This MicroTerrors episode is a Halloween scary story for kids about a werewolf stalking Grove City, Ohio, written by Scott Donnelly and narrated by Darren Marlar, with real Grove City shops and shopkeepers written into the plot. It opens in Andrea Cordle's backyard, where the Grove City Messenger writer is brushing off a caller's push for a werewolf article when a howl rises from the tree line and something large gallops after her to the back door. From there it follows Sean Dyer, a homesick boy dropped off with his Uncle Curtis and Aunt Jade for Halloween weekend while his parents close on a new house in North Carolina; the town is under a sundown curfew that no adult will explain, and a police officer sends Sean and his uncle home from Tammy's Pizza on Broadway before dark. The next morning the TV news reports that a beast crashed through the front window of Skylark's Toys and Comics and attacked owner Darren Neff, and at the Grove City Visitor Center, Teresa Breckenridge quietly tells Sean that people all over town have seen a giant wolf walking upright on two legs. By Sunday a second attack has made the news, police are urging everyone to stay indoors, and Sean takes a fifty-dollar job helping Reese, the friendly neighbor with a dog named Bongo, clear out his cluttered attic.

Gwen Archer's new house has crooked shutters, cracked windows, and dozens of bent nails in her bedroom wall where the girl who lived there before hung her paintings and photos. That family packed up every bit of it when they moved out, everything except a doll named Darcy. A doll that lives in the attic.

Three MicroTerrors listeners wrote in with their own scary stories: a girl who sneaks out at night to see the T-Rex every parent in town warns about, a free doll on the sidewalk that introduces itself as Mr. Stevenson, and a family cruise with nothing but one-star reviews and something big moving under the boat.

Three Micro Terrors listeners, ages seven to twelve, wrote this week's stories: a boy wakes up on the first morning of spring break to a kitchen that's a little too tidy and birds that chirp right on cue; a puddle of red slime shows up beside a dinner chair just before bedtime; and two brothers spot a strange light on long pole legs on the walk home from school… and then it starts moving.

The thrilling conclusion! Scout Brooks and Mandy Lee have fought their way across the alien world of Thryos, battling monstrous Throats in a desperate search for Professor Nog's captured friend, Farrow. But with danger closing in from every direction — and Scout's own friend Chuck now caught snooping around Fort Nogs back home — nothing about this mission has gone according to plan.

Scout Brooks just wanted to survive his first day of seventh grade. Instead, he found himself recruited into a mysterious after-school club, named 'The Chosen One' by the strange Professor Nog, and handed a box of secrets he's not allowed to talk about. Meanwhile, somewhere far beyond the stars, a man named Farrow remains a prisoner of creatures no one back on Earth even knows exist.
