Horace Gorman was a man who abducted and raped several women, making them "marry" him and holding them captive in his basement. He would hold a woman captive in an underground apartment for months, controlling their every move until their bodies and spirits were finally broken. When he tired of his victims, he would blindfold them and let them go. He kept extensive diaries about the torture he put each of his "wives" through. He was castrated by his former victim Hillary Barclay and later murdered by her mother Juliet.
