  • Unknown Broadcast | What Returns in the Night: Four Tales of Ghosts, Betrayal, and Retribution

    Unknown Broadcast | What Returns in the Night: Four Tales of Ghosts, Betrayal, and Retribution
    Mar 22 2026
    Unknown Broadcast leaks once more into the Weekly Spooky feed, carrying four old-time radio horror stories in its teeth and insisting they are perfectly harmless. Tonight’s signal wanders through reincarnation and resentment, jungle danger and false names, poison and polite suburban dread, and finally a grim little reckoning delivered by The Whistler himself.

    If you came seeking classic OTR horror, vintage radio suspense, gothic mystery, and those deliciously strange old broadcasts that sound as though they were never meant for civilized company, then do sit down. Just don’t sit with your back to the door. The lineup for this episode is The Return of the Moresbys, John Jock Todd, The Burning Court, and Retribution.

    🐈 The Return of the Moresbys
    A husband sneers at the unseen, laughs at spiritual notions, and finds murder much easier to imagine than remorse. But some wives are difficult to escape, especially when devotion curdles into haunting and the grave proves distressingly porous. This Radio Mystery Theater tale was written by Henry Slessor.
    🗡️ John Jock Todd
    Then off we go into dust, danger, and the kind of frontier where a man’s name is rarely the most suspicious thing about him. Old grudges, savage reckonings, and jungle survival all come striding in together, looking for blood and perhaps a little justice, though the two are so often confused. The episode credits this as John Jock Todd by Robert Simpson, adapted for radio by Les Crutchfield.
    🥃 The Burning Court
    Now a glass of sherry, a handsome room, and all the proper comforts of domestic life — which is usually when murder feels most at home. From John Dixon Carr’s famous novel comes a tale of poison, suspicion, and secrets moving quietly through well-appointed rooms with very bad intentions.
    ⚖️ Retribution
    And last comes The Whistler, who never sounds quite as though he is judging you and never quite as though he isn’t. A lonely courthouse, a storm-black road, and a story promised as “the strange story of retribution” make for an ending full of guilt, fate, and the sort of payment that always arrives overdue but never forgotten.

    So there you are: four doorways, four warnings, four invitations dressed up as entertainment. You may call it classic radio horror, vintage suspense, supernatural mystery, or old-time gothic drama. I call it a rather lovely way to spend an evening with the lights too low and the conscience unguarded.

    Some doors open onto memory, some onto guilt, and some onto the sort of justice that has all the time in the world.

  • Ides of March: Four Horror Stories of Demons, Curses, Occult Revenge, and Satan’s Shotgun

    Ides of March: Four Horror Stories of Demons, Curses, Occult Revenge, and Satan’s Shotgun
    Mar 21 2026
    The Ides of March isn’t just betrayal—it’s the moment the universe decides you’ve had it too easy. In this compilation of scary horror stories, we go from demonic possession and hellish bargains to occult curses, bloody pentagrams, and a revenge trail that crawls straight out of the old world and into something far worse.

    In this episode (in order):

    • “Academia Demonia” — by David O’Hanlon A school day goes wrong in the most unholy way—shadows lengthen, bodies move wrong, and something ancient comes calling with a deal that wants blood.
    • “A New Beginning” — by Rob Fields A stranger arrives with heat in her veins and Hell in her lineage—protection comes with power, temptation, and the kind of justice that smiles while it burns.
    • “Breaking The Seal” — by Douglas Waltz A night of partying turns into the grossest curse imaginable, where panic, humiliation, and dark magic collide—and the punchline might be fatal.
    • “Satan’s Shotgun” — by Dan Wilder A revenge saga in the wilds—bones, bandages, monsters, and a yearly return from the dirt… all leading to a final reckoning that doesn’t play fair.

    If you love demon horror, occult stories, witch curses, and darkly funny horror with a mean streak—this Ides of March installment is for you. Light a candle… or don’t. Something might take it as an invitation.

  • Lionizing by Edgar Allan Poe: Dark Satire, Vanity Horror, and a Classic Gothic Tale

    Lionizing by Edgar Allan Poe: Dark Satire, Vanity Horror, and a Classic Gothic Tale
    Mar 20 2026
    Step into the strange and biting world of Edgar Allan Poe’s Lionizing, a sharp gothic satire that blends dark humor, social commentary, and Poe’s signature fascination with vanity, status, and human absurdity. In this unforgettable classic, a man’s rise to fame is built on something as ridiculous as it is disturbing — and the higher he climbs into fashionable society, the more twisted the praise, obsession, and cruelty become.

    If you love Edgar Allan Poe stories, classic horror, gothic fiction, macabre satire, and eerie tales that expose the ugliness hiding beneath beauty and popularity, this episode delivers a weird, witty, and wonderfully unsettling listen. Lionizing is a perfect example of Poe’s ability to mix the bizarre with the brilliant, turning a strange premise into a chilling reflection on ego, reputation, and the madness of public adoration.
