In the small town of Torkton, seven brutal murders in four weeks have left the local police department scrambling for answers. The victims are found torn apart, covered in bizarre bite marks that don't match any known animal. When Officers McHale and McAllister discover bloody handprints on a victim's ceiling, they realize they're dealing with something far beyond ordinary criminal behavior.

A man becomes terrifyingly obsessed with the idea that his own skeleton is a separate, sinister being — one that's trying to kill him.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: It's #ThrillerThursday and this time I bring you a strange story from master storyteller, Ray Bradbury. The story is odd in the beginning and gets slowly darker as it progresses. Our protagonist, Mr. Harris, has slowly become more and more obsessed with his own skeleton – which he only sees as a symbol of death, as an enemy. He sees his skeleton not as a part of him, but as a separate entity continually working against him… eventually coming to believe his skeleton is trying to kill him. While it's obvious the man is quite mad, it's still an interesting journey as he plunges further down into his madness as the story moves forward.SOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Skeleton” by Ray Bradbury: https://amzn.to/3TY0esqWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. =====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Before the crown even touched his head, the dying had already begun. (The English Sweat) *** Long before the word “cryptid' was coined, people were already burying the victims of a thing in the woods that doesn't run, doesn't speak, and doesn't hesitate – it kills, and then it's gone. From the Rockies to the West African forests, the stories don't just describe sightings — they describe actual killings. (When Cryptid Creatures Turn Violent) *** Clinical death was once considered the end, but new data — and what the revived remember — suggest otherwise. Medical researchers studying patients who died and returned to life have documented consistent reports of consciousness surviving clinical death, with experiences that remarkably match biblical descriptions of the afterlife. (What Happens When We Die) *** Researchers studying ancient Middle Eastern texts about fire-based entities called Djinn now believe these beings might actually be plasma-based interdimensional creatures that have been masquerading as everything from UFOs to shadow people. (The Djinn and Aliens) *** Scientists have discovered that the cosmic objects we've been calling black holes might actually be tunnels to other parts of the universe, and we may have been watching doorways to distant worlds without realizing it. (Could Black Holes Be Hidden Doorways?) *** But first… medical examiners and coroners have witnessed some of the most unusual and shocking deaths imaginable, proving that truth can be far stranger than any horror story.

Her fellow hiker/hunter claimed Theresa was abducted by Sasquatch, but authorities suspected foul play. Decades later, Theresa remains missing. (She Was Kidnapped By Bigfoot) *** In the early 1980s, Australia became a hotspot for extraordinary UFO sightings and alien encounters, rivaling those reported in the United States and Europe. From mysterious orange orbs flying in formation to shape-shifting spacecraft and enigmatic beings, these lesser-known incidents suggest that the Land Down Under may hold a special significance for extraterrestrial visitors. Could Australia's unique geography and vast, uninhabited areas be the key to unlocking the secrets of an alien presence on Earth? (Outback Extraterrestrials) *** From 1953 to 1973, the CIA conducted a top-secret mind control program known as Project MKUltra, pushing the boundaries of ethics and legality in the name of national security. Using LSD, hypnosis, and even torture, the agency experimented on unwitting citizens and its own personnel, leaving a trail of controversy and damaged lives in its wake. Decades later, the full extent of MKUltra's operations remains shrouded in mystery, with only fragments of its dark history coming to light through declassified documents and survivor testimonies. (MKUltra and Mind Control) *** From frozen bodies in abandoned buildings to mummified remains in chimneys, there have been numerous chilling discoveries where human remains have been found in the most unexpected places. It's just one way people – either by accident or sinister misdeeds, can simply vanish without a trace. But in a few cases, the bodies do turn up – in bizarre ways and strange locations.

How did you land on her as the “bridge,” and what made her magic the right kind of chaos to kick off the crossover?Playtime (Frankie Follis) vs. ArchiePlaytime and Archie are about as different as two protagonists can be. What were the most surprising character parallels—or contrasts—that emerged as you wrote their interactions?Deep Cuts and Fan FavoritesThis series packs in everything from Salem the Cat to the annoying Reggie. How did you decide which characters to include—and how deep into both universes' lore did you dig?Implications for the Minor Threats UniverseJordan and Patton, you've said this story has long-term consequences for Playtime. Without spoiling anything, can you tease what ripple effects this Archie encounter sets in motion?Archie Breaks BadThe idea of Archie "breaking bad" is hilarious and a little terrifying. What was it like writing Archie with a criminal edge—and how far did you all consider pushing it?Why Comics?Jordan mentioned this is a story that only works in comics. What elements of this crossover could only have been done in this medium—not TV, not film, not prose?I'd be remiss not to ask, is there any romance in the series?Milkshakes & Mayhem (Fun Question)Let's say the Riverdale crew and the Minor Threats gang go out for milkshakes together after all this chaos—who's the last one standing in the milkshake chugging contest?And finally, Archie is also crossing over with Jay and Silent Bob, could you guys see a similar crossover with Kevin Smith's characters?

The Hollywood Tower Hotel has a few secrets on its verandah, and odds are you've walked by them without even knowing they were there. Drop in with us to the Hollywood Tower Hotel as we saunter through the patio, verandah, and balcony of this iconic Disney attraction! In this episode of Distory, we explore the Imagineering details most guests miss while waiting in line for the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, including the meaning behind the statues in the garden, the storytelling of the dry pond, and some plants (both real and fake). Along the way, we will take a closer look at some Imagineering color boards, discuss the hidden meaning of the Tower of Terror's logo, and find a cornerstone that holds greater meaning than more guests realize. Kate illuminates a connection to the Twilight Zone for the lamps on the front porch, Kirk tells us some… odd… plant names, and we end this episode with a rare piece of concept art from the front porch of an earlier version of the Tower. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kate's books on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WalrusCarp T-shirts & Merch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MOWD app⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Distory T-shirts and Stickers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kate's SubstackMany thanks to Disney historian Joshua at  E82 | The Epcot Legacy for contributing resources for this episode!

Join Opie for a wild ride with the always unpredictable comedian Ron the Waiter on the Opie Radio podcast! They dive into a chaotic mix of topics: from ACDC's iconic hits to the absurdity of Kim Kardashian's nanny army and the shocking cost of meds in America. Ron's questionable foot condition steals the show, alongside his moldy shower curtain and carpeted kitchen.

(Dark Mass) *** If you were to drive from New York to Sacramento, California, it would take you close to 45-hours, non-stop.  If you were to fly?

But one person did it even faster than that… almost instantaneously.  (The Mysterious Case of the Teleporting Skier) *** A simple case of a man making angry threats at another man who had made a pass at his wife goes to court – and that's when and where it gets really ugly, murderously so.  (Disorder In The Court) *** A man finds out that you don't necessarily have to believe in ghosts in order to be terrified by them. (The Ghosts of Crosbie Towers) *** Reports are pouring in from all over the world with people claiming to have had an encounter with a Shadow Person.

Add a bit of alcohol and you just may have a powder keg ready to explode.

But what are the purpose of gargoyles?
