Annie Wilkes | Number One Fan in Misery

She's a nurse. She's a fan. She's a killer. In this episode of Dark Character Profiler, Fulcrum dissects the Unstable psyche of Annie Wilkes - the infamous villain of Misery. Through listener polls and psychological analysis, we ask, "What turns devotion into delusion?" We also make a comparison to a real-life medical monster, a breakdown of Annie's crimes, and a teaser for Imaginarium 2025 in Louisville.
