a rather grumpy gnome known for his foul mouth and need to get high. He complains about many things.

Minnie and Nannie Williams: The last known courted victims of Dr. H.H Holmes, Minnie and Nannie are not the brightest bulbs as they only seem to be able to screech each other's names.

**David Berkowitz**: Henry puts his New York upbringing and accent to work while bringing the Son of Sam to life. The serial killer's appearance has gone beyond his heavy hitter series and developed to a full-fledged character (though he can sound suspiciously like Henry's mother once and while). Berkowitz's loves include lecturing people about how hard it is to strangle people, drinking milk (real-life), blaming dogs (real-life), listing all the things he's allergic to (what he's not allergic to include air, the pants he's wearing and Garfield the comic strip), and enjoying the Anger Management show with Charlie Sheen.

**Charles Manson**: Henry's interpretation of what Manson sounds like and how he likely acted. Still considered unstable and high, even in jail, Henry’s sees Mr. Manson as the kind of groovy guy who likes riding spiders, meeting women, singing his songs, doing drugs, and bragging about his sex life.

**Charles Ng:** While the episodes are some of the most disturbing that the Thrilling Three have ever covered, Henry brought much humour with his impression of Charles Chit-Tat Ng. The serial killer and real-life monster, became a nerd and loser who yells constantly about what he brings to a friendship. His hobbies include practicing his real-life Kung Fu skills which include spin kicks and nunchucks, using Koalas as toilet paper, chanting boot camp cadences, studying improv under Del Close, drawing disturbing cartoons about his crimes and cooking with some very interesting kinds of meat. His appearance has expanded to other episodes. He appeared to have joined the Aum Shinrikyo cult at some point and tried to make everyone laugh, but his timing was poor and he threw a tantrum when nobody laughed. He also appeared in the Robert Pickton episode to talk about his pet chicken, "Little Pecker."

Mr. Muggs Jones: the pet chimpanzee who belonged to Jim Jones and his family during their years in the People's Temple. He was likely named after J. Fred Muggs from The Tonight Show. Henry's imagines the monkey has a voice box (building on the lie Jim Jones told his followers that Mr. Muggs was saved from a labratory). Mr. Muggs seems to be very aware of the horrible things happening around him and attempts to tell people but they pay him no mind due to him being a chimp.

**The Bone Slicer (Freckly Bone)**: Inspiration taken from The Bone Slicer from the *Nothing But Trouble* movie, the Bone Slicer is a sort of Igor minion who pops up with the mention of bones. His hobbies include describing the tragedies that have plagued his family, being the real-estate agent for very haunted places.

**Harold Schechter**: A professor at Queens College, City University in New York. He is seen as the patron saint of True Crime and the boys praise his books whenever they use them for research. The author has also made an appearance on the show as part of an interview. Henry will occasionally imitate Harold's voice in his own way, and Harold is okay with the imitation, as it can be seen as the highest form of flattery.

## Other Characters

These are the characters that usually only appear in the perspective episodes, but are darkly humerous all the same.

**Gef the Talking Mongoose**: Despite Ben making Honking noises, it's not that type of goose.

**Aileen Wurnos**: A special presentation from Jackie Zebrowski, Jackie voices Aileen and recites the letters the female serial killer's book called *Dear Dawn*. Henry will occasionally imitate her accent as well. Aileen enjoyed drinking beer (real-life), shooting guns (real-life), spending time with Tyra Moore (real-life), staring at people for no reason (real-life), and reminicing about her old days on the roads (real-life).

**Peggy Hogdson**: Oh Crumbs! the mother of Janet Hogdson and one of the key players in the Enfield Poltergeist case. Henry become fixated on the time period in England and makes Peggy obsessed with rags and washing said rags in a basin (Marcus even tells him to curb it a little bit, but without success). She also talks about her various ailments which include hooked feet, sandy ankles and rag lung (which comes from being a rag woman). Peggy's other traits include shouting "Oh Crumbs" (real-life), taking in haunted furniture because it's free (real-life) , and asking for more rags to clean.

**Gary Ridgeway's Mother**: Known as Mary Rita Ridgeway in real life, Henry's impression of "The Green River Killer's" mother includes an exaggerated screechy voice that constantly calls him “Pee Pants Gary...!”

**Robert "Willie" Pickton**: You're next Canada!! This infamous Canadian serial killer was a filthy, stinking monster who lived happily with his pigs and is also surprisingly the richest serial killer ever covered on the show. The boys bring their best "Canadian" accents to highlight the man who enjoyed not bathing, using his pig sense, riding a pig, showing off his favourite lady pen, writing to pen pals (real life), hating cherry pies, running the piggy mafia (mostly real-life), and talking to his toupee named Harold.

**Louise Pickton**: The mother of Robert Pickton who was just as bizarre as her son, wearing a house dress over men's jeans and men's rubber gum boots making her waddle like a duck, donning a chercheif over her bald head and having a goatee on her face. Her most distinguishing feature was the fact that all her teeth had rotted out and she talked in a garbled, high-pitched and rapid screech, which Henry was more than up to the challenge, making Louise one of the highlights of the first episode on Robert Pickton and she appears in ghost form in Part 4. She enjoys yelling at people, ordering baconators at *Arby's*, covering for her sons' crimes (real life), living in filth (real life), and running the family farm (real life).

**Tillie Klimek**: the first Black Widow covered on the Black Widow series and known as the Polish Prognosticator (also the title of the episode). Henry allows his Polish background shine through here putting on his best accent to allow Tillie to come to life. Her hobbies include poisoning her husbands (real-life), poisoning dogs (real-life), tormenting her husbands about their imminent deaths (real-life), shouting to anyone that they will "be dying soon," flaunting her wealth including babushkas made from emeralds that also display the Polish eagle, taunting her cousin who was named an accomplice (real-life) and using rat bones.

**Pomo**: a play on John Wayne Gacy's clown name Pogo the clown. Pomo is imagined as a soft, white cartoon character who loves people. When asked how his species survives without any the normal organs for reproduction, he says that they split into four of them in order to survive. Pomo enjoys loving people, floating around happily, talking about how only the strongest of his species survive which means his siblings did not survive and that there was only so much food to go around when this occurred.

**Whitey Firestone:** was a real-life member of the People's Temple who was Jim Jones' "whipping boy" meaning he was always picked on and shown as an example of what would happen if people did not follow Jim Jones. Henry turns him into a very unlucky man who gets his feet stuck in a chair, has his sandwich stolen by a bird, gets locked inside a refrigerator and works at the nuclear power plant.

**Johnny Garbage:** a fictional Temple member who would willingly eat the chicken guts used for Jim Jones' cancer scam. He states that there's nothing he likes better than something stinky that falls on the ground, and due to this, everybody hates him.

**Dr. Larry Schacht**: a real-life member of the People's Temple who was known as the Jonestown doctor and came up with the poison that the members eventually consumed. In the fictional world, he sounds like an evil German supervillain who asks people if they want to see what heaven looks like?

**Ray Lamphere**: a farm hand who worked and had a relationship with Belle Gunness. After the fire at the Gunness farm, he was accused of setting the fire and killing the Gunness family (which is very unlikely to be true). In the show, he is portrayed as a hapless loser who gambles, drinks, has relations with older women, steals fence posts, names all the horses on the farm, Derek the brown horse being his favourite, and singing love songs to Belle.
