SUBURBAKNIGHT: Act Three Walter Knope has spent most of his life avoiding confrontation. That is about to become difficult. Walter, Samantha and Bobby Joe cross the street armed with a sword, a crossbow, a mace, a revolver and one deeply impractical suit of medieval armor. Richard is waiting. So is the rest of the neighborhood. Inside Richard's house they discover the party has evolved into something considerably less HOA-approved. Music. Neon. Blood. An orgy full of succubi. Richard sitting above it all like Satan's sexiest homeowners association president. Samantha asks where her daughter is. Then shoots Richard through the eye with a crossbow. It barely slows him down. Written by Nick Bannister, SUBURBAKNIGHT reaches its gloriously unhinged conclusion as Walter's fight to save his family becomes a full-scale supernatural war over everything he thought he had already lost. Richard separates them. Walter gets beaten nearly unconscious. Samantha is pulled into a seductive nightmare built from everything she thinks she wants. And Bobby Joe does what any legendary demon hunter would do when confronted with actual demons. He runs. Unfortunately, Richard isn't finished with him either. Bobby Joe finds himself inside the greatest fantasy of his life: back on the set of Terror Vision, surrounded by beautiful women telling him he's brilliant. Even Bobby Joe eventually realizes something is wrong. When the illusion breaks, he finds Mia. Or at least something wearing Mia. One conveniently placed antique mirror later, Bobby Joe finally discovers that some of his monster-movie bullshit may actually be useful. For perhaps the first time in his life, Bobby Joe Williams earns the title: Demon Hunter. Mia is safe. Her parents aren't. So Bobby Joe locks her in his van and goes back inside. Walter and Bobby Joe reunite, fight their way through Richard's newly demonic neighbors and discover something hidden beneath the perfect suburban house. A passageway. An underground chamber. And portraits proving Richard has been doing this for centuries. At the end of the tunnel, Walter finds Samantha. Richard has already gotten to her. Now Walter has to do something harder than fighting a demon. He has to remind his wife why she loved him in the first place. College. Their first night together. Bringing Mia home. Losing his father. Twenty years of marriage, mistakes, resentment, forgiveness and everything that somehow survived underneath it. For once, Walter gets the words right. And Richard discovers that a disappointing middle-aged husband with an antique sword, a pissed-off wife and a washed-up horror host can be surprisingly difficult to kill. What follows involves swords, guns, fire, a full-size demon, one extremely unfortunate anatomical injury and Bobby Joe's panel van. Because sometimes saving your marriage takes work. Sometimes it takes therapy. And sometimes it takes blowing up an incubus.

SUBURBAKNIGHT: Act Two Walter Knope has finally discovered the one thing worse than suspecting your new neighbor is a sex demon. Being right. Inside Richard's immaculate house, Walter gets the confirmation he was looking for. The Maitlands are dead. Richard isn't human. And he isn't just interested in Samantha. He wants everything Walter has. Walter tries to warn Sam. It goes badly. What starts as an argument about Richard quickly becomes an argument about money, sex, failure, jealousy and every other thing a married couple has been politely not saying out loud. Sam packs a bag. Walter, terrified Richard will get to her, practically helps her leave. Written by Nick Bannister, SUBURBAKNIGHT is a wicked suburban horror-comedy about marriage, masculinity and what happens when your midlife crisis actually grows horns. Walter needs someone who understands monsters. Enter Bobby Joe Williams. Local horror host. Full-time drunk. Part-time monster expert. Possibly the least reassuring person you could want standing between your family and eternal damnation. Bobby Joe confirms the bad news. Richard is an incubus. He feeds on souls, controls his victims through desire and, unfortunately, appears to be immortal. Meanwhile, Richard has already started remaking the neighborhood. Walter goes looking for Andy and instead finds him dead in the bathtub, his wife Alli transformed into something considerably less neighborly. Walter barely escapes with his life. Then Samantha comes home. Richard is waiting. This time, Sam sees him too. When Richard finally drops the charm and shows them what he really is, he offers Walter everything he ever wanted. Money. Freedom. A fresh start. All he wants in return is Samantha. Walter says no. Then Mia introduces Richard's face to a medieval mace. For a moment, it feels like the Knopes may actually have this thing under control. Then Richard takes their daughter. Now Walter and Sam are done running. They need Mia back. They need help. Unfortunately, the closest thing they have to a professional is Bobby Joe Williams in boxer shorts drinking margarita straight from a blender pitcher. So they do what any responsible parents would do. They raid the failed antique business. Crossbow. Mace. Axe. Sword. Armor. Walter's junk has finally found a purpose. And across the street, Richard is waiting. Starring Darin Toonder, Jim O'Heir, Jade Tailor, Jack Daniel, Rob Fitzgerald, Logan Laurel, Emily Brolin, Ashley Platz, and Zeke Alton.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 275 — The Demon in the ForestA man enters the forest believing that God will protect him. He leaves wondering whether God was ever listening.Matthieu is a charcoal burner living beside an ancient forest. He knows the woods, respects them and understands that they are far older than his village, his church and the people who believe they own them.But one evening, while walking home to his wife and children, Matthieu encounters something impossible.A creature with too many limbs.A thing with too many eyes.A demon—or something far older than the word demon.At first, Matthieu believes his Christian faith protects him. When the creature recoils from his prayers, he becomes convinced that God has given him power over the monster.But the creature isn't trying to kill him.It is leading him deeper into the forest.Then Matthieu hears the sound of his daughter crying.And when the creature finally speaks, it uses his daughter's voice.What follows is not simply an encounter with a monster. It is an attack on Matthieu's faith, his certainty and his belief that God is watching over him.Because sometimes the most terrifying question isn't:"Does God exist?"It is:"If God exists… why did He let this happen?"Meanwhile, deep within the forest, Belphastus is watching.The ancient sorcerer feeds upon human fear, hatred, misery and despair. He doesn't need to kill Matthieu. He only needs to make him doubt.And Matthieu's doubt is delicious.Belphastus has discovered something more powerful than fear: a crack in someone's faith.As the villagers welcome Matthieu home, Belphastus watches from the darkness and begins to understand that something far more dangerous than a monster has been created.Doubt.Fear.Despair.And the knowledge that whatever lives in the forest may have followed Matthieu home.Werewolf the Podcast: A Serial (Killer) Drama is a dark horror fiction podcast combining supernatural horror, dark fantasy, historical fiction, mythology and very British black humour.New episodes weekly.

Send us Fan MailWerewolf the Podcast: Belphastus the Sorcerer Revealed | Ancient Evil, Dark Magic & Horror (Episode 273)Belphastus the Unclaimed finally reveals the horrifying truth about what he is — an ancient sorcerer who has survived for thousands of years by feeding on human fear, hatred, misery and despair.In this dark fantasy horror episode of Werewolf the Podcast, Belphastus tells his story in his own words. Long before modern civilisation, he discovered that human suffering could become a source of supernatural power. Fear made him stronger. Hatred gave him energy. But despair was the greatest nourishment of all.Over thousands of years, Belphastus learned that he did not need to create every war, plague or tragedy himself. He only needed to manipulate people. A suggestion placed in the right mind could turn neighbours against one another, transform fear into hatred and turn hatred into violence.But Christianity presented Belphastus with an unexpected enemy: love, forgiveness and hope.His encounter with Bernard of Clairvaux, the medieval Christian saint and Cistercian monk, becomes one of the most important moments in his long existence. Bernard does not respond to Belphastus with hatred or revenge. Instead, he offers compassion and forgiveness — something Belphastus finds far more dangerous.Now hiding in the ancient Brotonne Forest, Belphastus begins rebuilding his supernatural power. With the help of Pier, he prepares an ancient stone circle and uses a forgotten forest spirit to create something monstrous.His plan is simple.Create fear.Turn fear into anger.Turn anger into hatred.Turn hatred into violence.And turn violence into despair.Because despair belongs to Belphastus.Featuring ancient sorcery, dark magic, medieval horror, Christian mythology, forest spirits, supernatural monsters and the continuing mythology of Werewolf the Podcast, this episode reveals the origins and methods of one of the series' most dangerous characters.Belphastus has spent thousands of years manipulating humanity.Now he is ready to begin again.And somewhere in the ancient forest, something is waiting to be unleashed.Werewolf the Podcast: A Serial (Killer) Drama is a dark horror fiction podcast combining supernatural horror, dark fantasy, mythology, historical fiction and very British black humour.Written by Fenrir Thorvaldsen and Gregory Alexander-Sharp.

This exploration of what makes stories resonate—fear of the unknown and the supernatural—remains relevant today, as contemporary audiences continue to seek thrills in the dark corners of imagination. Lovecraft's reflections on the power of horror narratives remind us of our enduring fascination with the uncanny, making this audiobook a compelling listen for both fans of literature and lovers of the eerie.

When a local teenager receives a personal invitation from the mayor's influential family, he assumes he's simply been singled out for a special occasion.

Rigor Mortis (2013), When Evil Lurks (2023), and Vicious (2025) Pretty much from the very beginning of horror cinema—or cinema in general—supernatural horror has been part of the storytelling tradition. Granted, many of those early films were adaptations of famous works of literature dealing with ghosts, vampires, and other unworldly creatures, but more than a century later, the supernatural remains a huge gateway for creative filmmakers to walk through in order to create something interesting, and sometimes something genuinely new. Many modern supernatural horror films deal with grief and how we cope with it. Some might call it cathartic, while in other films, it's just downright mean! In the three movies we discuss in this episode, you'll get a taste of all of that—and more. A couple of these films hit especially hard and will leave an impact on you days after the credits roll. You'll either be running to tell your closest friends that they absolutely need to watch them, or you won't say a word for fear that someone might ask, "Is everything okay at home?" But we think that films that can hit that hard deserve to be applauded. So, if you're game, take that next step- and hit play. Movies mentioned in this episode: The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015), The Boxer's Omen (1983), A Chinese Ghost Story (1987), The Dark and the Wicked (2020), Dream Home (2010), Errementari (2017), Exhuma (2024), The Exorcist (1973), Friday the 13th (1980), Ghostbusters (1984), The Golem (1915-1920), The Grudge (2002), Halloween (1978), Häxan (1922), Hellraiser (1987), Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986), Hereditary (2018), Hostel (2005), House of the Devil (1897), Last House on the Left (1972), Killer Party (1986), Maniac (1980), Midsommar (2019), Mockingbird (2016), The Monster (2016), Mr. Vampire (1985), My Bloody Valentine (1981), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), Nosferatu (1922), The Prowler (1981), Psycho (1960), Rigor Mortis (2013), Scream 7 (2026), The Strangers (2008), The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018), Terrified (2017), Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), The Uninvited (1944), Vicious (2025), When Evil Lurks (2023)

We also talked about his collaboration with Guillermo del Toro, van life culture as reflected in Passenger, and a super sick projection sequence in his latest film.

An introduction to Undertone, the Canadian supernatural horror film written and directed by Ian Tuason and starring Nina Kiri and Adam DiMarco. We set the stage with the film's premise, its atmospheric approach, and A24's role in shaping its release. Expect a tease of the themes, visuals, and chills to come. We cover direction, production design, location choices, and practical effects that contribute to its haunting atmosphere. We explore the film's sonic landscape—the whispers, the creaks, and the moments of absolute quiet that drive fear. We unpack the sound design and how audio amplifies suspense without overpowering the story. We also take a thought-provoking look at the film's core themes, such as memory, the unseen, and the nature of dread. We discuss symbolism, potential readings, and how the supernatural elements reflect human psychology. Is it one of the best modern day horror films? Listen in to find out!

WWe're hitting the 90s hard this week with Tales From the Crypt presents Demon Knight. Join us as we explore the pre-Scream landscape of horror. It may not have had the best track record, but there were a few gems such as this one, where art direction and practical effects transcended the genre to a level that is now a distant memory. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for which one was the most deserving to die. If you would like to join our livestream recordings for The Cherry Picker, we would be thrilled to have you with us.
