There’s been a lot of talk about the Annabelle doll lately—so I figured it’s time we go back to where it all started.

In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, I take you through the real story behind one of the world’s most infamous haunted objects. We’ll look at how a Raggedy Ann doll became the face of modern horror, what Ed and Lorraine Warren actually said about her, and how her legacy continues to grow—especially after the strange and tragic events of 2025.

We’ll also talk about Hollywood’s take on the legend, what’s fact vs. fiction, and why skeptics still question everything about her. Plus, I’ll tell you about the haunted apartment, the scratched-up roommate, and the man who dared Annabelle to harm him—only to die hours later.

Is it all hype? Or is there something truly evil hiding behind that stitched-on smile?

Listen now and decide for yourself.

Just days before Halloween, four high school friends discover something strange deep in the woods behind their neighborhood—an unfinished coffin sitting alone in a clearing. What begins as a creepy curiosity quickly turns into something much more unsettling as fear, suspicion, and imagination spiral out of control.

In this original three-part Halloween story, we explore what happens when you let your mind run wild… and start to wonder if something might be running with it.

Inspired by late-night campfire tales and classic October dares, The Coffin in the Woods is a slow-burn, eerie tale about friendship, fear, and the shadows we create for ourselves.

Turn down the lights, grab some candy, and press play—just don’t look too hard at what’s waiting in the trees.

In this brand-new standalone audio story, a man driving down a fog-choked road picks up a young woman hitchhiking in the dead of night. As they ride deeper into the darkness, unsettling clues begin to surface—memories that don’t line up, a road that doesn’t end, and a creeping suspicion that something is very, very wrong. Neither of them knows the truth. But something does.

Don’t miss this eerie new tale from The Halloween Podcast. Turn the lights down, and listen closely… because some rides never end.

Mason and the group follow the last clues to the heart of the invasion. The source of the doubles, the merging, and the chaos that’s been unraveling Greyford is finally revealed.

But some reflections don’t fade so easily.

The journey ends here… or maybe, it’s just beginning.

Mason, Natalie, and Dylan begin to understand just how widespread the doubles have become. With new tools in hand and cryptic warnings from a familiar source, they follow a trail that leads them deep into the forgotten corners of the town.

But answers come at a price.

Old places hide new dangers, and Mason finds himself facing something he may not be ready for—alone.

In Chapters 7 and 8 of Double Vision, the mystery deepens — and the danger becomes terrifyingly real.

Mason, Natalie, and Dylan make a bold move: they kidnap Mr. Jenkins, one of the first people Mason saw with a double. What follows is a chilling face-to-face with the demon inside him. The truth comes out — the doubles are real, they’re not hallucinations… and their goal is destruction.

But just as the group begins to feel like they’ve gained the upper hand, something strange happens. Natalie and Dylan start seeing the doubles too.

And then, the Demon Slayer Deluxe Kit arrives.

It’s ridiculous. It’s over-the-top.
And it might be their only hope.

In Chapters 5 and 6 of Double Vision, things start to spiral fast.

Mason has kept his promise—he’s working, staying sober, and keeping Dylan at arm’s length. But all that progress comes crashing down during one night out with Natalie. What was meant to be a celebration turns into chaos when the doubles return—and this time, they’re not just watching.

As the bar erupts into violence, Mason sees just how close these things are to merging with their hosts. A brutal fight lands him and Dylan in jail, and when Natalie hears the full truth, everything changes.

The doubles are real.
And they’re getting harder to ignore.

The Halloween Podcast continues with Chapters 3 and 4 of Double Vision, the episodic horror audiobook that asks: what if the thing in the mirror really wasn’t you?

Mason is unraveling. His girlfriend Natalie has had enough, and his best friend Dylan just keeps making things worse. But when Mason finally opens up about what he’s been seeing, the truth becomes harder to ignore. There’s something wrong in Greyford—and some people have… others living just beneath the surface.

After trying to set his life straight, Mason lands a job at the local mill and begins to sober up. But that peace doesn’t last. One night out changes everything, and what started as a celebration ends in chaos, violence… and a disturbing new glimpse into what the doubles are truly capable of.

The Halloween Podcast presents the first two chapters of Double Vision, a brand-new episodic horror audiobook.

Mason Carter is stuck in a dead-end town with no direction and too much time on his hands. But after a night of drinking and a strange late-night infomercial, things take a terrifying turn. When he looks in the mirror, he doesn’t just see himself—he sees something darker. Something watching.

In these opening chapters, we meet Mason, Natalie, and Dylan as a simple hangover spirals into something far more disturbing. The doubles are out there… and they’ve started to notice him.

Come back next Monday for the next two chapters!
