Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Spooky Season

Cryptid folklore and encounters shape regional identity across America. Why do certain monsters become inseparable from the places that claim them?

In this Thursday Thrills episode, Henrique Couto explores how the Jersey Devil haunts the Pine Barrens, Mothman defines Point Pleasant, and the Chupacabra became a symbol of rural fear. Discover why local legends aren't just scary stories—they're the mythology that communities use to understand themselves and their land. A dark journey through cryptid encounters that reveal us as much as they terrify us.

Cursed objects awaken at Camp Red Feather as the horror fiction anthology continues. In Part 3 of Summer of the Demon, Eddie digs deeper into a monstrous curse that claims the camp is hiding dark secrets. The Demon grows stronger, the truth more dangerous, and Eddie realizes: everyone knows something they’re refusing to tell him. How far will he go to uncover what happened that summer?

The nightmare at Camp Red Feather continues as Eddie Richter searches for answers behind the cursed football jersey, the brutal attacks, and the monstrous figure stalking the camp. What began as a strange summer football camp mystery has become something far more dangerous, and every new clue only raises more questions.

This episode of Weekly Spooky delivers supernatural football horror, cursed-object terror, summer camp suspense, eerie mystery, teen horror energy, brutal monster mayhem, dark secrets, mature themes, and a fast-moving story full of danger, dread, and chilling surprises.

Horror history gets iconic, aquatic, gothic, apocalyptic, and completely unhinged this week as This Week in Horror History travels through June 15–21 with motel terror, shark sequels, dark superhero nightmares, zombie blockbuster chaos, and one wild space-vampire cult classic that brings cosmic horror crashing down on Earth.

This episode digs into a packed week of classic horror movies, cult horror, summer blockbusters, gothic comic-book horror, zombie disaster cinema, and 1980s Cannon Films madness, including the New York premiere of Psycho, the U.S. release of Jaws 2, the theatrical arrival of Batman Returns, the blockbuster zombie outbreak of World War Z, and the Deep-Cut Spotlight on Tobe Hooper’s bizarre 1985 space vampire epic Lifeforce.

Inside this episode:
• Psycho rewrites the rules of horror moviegoing, turns the Bates Motel into a nightmare landmark, and makes one ordinary shower one of the most famous crime scenes in cinema.
• Jaws 2 drags audiences back to Amity Island for more shark terror, seaside panic, and one of horror’s most frustrating “nobody believes the guy who is right” sequel setups.
• Batman Returns transforms Gotham into a twisted Christmas horror fairy tale full of sewer lairs, circus gangs, stitched leather, abandoned children, corporate monsters, Catwoman, and the Penguin.
• World War Z reimagines the zombie apocalypse as global disaster cinema, with the undead moving less like slow corpses and more like a rushing human flood.
• The Deep-Cut Spotlight goes to Lifeforce, Tobe Hooper’s strange, ambitious, and deeply excessive Cannon Films cult classic about Halley’s Comet, alien vampires, life-draining seduction, plague victims, and London falling apart under cosmic horror.

Plus: a horror birthday roll featuring Courteney Cox, Laurie Metcalf, John Carl Buechler, and Nicole Kidman, a creepy look at how horror became a massive summer marketing event, and a weekly recommendation for Hammer’s Dracula, also known as Horror of Dracula, starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

From Norman Bates and shark-infested beaches to Gotham monsters, zombie swarms, Halley’s Comet, space vampires, Hammer horror, and Cannon Films insanity, this week proves horror history can be classic, blockbuster-sized, cult, strange, seductive, and absolutely impossible to ignore.

Highway 16 in northern British Columbia became known as the Highway of Tears after decades of women and girls—many Indigenous—disappeared along this remote corridor. This episode investigates the true crime horror, unsolved disappearances, and the dark folklore that emerged from tragedy. Explore the real cases, the landscape that enabled them, and how a highway itself became haunted by its history. A cinematic dive into one of Canada's most devastating mysteries.

We examine the victims, the isolated geography, the lack of safe transportation, the failures of policing and media attention, and the systemic conditions that allowed danger to persist for decades. This is not a story about one cursed road or one simple explanation. It is a story about grief, survival, ignored warnings, and families who refused to let their loved ones disappear from memory.

The Highway of Tears remains one of the most haunting examples of how true crime can expose something larger than a single mystery: a pattern of violence, silence, and systemic failure that continues to demand answers.

We’re telling that story tonight.

Four eerie tales of gothic horror and betrayal unfold tonight. A desert archaeological dig uncovers fresh horror instead of ancient history. Then Owl Creek Bridge becomes a nightmare of illusion, escape, and doom. Witchcraft, stagecraft, and murder collide in flames and suspicion. Finally, The Whistler arrives with a crime story where the cleverest plan may already be waiting to betray you. Expert narration. Immersive darkness. Spine-tingling twists.

🪦 Dig Me Deadly
A desert excavation turns into a murder investigation when a body is found where no fresh corpse should be. Detective Claudia Trubshaw follows the trail through sand, bones, secrets, and suspicious academics in a classic radio mysterywhere the past is not nearly as dead as everyone hoped.
🌉 An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge
A condemned man stands beneath the beams of Owl Creek Bridge, waiting for the rope to fall. What follows is one of the great nightmares of old-time radio suspense: a desperate escape, a race toward home, and the terrible question of how much life can pass through a mind in its final instant.
🔥 Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble
Theater, superstition, jealousy, and murder stir together in this eerie Suspense drama from John Dickson Carr. A performance becomes a trap, an obsession becomes dangerous, and the old language of witchcraft seems to whisper from just behind the curtain.
🔪 Double Cross
In this Whistler tale, a criminal scheme twists back on itself when deception becomes the deadliest weapon in the room. A robbery, a setup, and a supposed perfect plan all move toward the same destination: the moment when betrayal stops being clever and starts being fatal.

Four stories. Four graves opening. One broadcast that was never buried deep enough.
