Cosmic horror, alien invasion nightmares, interdimensional warfare, occult terror, time-travel chaos, and apocalypse-driven weird fiction crash together in this wildly twisted Weekly Spooky compilation.

Tonight’s lineup moves from a New Year’s Eve time-rip disaster into a funeral where killer clowns play by rules all their own, then into a last-ditch battle to stop multiversal annihilation, and finally down a rain-slick spiral of crime, occult corruption, and a monster born from something that should have stayed buried. This one leans hard into weird horror: the kind where reality starts slipping, the rules stop making sense, and survival suddenly feels like a temporary condition.

• Saint Jimmy — by Dan WilderA freak sound-based time-rip sends Jimmy hurtling through alternate timelines, self-inflicted paradoxes, and one gloriously deranged Y2K nightmare ruled by a leather-clad tyrant and his skeletal minions. It’s funny, chaotic, weird as hell, and loaded with sci-fi panic and end-of-the-world absurdity.
• The Fun in Funerals — by David O’HanlonA dead clown’s funeral becomes a grotesque midnight hunt when the mourners must satisfy an ancient code or face the return of something far worse than death. This one is savage, darkly funny, and drenched in monstrous carnival energy.
• Last Stand — by Rob FieldsWith Hellweaver closing in on the Infinity Core and the Reality Sphere in her grasp, the last heroes of the Battleguard gather for a doomed, universe-saving final battle. This is pure multiverse sci-fi horror spectacle with cosmic stakes and relentless devastation.
• The Last Days of Jimmy Flavor — by David O’HanlonA drifting burnout reinvents himself as “Jimmy Flavor” and gets pulled into a Vatican-backed theft, an occult conspiracy, and a nightmare pursuit involving ancient books, cult magic, and a gut-churning creature that refuses to stop hunting. Mean, strange, and desperate in all the right ways.

From torn-open timelines to infernal artifacts, undead clown law, and the collapse of whole realities, this compilation is all about staring into the impossible and realizing it is staring right back.

What starts as a scrappy Japanese zombie movie quickly becomes one of the most inventive, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartfelt horror-comedies of the last decade.

This week on Cutting Deep into Horror, Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi dive into One Cut of the Dead (2017), Shinichiro Ueda’s brilliant cult favorite about zombies, chaos, low-budget filmmaking, and the beautiful disaster of trying to make art when everything is falling apart.

At first glance, One Cut of the Dead looks like a strange, messy, low-budget zombie movie. But stick with it, because this is a film that rewards patience in a huge way. What unfolds is a clever, funny, deeply affectionate tribute to filmmakers, actors, crew members, and anyone who has ever tried to pull off something impossible with no time, no money, and way too much pressure.

Henrique and Rachael talk about what makes the movie’s structure so special, how it balances horror and comedy, why the film hits especially hard for anyone who has worked behind the camera, and how its chaotic energy turns into something genuinely joyful.

Inside this episode:

- Why One Cut of the Dead is best experienced knowing as little as possible
- How the movie transforms from zombie weirdness into filmmaking genius
- The joy, stress, and absurdity of independent film production
- Why the second half completely recontextualizes the first
- How Shinichiro Ueda turns a tiny movie into a massive crowd-pleaser
- Why this modern Japanese horror-comedy became such a beloved cult classic

A creepy old house. A terrifying basement. A hidden Underground Railroad tunnel beneath the floor. And one frightened boy who makes the worst possible choice: he decides to see where it leads.
In this terrifying episode of Weekly Spooky, Curtis Tucker is afraid of the unfinished basement in his family’s old home — the cold concrete, the rotting doors, the flickering light, and the strange wooden shed tucked away in the corner. When his father reveals that the shed hides a tunnel once used as part of the Underground Railroad, Curtis’s fear turns into obsession.

One rainy night, unable to sleep and desperate to conquer his nightmares, Curtis creeps downstairs with a flashlight and opens the shed. What begins as a child’s attempt to face his fear becomes a claustrophobic crawl through dark underground passages… and ends in a place far worse than anything he imagined.

Come On In — by Morgan Moore

The story keeps Come On In at its center, combining dangerous places and hidden histories, and love, family, and betrayal without losing the people, setting, and immediate threat that make the premise distinct.

This Week in Horror History for April 27–May 3 dives into a packed week of monster movies, vampire cinema, Stephen King adaptations, teen witch horror, found-footage terror, fake true crime, and killer-plant science fiction.
Inside this episode:
April 27, 1956 — Godzilla, King of the Monsters!: The American cut that helped turn Japan’s atomic monster into a worldwide horror icon, reshaping Gojira for U.S. audiences and introducing countless viewers to Godzilla’s radioactive roar, city-smashing spectacle, and nuclear-age creature-feature terror.
Where to watch (U.S., this week): Criterion Channel and Cinemax channels; rentable on Apple TV.
April 29, 1983 — The Hunger: Tony Scott’s stylish vampire cult film, starring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie, and Susan Sarandon in a cold, glamorous nightmare about immortality, obsession, desire, aging, and the terrible fine print of living forever.
Where to watch (U.S., this week): Tubi and Hoopla; rentable on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.
May 1, 1987 — Creepshow 2: Stephen King and George Romero return to EC Comics-style anthology horror with “Old Chief Wood’nhead,” “The Raft,” and “The Hitchhiker,” delivering revenge horror, lake terror, roadside dread, comic-book punishment, and one of the nastiest killer-blob sequences of the decade.

Lake Lanier’s haunted history takes center stage in this episode of Monthly Spooky, as we dive into one of America’s most infamous bodies of water: a man-made Georgia lake built over abandoned communities, graves, tragedy, folklore, and decades of eerie legends. Is Lake Lanier truly haunted, or is its chilling reputation the result of real history, preventable danger, and stories too disturbing to sink quietly beneath the surface?

Inside this episode:

• Lake Lanier’s dark origins — flooded towns, displaced communities, cemeteries, and the unsettling history behind one of the South’s most infamous lakes.
• The Lady of the Lake and ghostly legends — eerie apparitions, mysterious drownings, haunted water, and folklore that refuses to stay buried.
• Real danger beneath the ghost stories — boating accidents, disappearances, negligence, alcohol, safety concerns, and the tragic reality behind the lake’s reputation.
• Captain Dave’s haunted lake tour stories — local ghost lore, eerie sightings, and the strange appeal of Lake Lanier as a haunted destination.
• How folklore becomes reality — why places marked by tragedy often turn into legends, curses, and ghost stories.

Plus fresh spooky news:
• A haunted swingers club with paranormal investigators called in.
• Pluckley, England, the “most haunted village in Britain,” reportedly packed with ghosts.
• A hiker discovering a human skull in a remote California desert.
• Mysterious explosions and strange lights near Lake Ontario.
• A hot air balloon making an emergency backyard landing.
• A professional cornhole player arrested for murder.
• Strange space debris, meteor talk, and recent horror movie riffing.

Whether you’re here for ghost stories, haunted places, true crime, bizarre news, urban legends, dark history, or creepy comedy, this episode stands alone as a full spooky deep dive into the mysteries of Lake Lanier and the weirdest stories of the month.

So what do you think: is Lake Lanier cursed, haunted, dangerously misunderstood… or all of the above?

Unknown Broadcast presents Five Old-Time Radio Horror Stories of Love, Murder, and Suspense, an old-time radio horror selection grounded in murder, disappearance, and investigation, old-time radio suspense, and love, family, and betrayal and preserved as a complete after-dark drama.

Unknown Broadcast slips back into the Weekly Spooky feed with more old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage mystery radio, murder, supernatural bargains, gothic dread, crime, and dark escape drama. This episode opens with Mother Love, a chilling Radio Mystery Theater tale in which Paula Richards, devastated by the certainty that she can never bear a child, turns to a fortune teller and dealer in the macabre for a bargain that promises hope at a terrible price.

🕯️ Mother Love — Desperation, longing, and the supernatural curl together in a story about impossible motherhood and the danger of asking fate to bend. It is intimate, eerie, and cruel in exactly the way classic radio horror should be.
🥂 The Weakling — From the shadows comes “the unusual story of The Weakling,” following young Clyde Banning, son of a district attorney, stepping out of a nightclub after a New Year’s Eve party and into trouble that feels doomed from the start. This one has the bite of noir weakness curdling into tragedy.
🕷️ Will You Walk into My Parlor — The title alone drips with invitation and menace, and placed here it feels like a trap disguised as courtesy. It suggests seduction, danger, and the old fatal mistake of stepping willingly toward what should have been feared.
🕰️ Mr. Markham, Antique Dealer — Suspense takes us into the cold dark preservation of the past, where antique clocks, deep carpets, and old secrets rustle behind polished surfaces. By the end, it becomes a tale of murder, guilt, and the terrible practicality of hiding a body.
🌊 The Fourth Man — The night closes with Escape, inviting us to flee from Noumea in John Russell’s The Fourth Man, a story steeped in peril, survival, and the kind of desperation that makes men show their true natures. It is a strong, hard finish with salt, fear, and doom in the air.

For listeners chasing classic OTR horror, vintage suspense radio, supernatural bargains, murder stories, old-time radio crime, and eerie anthology storytelling, this transmission has all the right shadows — and some doors should never have been opened in the first place.

Cryptid horror, monster stories, demon dogs, chupacabra terror, survival horror, and futuristic creature nightmares collide in this brutal horror anthology series.

Tonight’s lineup runs from a summoned hellhound with murder on its leash, to a terrifying mystery stalking the African wild, to a school trip that turns into a face-to-face encounter with El Chupacabra, and finally to a far-future wasteland filled with mutant monstrosities and post-apocalyptic beast combat. These stories hit from every angle: occult cryptids, survival panic, creature-feature thrills, and monsters that do not care whether you believe in them.

• The Hellhowler — by Joe SolmoA paranormal investigator named James Becker is pulled into a case involving wealth, suspicion, occult magic, and a hellhound summoned from the Abyss. It’s pulpy, funny, dangerous, and packed with demon-dog dread and supernatural detective energy.
• The Monster’s Not Real — by Charles CampbellTwo wildlife documentarians in South Africa discover that the thing hunting the plains is far worse than any predator they were prepared for. This one is tense, strange, and relentless, mixing wilderness survival horror with a genuinely unnerving cryptid vibe.
• The Beast of Roca de Vaca — by Morgan MooreA class trip to a ranch becomes a full-on monster hunt when livestock start turning up dead and the legend of El Chupacabra turns out to be very real. It’s fast, fun, creepy, and loaded with classic creature-feature excitement.
• Future Taibon — by Rob FieldsIn a ruined future world, Cassillia Taibon awakens in a transformed body and immediately finds herself battling bizarre werewolf-scorpion hybrids and other horrors in the shadow of apocalypse. This one blends monster action, horror sci-fi, and Halloween-night chaos into something wild and larger than life.

From demon howls in the hills to blood-drained livestock, impossible machines, and something waiting in the grass, this collection is all about what happens when the monster is real after all—and far too close to outrun.

Richard Speck and the 1966 Chicago nurse murders remain one of the most horrifying chapters in Chicago true crimehistory. In this Best of 2025 revisit, Terrifying & True returns to one of its most gripping and disturbing deep dives: the night eight young student nurses were terrorized and murdered inside their South Side townhouse, and the long shadow that crime cast over America.

This episode follows the full arc of the case, from Speck’s violent early life and downward spiral into crime, to the sweltering July night that ended in unimaginable brutality, to the frantic manhunt, nationally watched trial, and the disturbing revelations that surfaced long after his conviction. It’s one of the most engrossing episodes we released in 2025, and absolutely one worth revisiting.

What makes this story hit so hard is not just the scale of the crime, but the human terror inside it: a house full of young women trapped with a killer, one survivor forced to hide in silence while the horror unfolded around her, and a city left reeling by what newspapers called the crime of the century. This is one of the strongest and most unforgettable Terrifying & True episodes of the year, blending historical detail, emotional weight, and true crime suspense in a case that still shocks decades later.

Inside this episode:

- The life and psychological decline of Richard Speck before the murders
- The 1966 Chicago nurse murders and the horrifying events inside the townhouse
- Corazon Amurao’s survival and the eyewitness testimony that helped identify Speck
- The massive Chicago manhunt that led to his arrest days later
- The trial, conviction, and death sentence reversal that kept the case in the headlines
- The prison scandal and later confession tapes that revealed Speck’s lack of remorse and deepened his infamy
If you’re drawn to Chicago true crime, mass murder cases, historical crime stories, and deeply researched episodes that explore both the horror of the crime and its lasting impact, this is one of the most powerful episodes Terrifying & True has ever done. This Best of 2025 re-air is the perfect chance to revisit an episode that remains as haunting, enraging, and unforgettable now as it was on first listen.

We’re telling that story tonight.
