  • Unknown Broadcast | The Corpse Nobody Loved — A Vanishing Body from Inner Sanctum
    Anne Winslow misses her train and takes a taxi—only to find a corpse beside her. The driver leaves it in her isolated house, but by the time the police arrive, the body has vanished. Unknown Broadcast presents “The Corpse Nobody Loved,” a vintage Inner Sanctum radio mystery that turns a routine journey into a trap of doubt and suspicion. With the phone lines down and no one to back up her story, Anne must work out who is manipulating her. Listen for old-time radio suspense built around an impossible passenger and the unsettling problem of proving what you have seen.

  • Hop-Frog by Edgar Allan Poe: Masquerade Revenge Against a Cruel King
    A cruel king treats his court jester’s suffering as entertainment. When that cruelty reaches Hop-Frog’s companion Trippetta, an elaborate masquerade offers the jester a chance to design a performance of his own. Edgar Allan Poe’s “Hop-Frog” is a Gothic revenge story about humiliation, power and the danger of believing someone is too small to resist. Henrique Couto narrates the complete tale for Weekly Spooky, preserving the suspense of a royal celebration whose costumes carry a dreadful purpose. The king wants a spectacle; Hop-Frog knows how to provide one.

  • Matriarch: A Sorority’s Initiation into an Immortal Ghoul Family
    A sorority night out at the Strickfield Drive-In leads Jaxey Jynx and her friends toward a family with an appetite for new members. What begins with flirting and a movie becomes an invitation into something older, darker and harder to leave than campus life. Rob Fields’s “Matriarch” follows Jaxey, Renny Stafford and Paulette Peterson into a supernatural horror story of ghoul kinship and dangerous belonging. Being welcomed into a family can feel like a privilege—until you discover what that family expects you to become.

  • Terrifying & True | Indrid Cold, the Grinning Man — West Virginia’s Strangest UFO Visitor
    In November 1966, Woodrow Derenberger reported meeting a grinning stranger near Mineral Wells, West Virginia. The visitor, he said, communicated without speaking and gave the name Indrid Cold. Terrifying & True explores the encounter, the stories that followed and the figure’s place in UFO lore and the wider Mothman mystery. Were these accounts evidence of something extraordinary, a misunderstanding or a legend taking shape? Henrique Couto traces the claims and their unsettling legacy without treating a witness’s extraordinary story as established fact.

  • Bite Me: Giant Mutant Fleas Turn an Ozarks Reunion into Survival Horror
    A reunion at an Ozarks cabin has an unexpected guest: something small enough to live on a rabbit, until it isn’t. Giant mutant fleas turn a weekend with old friends into a struggle against predators built to bite, cling and multiply. David O’Hanlon’s “Bite Me” brings creature-feature horror and dark humor to a woodland getaway where the surrounding wildlife signals a much bigger problem. The group came to reconnect, but staying together may be their only chance when the parasites stop behaving like an irritation and start behaving like hunters.

  • Terrifying & True | Bloody Mary: Mirror Ritual, Mary Worth & the History Behind the Legend
    Say “Bloody Mary” into a dark mirror, and a sleepover dare becomes a test of how much you believe. Terrifying & True explores the mirror ritual, its changing rules and the stories used to explain the figure waiting in the glass. From Mary Worth to suggested links with Queen Mary I and Elizabeth Báthory, Henrique Couto follows competing origin stories without claiming that any one historical woman definitively created the legend. Discover how a simple challenge became a lasting urban myth—and why watching your own reflection can become so unsettling.
