The Fear Archive is a true crime and horror film podcast — every episode pairs a real case with the horror film it inspired. This is our Black Christmas episode, currently our top performing episode, approaching half a million listens.
Black Christmas, 1974. It predates Halloween by four years. It laid the blueprint for every killer-in-the-house film that followed. The real case behind it involves a man who hid himself inside a sorority house and was never identified. He was already there before the movie started. Still there at the end.

What really inspired Scream? In this episode, we break down the real Gainesville Ripper murders and explore how Danny Rolling’s 1990 killing spree helped shape one of horror’s most iconic villains: Ghostface.

September 07, 2020 7. The Basement — A Widowed Musician's Descent Into Madness in 1873 and the Bones He Left Behind
Narrative horror podcast In Another Room finally unlocks the basement — and the story of how the house began.
Wendy finally unlocks the basement door — the room she has been told never to enter, the room every spirit in the house has been pointing her toward. In 1873, Frank Smith is finishing construction on the grand mansion he has built as a gift for his beloved wife. She is traveling west to join him. She never arrives.
Wracked with grief and slowly losing his grip on reality, Frank begins seeing a shadowy woman flitting through the halls of his nearly-finished home — an apparition that will lead him, eventually, to commit a murder he does not understand and bury its evidence beneath the basement floor.
When Wendy digs in the same spot, more than a century later, she finds bones. And then she finds something that should not be possible.

The house leads Wendy to the dining room — and to a dinner party in 1928 that should not still be happening. Anne Larkin's husband Gregory has been losing his memory for months. This morning, during a heated argument, she killed him with a kitchen knife and hid his body in an old steamer trunk in the corner of the dining room.

In the trunk's lining, decades later, Wendy will find what the house has been leading her toward all along.
