October 14, 2023 Six More Devious Tales of Halloween | Headless Riders, Pumpkin Monsters & Deadly Games
Six Halloween horror stories turn familiar October sights into threats: a headless rider, a pumpkin monster, a grinning figure, and games that go too far. Hear “Dullahan” by Morgan Moore; “Origin of the Pumpkin Man” by Charles Campbell; “The Grinner” by Henrique Couto; “Ghost in the Graveyard” by Rob Fields; “Tricks and Treats” by Keith Tomlin; and “The Night Stocker” by Shane Migliavacca. This extended anthology moves from Irish folklore and haunted-bridge terror to sinister trick-or-treating and a supermarket slasher. Which Halloween tradition would you dare to try?

October 13, 2023 Future Taibon | A Vampire Wakes as a Machine in a Monster-Ruled 2099
Cassillia Taibon wakes in 2099 with a vampire’s memories and a machine’s body. The world outside her crypt has fallen to Hellweaver, leaving Strickfield abandoned and monsters roaming the ruins. Her new systems offer extraordinary power, but surviving scorpion-tailed werewolves and a tyrant’s sacrifices will take more than metal beneath synthetic skin. “Future Taibon” sends a resurrected vampire hybrid into post-apocalyptic horror, where her mission may be the last chance to change a conquered world. How do you fight evil after it has already won? By Rob Fields.

October 09, 2023 Terrifying & True | Yoshihiro Hattori: The Halloween Wrong-Door Shooting in Louisiana
Yoshihiro “Yoshi” Hattori was a sixteen-year-old Japanese exchange student looking for a Halloween party when he reached the wrong house in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. On October 17, 1992, homeowner Rodney Peairs shot him after a confrontation at the door. Terrifying & True examines the mistaken address, cultural misunderstanding, and sharply different criminal and civil outcomes: Peairs was acquitted of manslaughter, then held liable in the civil case. How did a teenager’s night of celebration become a tragedy that reached families on both sides of the Pacific?

We're telling that story tonight.

October 08, 2023 Unknown Broadcast | A Night in Murder’s Den & Spiders: Wax Museum Killers and Amazon Terror
A wax museum’s murderers seem to watch an overnight guest, while an enormous spider offers two desperate men a dangerous chance at riches. Beyond Midnight’s “A Night in Murder’s Den” follows journalist Raymond Hewson into Mariner’s Waxworks, where one killer’s eyes seem much too alive. In Lights Out’s “Spiders,” Joe and Dixie try to capture an Amazon creature they should have fled. Unknown Broadcast pairs old-time radio suspense with jungle monster horror: two stories in which the prospect of a payday keeps men close to something they already know they should fear.
