My dear, the dial glows in a dark room where classic old-time radio horror breathes again—vintage OTR suspense, murder mystery, and supernatural dread from the golden age of radio drama.

🌫️ Terror on the Heath
A moor-side reincarnation riddle from the vintage radio vault—identity, obsession, and a past-life murder mystery that won’t stay buried (hosted by E.G. Marshall).

🚂 Journey into Fear
Eric Ambler’s espionage thriller from Escape (CBS): a hunted man flees Istanbul by night train as an assassin stalks the corridors—pure OTR suspense.

🪦 The Accusing Corpse
A grave, a poison, a name the dead won’t let go—classic old-time radio whodunit where forensics, exhumation, and guilt resurrect the truth.

🪢 The Hangman’s Rope
From The Hall of Fantasy: a cursed relic, a tightening noose, and a creeping supernatural horror that marks its victims before the gallows claims them.

Listen closely, my dear: vintage radio horror may be old… but terror, terror is always new.

Here come the lights, the laughter… and the dread. “Fairground Frights” is a bumper-pack of seven horror stories from Weekly Spooky that turns the carnival midway into a gauntlet of cursed curios, vengeful spirits, and wishes you’ll regret the second you make them. Step into a clown’s funeral where the punchline won’t stay buried. Duck into a toy store after dark, where smiling dolls sharpen their grins. Beat an unbeatable arcade cabinet that might be playing you. Get lost in a mansion’s velvet-dark corridors, run afoul of a man named Jerry who won’t stay down, bargain with a devil you didn’t mean to summon, and tour a museum of artifacts that should never be cataloged.

If you love horror anthologies, creepy clowns, haunted attractions, cursed objects, and theme-park terror, this episode’s for you. It’s perfect for September chills and Halloween build-up—packed with creepy carnival vibes, midnight-movie mood, and the kind of campfire storytelling that makes you keep one eye on the shadows. New to Weekly Spooky? Start here: it’s a self-contained thrill ride with killer pacing, atmospheric sound design, and seven complete, binge-worthy tales. Hit play, throw on your headphones, and let’s go get lost on the midway.

In the rain-soaked woods below Knocknarea in Sligo, Ireland, a man raised human but born fae bargains with the Fair Folk to save his unborn child. Armed with “cold iron” bullets, a stolen sprite, and a prophecy learned from a carnival crone’s mirror, he confronts an emerald pillar of flame and an ancient court that claims his bloodline.

Irish folklore collides with modern terror as love, identity, and iron lore decide the fate of a family. Expect changelings, eerie glens, moss-slick boulders, and a showdown where one wrong move means a crib left empty forever. Weekly Spooky delivers a tense, folklore-rich horror story perfect for fans of fairies, fae bargains, and dark Celtic mythology.

On a sweltering July night in 1966, Richard Speck forced his way into a South Side Chicago townhouse filled with young student nurses. By morning, eight women were dead—strangled, stabbed, and terrorized in what became known as the Chicago Nurse Massacre. Only one survivor lived to tell the tale, her testimony etching this crime into history.

In this episode of Terrifying & True, we unravel the story of Richard Speck—his violent past in Texas, the night of horror that gripped Chicago, the frantic manhunt, and the dramatic trial that ended with a shocking twist in the justice system. From Speck’s infamous “Born to Raise Hell” tattoo to the disturbing prison tape that surfaced decades later, this is the complete, harrowing account of one of America’s darkest crimes.

We’re telling that story tonight.

My dear, the walls around us are never as silent as they seem. Beneath the earth, behind locked doors, even within painted frames—there are whispers waiting to be heard, and horrors waiting to be seen.

Tonight, we descend into five tales where stone, sea, and shadow conceal unspeakable truths… and where murder leaves its mark in the most unexpected places.

🕳️ The Thing in the Cave
Deep underground, something stirs. And once it finds you, the dark will never let you go.

👊 The Brute
There are men who fight for survival, and then there are beasts who only fight to destroy.

🌊 Wave of Terror
The ocean is merciless, my dear. Its waves carry secrets, and sometimes, they return bodies.

🏰 Murder Castle
Behind brick walls and winding halls, the architect waits. Every door a trap, every room a grave.

🖼️ The Phantom Picture
Some portraits are more than paint. Some eyes follow too closely. And some images are alive.

So linger here, my dear, and look carefully. For what you fear may already be standing behind you.

A Chicago hitman is gunned down in 1925 and dumped in a farm grave with a prayer for revenge. A century later, the first day at a small-town high school erupts into full-on possession: shadows walk without bodies, students cling to ceilings, phones glitch, Latin growls through the halls, and a serpent of sulfur chooses its host.

Chelsea Rizzoli just wants to survive the bell. Ethan Crow is gripping a Winchester, and something ancient is steering his hands. Before the doors open to parents and buses, a century-old debt must be paid… and Hell intends to collect.

Expect demon outbreak, mob-cursed revenge, and final-girl stakes—a collision of 1920s crime lore and modern back-to-school terror.

My dear, the word killer carries a weight that chills the marrow. But killers are never the same—some hide in plain sight, some return when least expected, and others linger like a shadow you can’t escape.

Tonight, we descend into five tales where death is not only a fact… but a calling.

🩸 The Killer Inside
Sometimes the sharpest blade is hidden in the quietest heart.

🕰️ Strange for a Killer
He doesn’t move with reason, nor strike with mercy. There’s nothing stranger than a predator who kills without pattern.

🏚️ Killer Come Home
The front door creaks, the lights flicker, and something unseen crosses the threshold. Not all loved ones return the way you remember them.

⛏️ The Killer Mine
Buried deep, in tunnels older than memory, the earth keeps secrets—and some of them have teeth.

🌒 Killer at Large
A town gripped with fear. A faceless threat in the crowd. And no one knows where he’ll strike next.

So join me, my dear… and listen carefully. For the killer you fear most may not be the one hiding in the dark—it may be the one already standing at your side.
