H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer is a documentary film that explores the life and crimes of Herman Webster Mudgett, better known as H.H. Holmes. Holmes was a notorious serial killer who operated in Chicago during the late 19th century.

The film delves into Holmes' early life, his medical education, and his construction of the infamous "Murder Castle" - a hotel he designed specifically to lure and kill his victims. Holmes is believed to have murdered at least 27 people, although the true number of his victims may never be known.

H.H. Holmes: America's First Serial Killer also examines the investigation and capture of Holmes, as well as the sensational trial that followed. Holmes was eventually convicted and sentenced to death, making him one of the first documented serial killers in American history.

This documentary sheds light on the dark and twisted mind of H.H. Holmes, as well as the impact his crimes had on the city of Chicago and the nation as a whole.
