Weekly Spooky: Scary Stories & Eerie Horror Tales

Unknown Broadcast digs into classic radio horror—four eerie vintage tales where cursed writers, haunted doctors, and shadowy mysteries prove old-time suspense still terrorizes. From the golden age of the dial, these chilling stories showcase the folklore, dark psychology, and gothic dread that defined horror before streaming. Perfect for horror fans seeking authentic, mature-themed audio fiction with real literary bone in them.

Tonight’s transmission brings four eerie classics from the darker corners of the dial: a writer haunted by the women he created, a sinister door in old Paris, a doctor’s final confession, and a waiting man whose patience may be the most dangerous thing in the room. 

🖋️ Three Women — A struggling writer creates a woman too vivid to stay safely on the page, but when fiction begins demanding blood, the ending may no longer belong to him.
🚪 Sire de Maletroit’s Door — In old Paris, one wrong step through one wrong door becomes a trap of honor, marriage, and menace, where escape may depend on accepting the impossible.
💉 The Last Letter of Dr. Bronson — A doctor leaves behind a chilling confession of ambition, murder, madness, and revenge, written as though the dead still have one final diagnosis to deliver.
🕰️ The Man Who Waited — A quiet household hides jealousy, illness, and betrayal, while one patient watcher waits for the perfect moment to turn love into something fatal.

Four classic OTR horror stories pass through Unknown Broadcast tonight… and whether it begins with a book, a door, a letter, or a man who simply waits, the ending may already be written somewhere in the static.

Haunted roads, cryptid encounters, and creature-feature horror stories converge in this scary stories anthology. Four chilling tales of werewolves, backwoods monsters, and paranormal nightmares—perfect for your next road trip or summer adventure. If you love spooky season all year, folklore, and eerie supernatural storytelling, dive into tonight's creepy compilation of blood-soaked horror stories that blur urban legends with creature features.

Tonight’s lineup starts in a museum of oddities where a harmless internship becomes a grotesque transformation nightmare. From there, a summer camp prank spirals into swamp horror, mad science, and mutated creatures in the dark. Then the road turns deadly with a phantom passenger story that feels like pure late-night highway dread. And finally, a beach trip becomes a full-on werewolf war as Bella Taibon uncovers a savage family secret under the full moon.

• I Worked in a Museum of Oddities Until the Oddest Thing Happened to Me — by Michael Kelso
An unpaid summer internship at a cryptid museum turns monstrous when a mysterious creature bite changes everything. This one mixes body horror, creature-feature chaos, and a mean little twist on small attraction roadside weirdness.
• Summer Slaycation — by David O’Hanlon
What begins as a juvenile camp prank in the Cypress Maze erupts into swamp terror, deranged experiments, and plant-animal abominations in a crumbling bayou house. Fast, nasty, funny, and packed with backwoods creature mayhem.
• I Used to Drive a Delivery Truck, Until the Incident — by Michael Kelso
A delivery driver starts getting written up for carrying a passenger he cannot see—until the camera proves something impossible is riding shotgun. Quiet, eerie, and deeply effective haunted-road horror.
• Bella’s Holiday — by Rob Fields
A summer beach trip to Shore City turns deadly when Bella and Einny discover a brutal werewolf conspiracy hiding inside a family reunion. Equal parts supernatural action, vampire-werewolf conflict, and savage vacation horror.

From dead-end routes and cryptid exhibits to swamp laboratories and moonlit beach bloodshed, this collection is all about summer going rotten in the most entertaining way possible. Pack sunscreen if you want, but you may get more use out of silver, headlights, and a very fast exit.

Terrifying & True returns with a special collection of the most memorable real horror stories, urban legends, unsolved mysteries, paranormal cases, cursed media, and disturbing true crime covered on the show. This first compilation gathers seven chilling topics that all circle the same terrifying question: what happens when a story becomes too powerful to stay only a story?

From childhood mirror rituals to medical nightmares, from Hollywood curse legends to baffling hotel murders, from viral chain-letter fear to a brutal crime twisted by Satanic Panic, these episodes explore the strange borderland where folklore, fear, rumor, tragedy, and real documented events collide.

Inside this special Terrifying & True collection:
• Bloody Mary — A deep dive into the mirror-summoning urban legend, tracing the myth through Queen Mary I, Mary Worth, Elizabeth Bathory, sleepover folklore, and the fear of what might stare back from the glass.
• Sleep Paralysis — The terrifying real phenomenon of waking up frozen, unable to move or scream, while shadow figures, “old hag” entities, and nightmare hallucinations seem to enter the room.
• The Poltergeist Film Curse — A look at the tragic legacy surrounding the Poltergeist films, including real human skeleton props, on-set incidents, and the heartbreaking deaths that fueled one of horror cinema’s most famous curse legends.
• Room 1046 — The bizarre unsolved murder of Artemus Ogletree, who checked into a Kansas City hotel under the name Roland T. Owen and was later found tortured, dying, and surrounded by unanswered questions.
• The History of Chain Letters — From ancient curse letters and religious warnings to dime-letter schemes, internet spam, “share or die” posts, and viral fear, this episode uncovers why people keep passing threats and promises forward.
• The 1982 Murders at Corpsewood Manor — The disturbing true crime case of Charles Scudder and Joseph Odom, whose isolated Georgia home, occult imagery, and brutal murders became tangled in media sensationalism, Satanic Panic, homophobia, and local legend.
• The Herrmann Family Poltergeist Case — The famous 1958 Long Island haunting where bottles popped open, objects flew, investigators arrived, and a quiet suburban house became the center of one of America’s most discussed poltergeist cases.

Together, these stories form a haunted chain of belief: say the name, wake in the dark, fear the curse, enter the locked room, forward the warning, judge the outsiders, and finally watch the house itself come alive. This is a collection about the stories we inherit, the fears we spread, and the mysteries that refuse to die quietly.

This is Terrifying & True: a special collection of real-life horror, paranormal legends, unsolved crimes, cursed stories, and the strange history behind the things that still keep us up at night.

This Week in Horror History for May 11–17 brings together a loaded week of horror movie anniversaries, Stephen King adaptations, Universal Monsters, zombie outbreak horror, slasher sequels, kaiju blockbusters, and modern home-invasion terror.

Inside this episode:

• May 11, 1936 — Dracula’s Daughter
Universal Horror gets one of its strangest and saddest vampire follow-ups, turning Dracula’s legacy into a chilly story of blood, inheritance, repression, and the desperate hope that evil might be cured.
Where to watch (U.S., this week): Rent/buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.
• May 11, 2007 — 28 Weeks Later
The Rage virus returns with soldiers, checkpoints, quarantine zones, and the terrifying idea that the people in charge may declare the nightmare over long before the nightmare agrees.
Where to watch (U.S., this week): Rent/buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.
• May 13, 1988 — Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
Jason Voorhees rises again on an actual Friday the 13th, this time facing a telekinetic final girl in the cult-favorite slasher sequel fans often describe as Jason versus Carrie at Crystal Lake.
Where to watch (U.S., this week): Paramount+ with subscription; rent/buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.
• May 16, 2014 — Godzilla
The MonsterVerse begins as Gareth Edwards brings Godzilla back to American theaters with disaster-movie scale, radioactive awe, and the reminder that humanity is not always the main character of the planet.
Where to watch (U.S., this week): Rent/buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.

Then, in this week’s Deep-Cut Spotlight, we go to May 11, 1984 — Firestarter, the Stephen King adaptation about a little girl, a secret government experiment, and the terrifying question of what happens when the weapon you built learns to hate you. Drew Barrymore stars as Charlie McGee, a child whose fear and trauma can ignite into actual flame, making Firestarter one of King’s most haunting stories of power, control, and childhood weaponized by adults.

Plus: a birthday roll featuring Robert Pattinson, David Boreanaz, Megan Fox, and Bill Paxton, a Then & Now Bite about horror’s power to mutate across generations, and a Weekly Recommendation for The Strangers: Chapter 1, a modern masked-intruder nightmare that proves some old fears never stop knocking.

From Dracula’s Daughter to Firestarter, from 28 Weeks Later to Friday the 13th Part VII, from Godzilla to The Strangers, this week is packed with horror history that refuses to stay buried.
