October 31, 2024 The Graveyard Shift — Haunted Halloween Radio Broadcast Horror
Halloween night at WHNT means another late shift for broadcast assistant Nate. The jack-o’-lantern is in the lobby, the call-in show is on the air, and the station sits just far enough from town to feel alone. Then the calls begin turning the broadcast into something Nate and his coworkers cannot control. Shane Migliavacca’s “The Graveyard Shift” is a haunted-radio horror story set in upstate New York, where voices on the line make a familiar studio feel like hostile territory. Stay tuned—but be careful about assuming the person calling is still out there.
