Text usEpisode Summary — You Asked Me for My Name (James Wang King)A taut, disquieting piece that turns a simple question into a slow unravelling of identity and trust.

Text usAppalachia by H. Dalby lands hard and without apology. This is not a slow-burn mood piece; it's visceral, jagged, and indebted to the slasher tradition in the way it stages violence as both sudden and inevitable. The tale moves through small-town corridors and backroads where ordinary objects and familiar spaces become instruments of menace. Scenes snap into place with the merciless economy of a knife cut—brief, precise, and lingering in memory. The dread here is physical: the crunch of footsteps on gravel, the metallic taste of panic in the mouth, the grotesque choreography of pursuit and escape. It reads like a nightmare filmed on 16mm, all harsh angles and unforgiving light, and it leaves the listener with the same cold residue a good slasher leaves on the skin.What makes the story effective is Dalby's refusal to sentimentalize the violence. The gore isn't indulgent spectacle; it's a functional element of a world where danger is mundane and cruelty wears everyday clothes. The characters are given just enough detail to make their fates matter, then the narrative tightens and advances without wasting sympathy. Listeners who expect catharsis will find none; instead there's the grinding truth of vulnerability exposed and the stubborn, ugly logic that sometimes governs small communities when something feral wakes up among them.A few production notes and reminders: the music for tonight's episode is original and written and performed by Empress— their score undercuts and amplifies the horror in all the right places, and their work ethic on this run has been outstanding. Production and episode logistics were handled by Mickie Eberz, who keeps the whole project moving.

Text usTonight's episode delivered a tight, unnerving ride: I Was Kidnapped by My Doppelgänger, courtesy of our friend Woundlicker. The piece asks a simple, destabilizing question about identity and agency and then spends its short run time turning that question inside out. The pacing kept the tension taut—no frills, no padding—so the uncanny work its slow, precise erosion on the listener. It's the kind of story that leaves you replaying small moments in your head long after the episode ends.On the production side, this one was clean and deliberate. The narration leaned into restraint rather than melodrama, letting the story's weirdness do the heavy lifting while the delivery kept the listener hooked. Empress provided the musical backbone—subtle cues where needed, an unsettling undercurrent that never shouted but always suggested the wrongness behind the surface. Mickie Eberz held the whole thing together in the edit, so it reads and sounds like the finished product you expect.If you liked tonight, a couple quick ways to help: rate and review the show, share the episode with someone who likes being kept up past their bedtime, and consider subscribing to Premium for the archive and the raffle.

Text usTonight's episode centers on With Graveyard Weeds and Wolfsbane Seeds by Seanan McGuire, delivered straight from my throat to your headphones. This installment keeps the pace tight and the tone intimate — less theatrical scare, more the slow, personal kind of unease that settles in your chest and won't leave until the lights are back on. It's the sort of story that thrives in a small room with a single lamp, and tonight we let it breathe without dressing it up.On the production side: the music tonight is all original, written and performed by Empress — I keep saying it because it's true: their output and professionalism on this run has been flat-out impressive. Mickie Eberz produced the episode and stitched everything together so this whole madness sounds like an actual show instead of me shouting into a mic. I narrate as Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis), and as always the goal was to serve the story cleanly and keep the listening experience tight.If you liked tonight, help keep the lights on: rate and review the show on your app of choice, share the episode with someone who likes being kept awake, and consider subscribing to Premium (the raffle winner will be drawn from the premium email list).

Text usTonight's episode drifts in on a slow, steady wind: The Haunted Trailer, a lean, precise story by Robert Arthur that refuses to do anything flashy. It's not about rattling chains or sudden shrieks so much as the patient, corrosive way a place can keep score. The trailer in this tale collects the small offenses of living—old arguments, unpaid debts, the way neighbors glance away—and over time those tiny things accrete into something that behaves like memory and then like malice. The horror here is domestic and stubborn; it sneaks through the floorboards and lingers in the pattern of a cracked windowpane. Listen close and the ordinary noises start to sound like evidence.I read it tonight with the kind of low, tired attention the story asks for: not because it needs to be shouted at you, but because the pressure works better that way. The story finds its power in accumulation—details piled on details until the house (or trailer, in this case) becomes not merely setting but actor. It's a reminder that the places we live in are not neutral, that architecture keeps grudges, and that sometimes what haunts you is simply what you left unfinished.Musically, this episode is underpinned by the new sound of the run: Empress, who signed on at the end of the summer and have already shaped the way these nights feel. Their compositions here are spare where they need to be spare, and insistent where the story tightens its grip. Producer Mickie Eberz is responsible for patching all of this together—booking, editing, and turning my chaos into something that sounds like a finished show. If you enjoyed tonight's mood, tip your hat to Mickie and to Empress; they're the reason this series sounds like anything at all.A reminder: the Halloween special is running every night at midnight for the month—at least thirty-one episodes.

Text usTonight's installment brought us into the cool, aching sorrow of “Funeral Birds” by M. Rickert, a story that feels like a single long, haunted breath. Rickert's prose moves slow and deliberate, folding small, intimate details into an ever-widening sense of loss until the landscape itself seems to remember grief. The tale follows characters whose lives are quietly eroded by absence and memory; birds arrive and behave like elegies, ordinary things become uncanny, and the reader slides effortlessly from the domestic into the uncanny without a shove. It's not horror that screams—it's horror that lingers in the margins, in the sound of wings at dusk and in the way people carry the weight of what they cannot say aloud.The narrative's power is in its accumulation: a sequence of domestic fragments that, when stitched together, reveal an emotional logic as inevitable and terrible as a tide. Rickert is working in the small motions—gestures, rituals, a funeral procession, the way neighbors glance away—and those small motions swell into meaning. The atmosphere is elegiac rather than lurid; the fear Rickert conjures is the old kind, the one that sits beside you at the table and refuses to leave. Listeners who came expecting jump-scares will find something subtler and deeper: a slow, unavoidable ache that turns ordinary birds into portent and ordinary grief into something almost mythic.Tonally, the story fits the Halloween special not by offering gore or spectacle but by demonstrating another face of the season: the way endings gather around us like migrating flocks, how memory and mortality can coalesce into a kind of cold, beautiful terror. It's a night-walking story, best heard with the lights low and the windows shut, the kind that leaves you thinking about neighbors, about little civic rituals, and about how closely tenderness and menace can sit together. The emotional tail of the piece doesn't resolve into tidy catharsis; instead it leaves a residue—an image, a sound, a bird's cry—that will hang in the mind long after the episode ends.This was a beautifully restrained piece for tonight's run—quiet, aching, and precise—an invitation to sit with sorrow rather than outrun it. If you liked the atmosphere here, come back tomorrow for another night's offering; this series is built to show horror's many faces, from the grotesque to the heartbreakingly ordinary.Credits: This episode was produced by Mickie Eberz and narrated by Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis).

Text usIn tonight's story, we journey into the untamed wilderness with The Valley of the Beasts, written by Algernon Blackwood. Here, nature is not a backdrop but a living, breathing force—one that watches, waits, and punishes those who dare to tread too far into its shadowed heart. This haunting tale reminds us, as Aldo Leopold once wrote, of “a fierce green fire dying in her eyes”—that strange, eternal knowledge belonging only to the wolf and the mountain.CreditsProduced by Mickie EberzNarrated by Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)Story by Algernon BlackwoodAll original music written and performed by EmpressClosing track: I Fucked the Devil Once by EmpressSupport the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43

Text usIn this episode of Anthology of Horror, we dig deep into the haunted history of Colorado—a land as drenched in blood as it is crowned in beauty. From the sacred landscapes of the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho, to the atrocities of Sand Creek and the retaliatory wars that followed, the story of Colorado is layered with tragedy and restless spirits. We move through the outlaw boomtowns of Leadville and Cripple Creek, where gambling debts were paid in blood and brothels left their shadows, down into the mines where Tommyknockers and curses echoed beneath the rock.The 20th century brought new horrors: labor wars that left children and families dead at Ludlow, hospitals and prisons that turned suffering into industry, and the Stanley Hotel where ghosts still waltz in empty ballrooms. From haunted highways to skinwalker stories in the San Luis Valley, to the infernal reputation of Riverdale Road, Colorado emerges not just as a state, but as a monument of memory and death—where every ridge and gulch carries stories the living can't forget and the dead won't release.This episode was produced by Mickie Eberz, with scoring and the closing song “Ghost Town” by Empress.Support the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43

Text usIn this episode of Anthology of Horror, we plunge into some of the darkest chapters of the twentieth century: the atrocities committed by Imperial Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War. From the systematic slaughter and sexual violence of the Nanjing Massacre to the grotesque human experimentation carried out by Unit 731, this is a story of cruelty without parallel.Told with unflinching honesty but delivered with solemn restraint, the episode paints a vivid historical picture of how Japan's imperial ambitions turned ordinary men into monsters—and why denial and forgetting are just as dangerous as the crimes themselves.Listener discretion is strongly advised.
