Halloween horror stories—making spooky season terrifyingly real. 

Richard Trenton Chase, the “Vampire of Sacramento,” whose 1977–1978 crimes turned neighborhood fear into a citywide lockdown. We connect the early warning signs to the unlocked-door “invitation” pattern, the frantic manhunt and FBI profile, and the courtroom fight over sanity and responsibility. With clear sourcing and zero fluff, we trace how untreated psychosis, blood-fixated delusions, and institutional failures produced one of America’s most nightmarish true-crime horror cases.
Inside this episode

• Early warning signs: Escalating animal cruelty, delusions, and missed interventions.
• Method of entry: Why unlocked doors became his “permission”—fueling the vampire legend.
• Timeline of murders: From Dec 29, 1977 (Ambrose Griffin) through Jan 1978 home invasions marked by mutilation and blood-drinking.
• Profilers move in: How the FBI Behavioral Science Unit sketched a near-perfect suspect.
• Arrest & evidence: The apartment, the freezer, and what they revealed about ritual and motive.
• Trial, verdict, and death: The sanity battle, death sentence, and end on death row.
• Legacy & lessons: Media panic, myth vs. pathology, and what communities can learn.

If you’ve ever wondered how a horror legend becomes flesh-and-blood fact, this is the case.

We’re telling that story tonight.

It's time for horror stories! When the clock forgets your name, my dear, the night remembers. In this episode of Unknown Broadcast, we summon six chilling old-time radio horror stories—tales of cursed strangers, haunted houses, ghost makers, and books that bleed. These macabre fictions echo the golden age of radio—dark, vintage, and unforgettable.

• 👴 A Very Old Man — A kindly stranger wanders in from the cold… but time clings to him like grave-moss. Every kindness here has a cost.
• 🌘 A Terrible Night — A sleepless hour stretches thin as a blade; something in the hallway counts your breaths… and hungers for the last one.
• 🏚️ House of Murder — A home with a heartbeat and a habit: it keeps what enters. Doors close softly; the house does the rest.
• 🪄 The Ghost Maker — A craftsman sells impossible reunions, one coin at a time. The dead return—polite, grateful… and wrong.
• 🐍 Snake Doctor — Remedies brewed in swamps and whispers; a healer with patient hands and venom in the fine print.
• 🩸 The Blood Red Ink — A manuscript writes back, correcting its readers in strokes of crimson. The ending will have you.

If you crave the uncanny, the Unknown Broadcast will be your companion: a place where classic OTR horror storiesand modern unease meet. Listen with the lights low and the locks firm; the night dislikes an audience that looks away.

Halloween watchlist essential! We sink our claws into one of the most iconic horror films ever made: Wes Craven’s 1984 classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. Hosts Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi revisit Freddy Krueger’s terrifying debut, exploring how this razor-fingered dream stalker redefined the slasher genre and haunted a generation of horror fans.

Inside this episode, Henrique and Rachael share their first encounters with the film—late-night VHS terrors and the exhilaration of discovering horror’s most surreal monster. They break down:

• The legacy of Wes Craven — how his unique vision fused nightmares and reality.
• Freddy Krueger’s origins — a vengeful ghost, a product of parental sins, and an enduring cultural boogeyman.
• Themes of fear and adolescence — how suburban safety hides lurking generational trauma.
• Dream sequences & surreal imagery — why they still feel terrifying decades later.
• The franchise’s evolution — from Freddy’s pure horror roots to his shift into dark comedy across sequels.

Whether you first saw it huddled at a sleepover or discovered it on late-night TV, A Nightmare on Elm Street still cuts to the bone. Join Henrique and Rachael for a spirited, insightful discussion that blends nostalgia, cultural analysis, and a few laughs along the way.
