Ep 93 Ben The Killer Chimp

from It's Alive...ALIVE!!! Hosted by The Horrorverse Network

What happens when intelligence, grief, and bad decisions share the same house. The Pinborough family believed they were prepared. Prepared for loss. Prepared for responsibility. Prepared to live alongside something they thought they understood. They were wrong. This episode examines the events surrounding Ben, a highly intelligent chimpanzee raised as family, and how a single infection turned trust into catastrophe. As containment fails and help is miles away, survival becomes a race against time, biology, and denial. This is not a story about a monster. It’s a story about proximity, arrogance, and what happens when nature doesn’t care how much you love it. Some families fall apart. This one was torn apart.
