  • After Christmas Horror Stories: Scary Christmas Novella Double Feature
    A mirror produces doubles that want to replace the living, and a vampire brings a dangerous appetite to Strickfield. Mirror Images and A Vampire's Holiday by Rob Fields form this Weekly Spooky Christmas horror double feature. Over three hours of fiction carry the season from uncanny reflections to a showdown, with two complete novellas presented back to back. Familiar faces become unreliable and holiday shelter offers scant comfort when the threat can enter your home. Keep the winter atmosphere going with sinister doubles, vampire terror, and Christmas stories whose cheer cannot last.

  • Otis Slays Christmas: Killer Santa Slasher at Kmart
    Otis Kilgore believes a Kmart cashier's routine greetings are secret love messages. In Etawah, Oklahoma, in 1996, a change to his shopping ritual sends that obsession toward a Christmas rampage. Otis Slays Christmas by David O'Hanlon turns last-minute retail stress into a Weekly Spooky killer-Santa slasher. Cashier Diane wants the attention to stop, while a blizzard and a store closing for the holiday narrow everyone's options. Dark humor and brutal violence collide beneath the Blue Light Specials. For Otis, customer service has become a promise nobody made—and he expects it kept.

  • Terror at Christmas: Jack Scratch’s Hellish Holiday!
    Jack Scratch invites you behind the scenes of Hell, where Christmas decorations hide a system of punishment. Terror at Christmas by Keith Tomlin presents The Santa Experiment, Christmas Bones, and The Furnace in one Weekly Spooky holiday anthology. An axe-bearing Santa, a doorway above a mountain of skulls, and an impossible arrival in Hell's intake line test the rules that keep torment running. Dark humor meets demonic horror as memories and unwelcome visitors disrupt the routine. Follow Jack through three stories where the staff may have as much reason to be afraid as the souls.

  • Terrifying & True | Santa’s Stolen Bones: The Medieval Relic Heist of St. Nicholas
    In 1087, sailors from Bari took the relics of St. Nicholas from his tomb in Myra. Terrifying & True follows the medieval theft behind one strand of Santa Claus history, from the grieving local community to the new shrine in Italy. The episode explores 'furta sacra,' rival claims from Venice, anatomical studies, and the liquid known as the saint's manna. Religious belief, political power, and disputed ownership shape a story removed from modern Christmas cards. What did taking a saint's bones mean to the people who lost them—and to the city that built its identity around their arrival?
