October 22, 2024 Do You Even Movie? | Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981): TV-Movie Revenge Horror
A murdered man, a silent scarecrow and a town unwilling to face its guilt make “Dark Night of the Scarecrow” (1981) a haunting Halloween revenge story. Henrique Couto and David Denoyer discuss Frank De Felitta’s television film, Larry Drake’s performance as Bubba Ritter and Charles Durning’s menacing Otis Hazelrigg. They explore the Southern Gothic atmosphere and the way implied violence unsettles without relying on constant gore. This Do You Even Movie? conversation includes full spoilers and discussion of the ending.

October 21, 2024 Terrifying & True | The Chupacabra — From Puerto Rico’s Goat-Sucker to America’s Mange Coyotes
How did Puerto Rico’s spined “goat-sucker” become a hairless canine in American headlines? Terrifying & True follows the chupacabra from reported livestock attacks and sightings in 1995 to later encounters in the mainland United States. Henrique Couto explores witness descriptions, the legend’s spread and investigations of animals presented as evidence. Some celebrated specimens proved to be familiar canids, often with mange; that finding is distinct from proving a supernatural creature exists. A deep dive into modern cryptid folklore and the changing shape of a monster.

October 20, 2024 Unknown Broadcast | The Vanishing Lady, The Skull That Walked, Dead Ernest & No Hiding Place — Four Radio Mysteries
A missing mother, a threatening skull and a man who appears dead lead into four vintage radio mysteries. Unknown Broadcast presents “The Vanishing Lady,” “The Skull That Walked,” “Dead Ernest” and “No Hiding Place.” An inexplicable disappearance, a sinister object, catalepsy and blackmail make appearances dangerously unreliable across more than two hours of old-time radio suspense. These dramas move between seemingly supernatural events and human schemes, inviting you to follow the clues while wondering which familiar explanation will fail next.

October 19, 2024 Special Halloween Hours — Strickfield Video Night-Shift Monster Horror
Charlee Brewster takes an evening job at Strickfield Video, a rental store in a downtown that still loves its old-fashioned pleasures. Then Halloween brings unusual customers, unfamiliar rules and a shift that demands more than finding the right movie. Rob Fields’s “Special Halloween Hours” turns a nostalgic video-store job into a supernatural encounter, where recognizing a monster on a cassette cover is easier than serving one across the counter. Charlee wanted extra money and something to do after class. The holiday hours come with a much stranger assignment.

October 17, 2024 Stalk: A Werewolf Date Turns Deadly in the Canadian Wilderness
Joshua Fox comes home from Toronto for reading week expecting friends, hockey and perhaps a little romance. Meeting Tracey Kidd near Sauble Beach gives him a much more dangerous kind of excitement. Mike Ashkewe’s “Stalk” turns an Ontario homecoming into a werewolf story where attraction and predatory instinct are difficult to separate. Set around Owen Sound and the Lake Huron shoreline, this darkly funny creature tale follows a lonely student whose wish for an unforgettable encounter is about to be answered with teeth.

Rob Fields’s “The Last Carnovasch” continues the night after the Cry Baby Bridge adventure, uncovering a family curse with consequences that reach across decades. This feature-length supernatural mystery combines haunted attractions, time travel and a rescue that could change more than one life. Mona may be the key—but the past has its own plans for her.

October 15, 2024 Do You Even Movie? | Scary Movie (1991): John Hawkes Halloween Funhouse Horror-Comedy
Before the parody franchise, “Scary Movie” (1991) sent John Hawkes into a Texas Halloween funhouse with an escaped killer possibly on the loose. Henrique Couto and David Denoyer revisit Daniel Erickson’s regional horror comedy, its anxious protagonist and the shifting boundary between staged scares and actual danger. They discuss the attraction’s atmosphere, Hawkes’s early performance and the film’s unsettling turns. This Do You Even Movie? conversation includes full spoilers for the 1991 film and its ending.

October 14, 2024 Terrifying & True | Ohio Grassman: Salt Fork Bigfoot Sightings, Footprints & Appalachian Lore
Ohio’s Grassman legend brings Bigfoot close to home. Terrifying & True explores reported encounters around Salt Fork State Park, Hocking Hills and the Appalachian foothills, where witnesses describe towering figures, strange calls and oversized footprints. Henrique Couto follows the stories, the search for evidence and the communities built around the possibility of a creature in the woods. Sightings and ambiguous traces are treated as claims, not proof of an undiscovered animal. A long-form look at Sasquatch lore, local fear and the pull of Ohio’s forests.

This old-time radio collection moves through supernatural horror and psychological suspense as its characters confront things they cannot explain—and secrets they cannot safely keep.
