Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween episodes

  • A Zombie’s Christmas — Mad Science and a Strickfield Undead Rampage
    Strickfield’s secretive Blue Ribbons have captured zombies for study, but keeping the undead under control proves much harder than observing them. Scientist Vickie Van Wert’s work and Rayleen Hollow’s dangerous involvement set the stage for a Christmas outbreak no family gathering is prepared to handle. Rob Fields’s “A Zombie’s Christmas” combines mad science, flesh-eating horror and the consequences of treating monsters as research material. In a village already crowded with supernatural secrets, one holiday experiment threatens to spill into the streets.

  • Unknown Broadcast | The Lost Ship — Desert Treasure, Eerie Islands & Vincent Price Suspense
    A ship appears where no ship should be, an island offers an unsettling reunion, and an auction purchase carries a hidden danger.

The collection moves from impossible discoveries to a condemned prisoner’s desperate experience of time, with voices including Ozzie Nelson, Harriet Hilliard and Vincent Price. Four old-time radio dramas make escape, curiosity and apparent good fortune difficult to trust.

  • The Real First Thanksgiving — A Pilgrim Cannibal Horror Story
    A Thanksgiving invitation leads Dan Mullins toward the Billington family and a meal with a horrifying history. Bruce Haney’s “The Real First Thanksgiving” twists Pilgrim imagery and family tradition into a gruesome cannibal horror story, where the people welcoming a guest have their own idea of hospitality. This is fictional holiday terror, not an account of the historical first Thanksgiving. Settle in for a dark, extended tale of captivity, dangerous hosts and the dread of discovering what a family has been passing down at its table.

This Do You Even Movie? episode serves up a full-spoiler conversation about a cult Thanksgiving horror favorite.

  • Monthly Spooky | Spectral Harassment, Dangerous Giraffes and Christmas Hauntings!
    An oarfish washes ashore, a toddler has a startling encounter with a giraffe, and an enormous cheese theft joins the weird-news menu. Henrique and Michelle’s November 2024 Monthly Spooky conversation also visits haunted-history claims and Arkansas’s Crescent Hotel as the holidays approach. From a melting Lincoln wax sculpture to unsettling museum stories, the hosts trade reactions, questions and dark humor across a month’s worth of unusual headlines. An archive episode of paranormal conversation and strange news with plenty of room for the unexpected.

  • Unknown Broadcast | The Covered Bridge — Time-Slip Ghost Story and Rasputin’s Cursed Rapier
    A honeymoon drive through a New Hampshire covered bridge carries a newlywed toward a different time. In “The Covered Bridge,” CBS Radio Mystery Theater turns a quiet landmark into a threat to a young woman’s sense of reality. Then Inner Sanctum’s “The Edge of Death” brings Rasputin’s rapier into a sinister waterfront encounter. Unknown Broadcast pairs a time-slip ghost story with a cursed-weapon mystery for more than an hour of vintage radio suspense. Two familiar objects—a bridge and a blade—open paths their owners cannot safely predict.

  • A Dream Within a Dream by Edgar Allan Poe: Impermanence, Loss & Time Slipping Away
    Can anything we love be held onto, or does it slip away like sand? Edgar Allan Poe’s “A Dream Within a Dream” moves from a farewell to a desperate struggle on a wave-battered shore, turning a few brief stanzas into an unsettling question about reality and loss. Henrique Couto reads the complete poem in this short Weekly Spooky presentation. A quiet moment of Gothic poetry for listeners drawn to Poe’s imagery, the fear of time passing and the fragile boundary between what we experience and what we can keep. Published in 1849, its doubt still lingers.

  • The Legend of Oopsie Poopsie - Dark Humor Meets Grotesque Horror
    The locals in New Ellsworth have a story about Oopsie Poopsie. Jon expects small-town eccentricity when he moves to the Adirondacks, but warnings about a grotesque, oversized infant suggest the joke may have something awful behind it. Joe Solmo’s “The Legend of Oopsie Poopsie” turns lumber-country gossip into a creature-feature nightmare, mixing absurd humor with bodily horror and the fear of discovering why the neighbors take a ridiculous name seriously. Some local legends are best heard from a safe distance. Jon may have moved too close.

  • Terrifying & True | The Chicago Tylenol Murders — Cyanide, Panic & Tamper-Evident Packaging
    In 1982, seven people in the Chicago area died after taking cyanide-laced Tylenol capsules. An everyday medicine became a source of national fear, triggering a massive investigation and changes in product packaging. Terrifying & True follows the victims, the search for the person responsible and the extortion demand that complicated the case. James Lewis was convicted of extortion, not the murders—a distinction essential to understanding the investigation. Explore the unresolved poisonings and the legacy of tamper-evident packaging with narrator Henrique Couto.
