Philip Cairney Joins Us for an Interview About His Docuseries ‘Pet Cemetery Murders’ – Out Today

Documentary filmmaker Philip Cairney joined us for an interview to discuss his compelling new three-part HBO Original docuseries The Pet Cemetery Murders: A Ghost Story. Executive produced by Simon Chinn and Jonathan Chinn, the series dives into the gruesome 1985 murder of Dorothy Thompson in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana.
