Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween

Jack Scratch returns with three scary Halloween stories from Millhaven, where every invitation has a price. A widower’s bargain to save his wife comes due. A trick-or-treater meets Mr. Pickles, a beautiful cat whose owner obeys a murderous voice. Two police officers enter a Halloween party—and the doorway disappears. Keith Tomlin’s “Jack Scratch’s Neighborhood Nightmares” brings together “The Debt,” “The Voice” and “The Choice,” narrated by Henrique Couto. This supernatural horror anthology turns porch lights, candy bowls and familiar homes into traps. Jack promises a tour. He never promises a way home.

Candy Haul by Tyler Belmont turns trick-or-treating into a goblin Halloween horror story. Twelve-year-old Daniel wants the biggest candy haul in the neighborhood, and his new friend Ivan has the most convincing costume he has ever seen. But when Ivan steals his candy wagon and disappears into the woods, Daniel follows—and the path home vanishes. Now a grinning trickster is setting the rules, and his appetite goes far beyond sweets. Can Daniel survive the games and find his way out? Narrated by Henrique Couto, this tale of childhood Halloween nostalgia turns vicious for fans of scary Halloween stories.
