Episode 1: THE JACKET
Welcome to Maplewood-Sparta—where suburban streets are lined with shadows. Some say the 90s are dead and gone. But here, they linger.
So gather close for a story of a leather jacket, a haunted mixtape, and the strange magic of being seen.
I call it: THE JACKET.
CAMPFIRE RATING for THE JACKET
🌙 Lantern (Teen / PG-13)
Advisory: Themes of death and grief, bullying.
THE CAMPFIRE SCALE
To help listeners choose the right vibe for their listening, each episode will be marked with a rating on our Campfire Scale.
🕯️ Candlelight (All Ages) – Gentle, cozy, safe for kids. Light spookiness, no heavy themes.
🌙 Lantern (Teen / PG-13) – Haunting but not graphic. May include themes of death, bullying, or mild language. Best for ages 13+.
🔥 Campfire (Mature Teen / 16+) – Stronger intensity. Possible mature themes: sexuality, mental health struggles, swearing, or unsettling imagery.
ETHAN'S MIXTAPE
Songs by Nirvana, Alice in Chains, NIN, Metallica, and Mazzy Star play a huge role in this story. We couldn't afford the rights (yet) but you can hear the music as you listen to the story by checking out Ethan's Mixtape.

THE SPARTANS! ANTHOLOGY
Spartans! season one is an 8-episode teen ghost story anthology—think "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" meets haunted mixtapes and 90s nostalgia. Spooky campfire tales woven together strand by strand like a friendship bracelet. Each is tied to a different haunted 90s wearable: a leather jacket, a choker, a flannel, a Starter . . . And to a holiday.
We’ll see you by the fire.
