Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Spooky Season

Halloween in July begins with classic old time radio horror, vintage suspense, gothic mystery, witchcraft, Lights Out terror, and spooky season nightmares.

Unknown Broadcast returns with an extra-large Halloween-in-summer transmission featuring six eerie radio dramas from CBS Radio Mystery Theater, Escape, Suspense, The Whistler, Lights Out, and The Mysterious Traveler. This classic OTR horror lineup includes Here Goes the Bride, Ancient Sorceries, The Lord of the Witch Doctors, Mirage, Cat Wife, and Beware of Tomorrow — stories of haunted brides, occult villages, witch doctors, jealous murder, catlike transformation, killer robots, artificial life, and sci-fi horror from the Golden Age of radio.

👰 “Here Goes the Bride” — CBS Radio Mystery Theater
A gothic old time radio mystery about a new bride, a haunted estate, a dead first wife, ghostly voices, family secrets, and a honeymoon poisoned by jealousy. Perfect for listeners searching for CBS Radio Mystery Theater horror, E.G. Marshall, gothic radio drama, haunted bride stories, and classic supernatural suspense.
🧙 “Ancient Sorceries” — Escape / Algernon Blackwood
A traveler enters a strange Welsh village where cats, witchcraft, occult temptation, and ancient supernatural forces blur the line between folklore and nightmare. A must-hear for fans of Algernon Blackwood, Escape radio show, witchcraft horror, supernatural folklore, occult radio drama, and classic Halloween stories.
🦁 “The Lord of the Witch Doctors” — Suspense / John Dickson Carr
Suspense delivers a vintage radio thriller of jungle danger, drums in the night, colonial intrigue, murder, hidden power, witch doctor terror, and John Dickson Carr mystery. This one brings classic Suspense radio drama, old time radio adventure, murder mystery, and psychological dread into the Halloween in July mix.
🌫️ “Mirage” — The Whistler
A jealous murder plot becomes a trap of guilt, deception, false appearances, and noir suspense. The Whistler turns obsession into punishment in a classic radio crime drama built around betrayal, confession, and the deadly price of believing your own illusion.
🐈 “Cat Wife” — Lights Out / Arch Oboler
One of the strongest horror hooks in the broadcast: a miserable marriage, a cruel husband, and a wife who may be transforming into something feline, furious, and not entirely human. Arch Oboler’s Lights Out brings surreal body horror, domestic terror, cat horror, and vintage radio nightmare fuel.
🤖 “Beware of Tomorrow” — The Mysterious Traveler
The night ends with classic sci-fi horror about artificial life, mechanical men, experimental brains, and the terrifying future of human invention. Long before modern fears about artificial intelligence and killer robots, The Mysterious Traveler warned listeners to beware of tomorrow.

This episode is built for fans of old time radio horror, OTR suspense, classic radio drama, vintage horror radio, Halloween in July, Summerween, spooky season podcasts, CBS Radio Mystery Theater, Escape radio show, Suspense radio drama, The Whistler, Lights Out, Arch Oboler, The Mysterious Traveler, Algernon Blackwood, John Dickson Carr, gothic horror, witchcraft stories, haunted bride tales, cat horror, sci-fi horror, killer robots, and classic supernatural mystery.

Six stories. Six doors into the dark. A haunted bride waits at Bon Repos, an occult village purrs with ancient sorcery, jungle drums summon a witch doctor, a mirage turns murder inside out, a cat wife claws at sanity, and tomorrow arrives with metal hands.

Halloween may still be months away, but Unknown Broadcast is already tuning the static toward spooky season.

“I Guard Windmills, and I’m Not Sure If I’ll Survive the Shift” Written by Michael Kelso
A survivor of two disastrous supernatural jobs accepts an overnight security position at a remote wind farm. But when he discovers a burned turbine and evidence of something enormous moving through the surrounding forest, his quiet night shift becomes a brutal chase involving a furious Bigfoot with a violent grudge. 
“A Night at the Galleria” Written by Rob Fields
A seemingly young couple hides inside a shopping mall for an after-hours anniversary celebration. When three thieves break into the deserted galleria, they have no idea that the romantic strangers watching them have remained together since the Black Death—or what the ancient vampires intend to do next.
“Send Beer” Written by Michelle Antisocial
In a city devastated by the zombie apocalypse, bicycle courier Felix and a flock of homing pigeons keep isolated survivors supplied with groceries and medicine. But when a regular customer stops responding and one of the birds returns covered in blood, a routine welfare check reveals an infected family and an unexpectedly useful bottle of vodka.
“Torture and Other Job Skills” Written by Killian Crane
After losing the management position that defined his life, a cruel and desperate man answers a mysterious help-wanted advertisement. The address leads him to a black-glass office tower where revenge, torture, and complete moral surrender are not workplace violations—they are requirements for employment.

Turn down the lights, escape the summer heat, and celebrate Halloween in July with four tales of monsters, bloodsuckers, the undead, and infernal employment. Summerween begins now on Weekly Spooky.

Chupacabra horror, Puerto Rico folklore, summer camp terror, and violent cryptid attacks collide in “Camping With Chupacabra” by Douglas Waltz—a complete scary story from the Weekly Spooky horror fiction anthology podcast.

Jonathan Edwards is a veteran camp counselor who has spent twenty years teaching wilderness survival, training young counselors, and sleeping beneath the stars. When he accepts a permanent position at the newly constructed Camp Clemente in Puerto Rico, the fresh cabins, tropical forest, mountain trails, and private lake seem like the beginning of his dream job.
Then an unholy howl rolls out of the jungle.

The frightened counselors whisper an old name: El Vampiro de Moca—the Chupacabra.
After a savage nighttime attack tears through the camp, Jonathan discovers that the property was built directly over an ancient protective sigil. Beneath the nearby mountains lies a bat-filled cavern, a supernatural portal known as the Well of Chupacabra, and a pack of reptilian creatures waiting for another chance to enter our world.

Armed with wilderness experience, a loyal Zippo lighter, and a case of dynamite, Jonathan and camp owner Paul Williams descend into the darkness to seal the well before the Chupacabras return. But destroying one monster nest may reveal that Puerto Rico is hiding far more supernatural secrets than either man imagined.

Fans of Chupacabra stories, cryptid horror, scary camping stories, Puerto Rico legends, summer camp horror, wilderness survival, monster attacks, cave horror, creature features, supernatural thrillers, and complete horror audiobooks will find plenty to fear—and plenty of pulpy monster-hunting fun—in this episode.

Pack your supplies, keep the cabin doors barricaded, and listen closely when something howls beyond the firelight. Tonight on Weekly Spooky, camping season becomes hunting season in “Camping With Chupacabra” by Douglas Waltz.
