In the episode The Pest House the murders were supposed to be based on urban legends. The only one I didn't know is when the man called Bear killed two people. He ripped two people apart and kept the girls hands, one of which turns up in a soup pot. Does anyone have any ideas what legend that was supposed to be?
shareI hate this episode. Feels soooo unlike Millennium, wayyy too over the top and hokey, comes across like a disguarded X-Files ep.
Anyways, nah i don't know what it could be.
I think it started off okay. The idea of a killer trying to re-enact myths or legends sounded interesting. After that it just got muddled.
The only myth I can think of is this one http://www.snopes.com/horrors/gruesome/cadaver.asp about a severed hand/arm. Sometimes also called the Cadaver Arm. But even that one doesn't really seem to fit.
The one where you pull over to fix a flat tire and get ripped to pieces by a giant mental patient named Bear.

It's interesting that one of the inmates' name was Woodcock, and there really had been a Canadian serial-killer named Peter Woodcock.
