Monster In Him

The Monster In Him is a documentary about the Clyde Botham Massacre that took place in Methuen, MA on 3/11/18. The host James Palmer walks the audience through the story of the massacre and everything that caused it with his investigation culminating in a confrontation with Clyde Botham in Sacks Woods.

The Story
On March 3, 2018, Clyde Botham ran through Methuen, MA indiscriminately killing anyone he sees. His strength, speed, and durability were all drastically increased due to his ingestion of Monster Energy, allowing him to kill his victims with ease. In total he killed 308 people before disappearing, never to be seen again. Once the massacre was over, Clarisse Palmer and her sons Claus and Claude were found dead by James Palmer. With his family dead, the only thing James Palmer had to live for was vengeance. In order to avenge his family, James decided to film a documentary about the massacre as a way to find and record information about Clyde

James started his investigation with Daniel Botham, Clyde’s father. Despite Daniel’s raging alcoholism, James was able to learn that Clyde had an addictive personality as a child. He easily became obsessed with things such as video games, which allowed his parents to tempt him into doing whatever they wanted him to do as long as they promised him his latest addiction. Daniel told James it was in Clyde’s teen years that he became addicted to Monster Energy, but Daniel had no knowledge of Monster giving Clyde any unnatural abilities. Content with the information he learned, James narrowly escaped a wine-coolah-fueled beatdown by Daniel and moved on to his next interview.

James interviewed Clyde’s former e-sports teammate Big_DICK_Janet in order to learn more about Clyde’s personality. Janet told James about Clyde’s irritable personality and how the man would get angry over small things such as getting killed in a video game or not having anything to drink. Clyde would often be vocal in his anger, leading his teammates to call him Screechy. The entirety of the Northeast Dingers knew of Clyde’s addiction to Monster. Janet recalled the time Clyde threatened to bring an opponent to Sacks Woods and shit down their throat, a threat James described as “oddly specific.” Content with the information he learned, James narrowly escaped Janet plugging his podcast and moved on to his next interview.

In an attempt to talk to the person closest to Clyde, James calls Daniel again only for the man to not answer the phone because he was drunk most likely. Desperate, James decided to hack in the Methuen PD’s database in order to find a recording of the interrogation of Clyde’s best friend Hubert Hansen.
