Weekly Spooky: Scary Christmas Stories | Terrifying Tales to Creep Your Holiday

Weekly Spooky drops a Christmas Eve horror story soaked in ’90s slasher energy and last-minute retail panic. In Etawah, Oklahoma (1996), Otis Kilgore walks into the Big K like it’s a church—new car, new haircut, new plan—convinced a cashier named Diane has been sending him secret messages. But when the store “messes with” his routine, Otis spirals into a holiday meltdown that turns Blue Light Specials into red-hot violence.What starts as awkward small-town obsession becomes a full-tilt killer Santa rampage—duct tape, drain cleaner, homemade weapons, and a blizzard outside a big-box store that’s trying to close early for the holiday. Otis isn’t just looking for love. He’s looking for control, and he’s ready to “deliver presents” the only way he knows how: with blood on the tile.If you’re craving scary Christmas stories, holiday horror, and a brutal, darkly funny slasher that weaponizes the most stressful night of the season, hit play… and don’t wait for the doors to open.Otis Slays Christmas — by David O’Hanlon🎧 LISTEN NOW and subscribe for spine-tingling horror stories every week!🎉 Unlock exclusive bonus episodes and support the show on Patreon!👉 WeeklySpooky.com/Join📬 Contact Us / Submit Your Horror Story!Twitter: @WeeklySpookyFacebook: facebook.com/WeeklySpookyEmail: [email protected]🎵 Music by Ray Mattis 👉 Check out Ray’s incredible work here !👨‍💼 Executive Producers: Rob Fields, Bobbletopia.com🎥 Produced by: Daniel Wilder🌐 Explore more terrifying tales at: WeeklySpooky.com

Dive into Christmas true crime, Santa Claus history, and holiday folklore with the real medieval relic heist that helped shape the legend of Santa. In 1087, sailors from Bari, Italy break into the tomb of St. Nicholas in Myra (modern Turkey)—and the world’s most famous Christmas icon gets a disturbingly real origin story.Inside the candlelit crypt, witnesses claim the tomb is flooded with mysterious liquid—the “manna” of St. Nicholas—and the thieves interpret it as a sign the saint approves. But back on shore, the people of Myra collapse into grief and fury, pleading for even a single fragment. And when the relics reach Bari, the celebration turns volatile: church power struggles, blood spilled in the saint’s name, and a brand-new basilica built to lock the prize in place.Then the rivalry escalates. Venice returns to Myra and scoops up what Bari left behind—tiny fragments, crushed pieces, a second claim to the same saint. Centuries later, science steps into the story: anatomical studies, missing bones, and the unsettling realization that Santa’s “origin story” includes grave-robbing, propaganda, and a relic war that rewrote Europe’s holiday traditions.Inside this episode:The 1087 relic heist: how Bari’s sailors infiltrate Myra and break into the tomb“Furta sacra”: the medieval logic that framed theft as holy rescueThe grief of Myra: a town begging for any piece of their protectorBari’s power play: riots, control of the relics, and a basilica built for a stolen saintBari vs. Venice: the second “collection” of bones and a centuries-long relic rivalryMiracles and manna: the eerie liquid linked to St. Nicholas and why skeptics argue backThe Santa connection: how this crime helped carry St. Nicholas into Western Europe’s Christmas traditionWe’re telling that story tonight.🎧 LISTEN NOW and subscribe for spine-tingling horror stories every week!🎉 Unlock exclusive bonus episodes and support the show on Patreon!👉 WeeklySpooky.com/Join📬 Contact Us / Submit Your Horror Story!Twitter: @WeeklySpookyFacebook: facebook.com/WeeklySpookyEmail: [email protected]🎵 Music by Ray Mattis 👉 Check out Ray’s incredible work here !👨‍💼 Executive Producers: Rob Fields, Bobbletopia.com🎥 Produced by: Daniel Wilder🌐 Explore more terrifying tales at: WeeklySpooky.com
