Something Scary

Happy Halloween! We thought we’d drop you a special treat to get your day started. 

FLICKER is a story of what happens when you idolize someone a little too much. And you believe what you see on the screen is real.

Just don’t stop moving and never ever let the candle burn out.

Written and narrated by Jed Shepherd with Something Scary podcast co-host Blair Bathory.

Shepherd is the creator of "the scariest movie of the decade", HOST, which he wrote and executive produced.

If you’d like to see FLICKER’s scary artwork, head over to YouTube.com/snarled to see the illustrations of Trevor Henderson in our video.

The dark night becomes a playground for all of us during the halloween season. But we don't realize we're contenting with the supernatural who thrive in the dark. Entities, spirits and creatures who are so vile looking they can only come out at night. If we're not prepared, the monsters may kill us, before we even have a chance to yell boo. 

First, a dog eat dog world

Followed by the masked monster

Then, truth that kills

Finally in our featured story, laughter made of nightmares

It's spooky season so we're all on edge. Getting a good scare from horror movies and haunted houses. We know to be on the lookout for witches, vampires and ghosts and while that is all "fun and games" we can’t let our guards down too much. While we're enjoying Halloween, there are those that use the opportunity to carry out evil plans and get away with it, because they're killers hiding in plain sight. 

First, an office nightmare 

Followed by being scared to death 

Then, stalked in the woods

Finally in our featured story, some dolls are for toys, others are for death

Halloween season is officially upon us! The leaves are beginning drop, the air is crisp, and as the nights get colder we can see our breath in dark. It's tempting to get in the spooky spirit watching horror movies with friends, and even lighting a few candles to see what paranormal entities you can conjure. But don't be fooled by what you think is just fun and games. Because there are evil spirits all around us, and they're just waiting for you to play with dark with magic, or accidentally open a portal, so they can come to our realm and wreak deadly havoc on our lives. 

First, the choice to live or die 

Followed by a waking nightmare

Then, the real horror of Burkittsville 

Finally in our featured story, long awaited revenge

Hey everyone, I want to tell you about a new podcast from AMC Plus, in partnership with Pineapple Street Studios.

It’s the AMC Plus Interview with the Vampire Podcast – a companion podcast to AMC’s new TV adaptation of the Anne Rice classic, which follows Louis de Pointe du Lac's epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, as told to the journalist Daniel Molloy. Hosted by comedian and vampire superfan Naomi Ekperigin (Nay-omi Eck-pari-again), each episode digs into these questions with the actors, writers, and directors behind the show.

And Naomi gets all into vampire history and mythology with vampire experts. Yes, you heard that right. Vampire experts. Trust me. You won’t want to miss this one.

You can listen to the AMC Plus Interview with the Vampire Podcast every week, wherever you get your podcasts.
