This, our thirteenth, episode is a bit of a departure for us. In honor of the Edgar Allan Poe Museum, and to raise awareness of its plight, we decided to present something a little more appropriate. Tonight, we present our rendition of Edgar Allan Poe's classic of horror, The Tell-Tale Heart. To find out more about how you can help save the Edgar Allan Poe House Museum, visit eapoe.org, and join the fight to keep this important piece of horror history alive.

Every January, college students return to classes in the rigorous pursuit of academic excellence. And waiting for them are those insidious organizations: The Greeks. Eager young students pander and scrape for social acceptance during Rush Week, and many organizations require their pledges to perform tasks to prove their worth to the club. But just how far would they go? When does a pledge stunt go too far? Three young college students are about to find out that there are some forces with which one shouldn't trifle. Tonight's Dreadtime Story is called I Want My Mummy.

It's that time of year again, when random strangers stand on your front lawn singing, and when people actually hope to hear a weird fat guy climbing down their chimney. At any other time of the year, we call that trespassing and breaking an entering, but for one special day, we call it Christmas. But there is a darker side to Christmas, when the night is stalked by a fearsome beast. Ever wonder what happens to children who don't make Santa's "Nice" list? Tonight's Dreadtime Story is called "Twas the Night Before Krampus."

Thanksgiving is a special time, a time to reflect on your life and well-being. But for some people, there's never enough for which to be thankful. Some people spend their lives obsessing over grabbing hold of that one thing that will give them everything they want. But there is an old saying: Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it. Tonight's Dreadtime Story is called For What You Have.

After the destruction of our studios by zombies at the end of last season, it took us a while to get back together. But we're back now with the season two premiere of Dreadtime Stories!

Halloween is our favorite time of year, full of ghosts and goblins, witches and ghouls, and other creatures so horrible that they don't even need to wear a costume. Tonight's Dreadtime Story takes place at a Halloween party where things go horribly awry. Join us, please, for Howl-O-Ween! And go back and relive every spine-tingling past episode through iTunes!

April first brings out the prankster in all of us. While most of us know just how far to take a joke, we all have that friend. The one who just doesn't know when to stop. The one who thinks that April first means he can get away with murder. This episode of Dreadtime Stories is a salute to that friend, as well as an homage to Orson Wells. Special guest voice in this episode is none other than horror scribe Gary Braunbeck!

There's music in the night, and the smell of funnel-cakes and popcorn fills the air. People line up for a game of chance to win teddy-bears and goldfish. It's a fun night when the carnival comes to town. But for one lucky couple, games on the midway aren't enough. They need to see the darker side most often called the freakshow. What they find, however, is more horrifying than they could imagine. Join us for our Dreadtime Story called "The Carnival."

For the New Year the Dreadtime Players thought it might be cool to air our "Pilot Episode," the one that got us green-lit. Simple old-school terror reigns as a woman finds herself alone at night with a maniac loose in the neighborhood. We hope you enjoy our first effort, "The Caller."

The Dreadtime Stories Players would like to thank everyone for listening and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And to do so, we thought we'd share a bit of macabre holiday tradition. Gather the children, drink some nog, and enjoy our version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas." We'll see you all in 2010!
