  • Erasure: A Cursed VHS That Makes People Disappear on Halloween
    A cursed VHS turns Halloween movie night into a nightmare of vanishing people and rewritten memories. In Morgan Moore’s “Erasure,” seven-year-old Joey helps his brother Chris and a friend sneak a forbidden horror rental out of Binford Video. What plays on the tape is far worse than an R-rated movie. When Chris disappears, Joey must confront the shopkeeper who knows what the static can do. This feature-length horror novella mixes video-store nostalgia, occult secrets and a younger brother’s longing to be noticed. What remains of someone when even their family forgets?

    Why is Friday the 13th considered unlucky? Henrique Couto and Michelle explore the superstition in Monthly Spooky’s September 2024 conversation. Strange news includes Drifter, a cat rescued from a Minnesota sewer, and the death of Hvaldimir, the beluga nicknamed the Russian “spy whale.” The hosts react to the reports circulating at the time, alongside eerie ghost-photo claims.

Unknown Broadcast presents Sam Dann’s “The Twelfth Juror,” a CBS Radio Mystery Theater courtroom mystery about coercion, a secret affair and a memory that will not quite surface.

  • The Monster’s Not Real: An Unseen Predator Hunts Filmmakers in South Africa
    Something is crushing the wildlife around a remote South African film camp. Gwen Faulkner and Sarah Mathis came to document big cats; now even the lions are prey. Charles Campbell’s “The Monster’s Not Real” strands the filmmakers between mutilated animals, a violent storm and a predator that does not fit anything their cameras have recorded before. As strange sounds circle their shelter, disbelief offers little protection. This science-fiction creature horror story puts an intimate relationship under pressure in a wilderness where familiar predators are suddenly the least of their worries.

  • Terrifying & True | Fouke Monster: Boggy Creek Sightings & the Arkansas Bigfoot Legend
    The Fouke Monster brought Bigfoot-style sightings, strange tracks and a wave of attention to rural Arkansas. Terrifying & True explores the Ford family’s reported 1971 encounter, skeptical explanations and the swamp legend that inspired Charles B. Pierce’s “The Legend of Boggy Creek.” Written by Morgan Moore, this episode follows the creature from local testimony to drive-in horror fame, keeping eyewitness claims distinct from verified evidence. Was something unknown roaming the woods near Fouke, or was a regional legend growing with every retelling? We're telling that story tonight.

    A horror writer’s deadline becomes a monster he cannot stop imagining.

Unknown Broadcast presents “The Author and the Thing,” a Lights Out drama that makes its own creator part of the nightmare. Skeptical visitors cannot understand what is happening, even as the danger grows. This vintage radio tale turns writer’s block, creative exhaustion and disbelief into a very personal creature feature.
