Weekly Spooky: Horror Stories & Scary Tales

Scary stories for road trips, late-night drives, and anyone who’s ever felt the world get wrong somewhere between exits. In this Weekly Spooky horror podcast compilation, we’re digging into the creepiest vault picks built around roadside terror, travel nightmares, and the kind of highway horror that follows you long after the headlights fade.

Inside this episode (in order):
I used to drive a delivery truck, until the incident — by Michael Kelso A routine delivery route turns into a nightmare when the road gets quiet, the cab feels crowded, and the truth arrives through a call you can’t ignore.
Strike-Out! — by Morgan Moore A father-daughter road trip with spring tradition vibes goes sideways when trouble hits the tires… and the “help” they find waiting in the dark feels like a trap.
ROADKILL — by Travis VanHoose A driver with a taste for the disturbing picks up strangers on the wrong stretch of road—where deer in the headlights are the least unsettling thing you might hit.
Wilson Road — by Charles Campbell A Deep South dirt road, an abandoned finishing plant, and something watching from the dark—because some family roads don’t just lead home… they lead back.
They Don’t Drive Cars — by Scott S. Phillips A late-night snack run becomes a blood-soaked sprint when something small, fast, and hungry pours out of the shadows—and starts hunting by the light.

If you love creepy campfire tales, classic monster vibes, urban legend energy, and road trip horror stories that feel way too close to real, this one’s for you. Which story messed you up the most?

A Best of 2025 fan-favorite returns in one killer collection: Deadly Second Chances—the summer mini-series that drops you into the Strickfield universe where second chances come with teeth.

In Perdition, the Hellweaver discovers an ancient pact that could finally set her free… but only if she offers five doomed souls the chance to rewind their lives—and watches them choose who they really are when fate gives them one more turn of the key. No interference. No do-overs. Just consequences.

From cursed revenge and corrupted redemption, to supernatural bargains, killers-in-the-making, and blood-soaked turning points, these five chapters hit like a string of midnight doors slamming shut—each one asking the same question: If you could go back… would you save yourself… or become something worse?

Slasher horror, murder mystery, and winter survival terror collide as the Horror Snow-In at High Point Ski Lodge continues under a tightening blizzard lockdown—and the killer behind BANNED stops treating this like a secret.

With police struggling to reach the lodge and the convention refusing to shut down, headliner Vickie Valentine is forced to keep smiling through the fear… even as something old and dangerous stirs inside her. Meanwhile, Robbie Redden turns the weekend into a performance—pushing the murders from the shadows into places they were never supposed to happen.

Part 3 raises the stakes with public scares, disappearing staff, and a killer who wants witnesses—all while the storm cuts off escape and the lodge slips closer to panic. If you thought the word BANNED was just a signature… you’re about to learn it’s a warning.

Portugal folklore turns feral in the mountain village of Podence, where the only warning is the clatter of cowbellsricocheting off stone walls. Then the Caretos burst from the dark—men (and now women and kids, too) swallowed in ragged ribbons of red, yellow, and green, faces erased behind blood-red demon masks, hips loaded with heavy bell harnesses that turn every lunge into a metallic scream. It’s Carnival… but it moves like a hunt.

This is Entrudo—a tradition believed to reach back to pre-Roman Celtic seasonal rites, an “entry” into the warm season after winter’s darkness. Long before Lent ever claimed the calendar, this was a community ritual of mischief, rule-breaking, and purification: scare off the bad spirits, shake loose the old year, and drag spring and fertility into the streets by force of noise.

Inside this episode:
The first warning: cowbells in a stone alley, laughter turning predatory
Ancient roots: the pagan “entry” of Entrudo and the Celtic ties that won’t die
The disguise: fringed wool suits, horned masks, and the deafening bell harness
Ritual permission: three days where chaos is allowed—then paid for
Fire and farewell: the burning of effigies, bonfires, and Carnival’s final cleansing
Near-extinction and comeback: depopulation, revival, facanitos, and a tradition reborn
UNESCO recognition: how Podence’s “carnival demons” became world-famous without going tame
Cousins of the Caretos: Peliqueiros, Joaldunak, and Iberia’s other bell-bearing “devils”

If you ever find yourself in Podence after dark—listening to cowbells get closer—remember: the masks don’t perform. They pounce.

We’re telling that story tonight.
