Turn off the lights… and turn on the dark. Steven always thought his dad was weird. Not “dad joke” weird.
Not “embarrassing at the pool” weird. Something else. Because Gary never—ever—took off his black turtleneck. Not in the heat.
Not at the pool.
Not even at night. But when Steven’s mom finally decides to find out why… Something comes loose. Something that should have stayed… tight. This is Gary’s Turtleneck Terror — a Goosebumps-style horror story with a much darker twist.

Turn off the lights… and listen carefully.
Tonight’s StoryKeeper tale begins with something simple: a woman who wanted a child. No family. No laughter. Just an empty house… and a single, unopened room. But out past the dead fields—where the soil feels wrong and the air holds its breath—she’s given something impossible: A seed. What grows from it is perfect. Small. Beautiful. Alive. But it watches. And at night… something beneath the house starts whispering. Because some things don’t belong to us. And some children… are only borrowed. This is “The Hollow Seed.”
dark fairy tale about loneliness, possession, and the things that grow when we stop listening to warnings.

There are hills that remember. On this special Leprechaun episode of Spooky Storykeeper: Spooky Stories, we step into the cursed clover fields of Chatham Hill — where a starving boy finds a brass button that should have been left buried. What follows is not luck…
but a bargain. A creature calling itself Robertskiltskin O’Jeronemo offers gold in exchange for something far more valuable — and far more dangerous. As wealth floods in, something else begins to disappear… memories, love, and the very soul of a family. This is not the leprechaun you think you know. This is a story about hunger, about greed, and about the price of taking what was never meant for you. So if you hear the ground humming beneath your feet…
turn back. Because the Hill is always looking for someone new to balance the books. 🎧 Performed in the signature dark folklore style of Spooky Storykeeper
🍀 Special Leprechaun Episode

"Don't eat the truffle."

In the heart of the decaying Eastwick Mall, among the dust and shadows of "No Trespassing" signs, thirteen-year-old Timothy finds something that shouldn't exist. It doesn't smell like mold or wet cardboard—it smells like aggressive, artificial cherry. It smells like a birthday party you weren't invited to.

Step inside the Sugar Plum Emporium, a palace of glass, brass, and pulsing sweets. But be warned: the floor is warmer than tile, the shelves are made of bone, and the "mannequins" in the window are looking for a new friend to join their eternal display. Will you take a sample, or will you listen to the clicking of plastic joints before it's too late?
