BANNED! Part 4: Blizzard Horror Convention Slasher Finale

Released on 01/28/2026

Winter slasher horror, murder mystery, and survival terror collide in the final chapter of BANNED! as the High Point Ski Lodge disappears under a relentless blizzard and the Horror Snow-In reaches its breaking point.

With the body count climbing and the storm sealing every road out, the killer’s plan shifts from lurking to finishing—dragging the weekend toward a confrontation nobody can walk away from unchanged. Headliner Vickie Valentine is pushed past her limits as something dangerous inside her threatens to surface, and the lodge’s desperate leadership makes choices that turn panic into chaos.

Part 4 delivers the payoff: reveals, reckonings, and a snowbound endgame where the truth finally steps out of the shadows… and the word BANNED stops being a message and becomes a sentence.

Scary Road Trip Horror Stories: 5 Highway Tales of Hitchhikers, Monsters, and Motels

Released on 01/24/2026

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?

Released on 01/23/2026

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.

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?

BANNED! Part 3: The Killer Goes Public!

Released on 01/21/2026

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.

Terrifying & True | The Caretos de Entrudo – Portugal’s Carnival Demons

Released on 01/19/2026

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.

Unknown Broadcast | Four Horror Stories of Fate, Knife-Edges, and Mistaken Identity

Released on 01/18/2026

Step into Unknown Broadcast — classic old-time radio horror stories and vintage radio suspense pulled from the dark, stitched together, and left to play in the corners of your feed. Tonight, four nightmares unfold: a royal smile that means life… a desperate man pushed into crime… a murder heard in the dark… and an island where gunfire answers the tide.

👑 “The Queen of Darkness” — In a kingdom where a queen still holds real power, Josephine Denison’s charm hides something colder: ambition, jealousy, and a court that learns too late what her favor costs.
🕯️ “Dark, Dark Destiny” — Joe Harrison needs money to save his wife, Mary… and one bad decision becomes a chain of robbery, panic, and a death that won’t stay neatly buried as “accident.”
🎹 “A World of Darkness” — A young woman is found stabbed to death inside a house full of suspects. A blind musician, Anton Rizak, listens harder than anyone else… and turns sound itself into the final accusation.
🌑 “Dark Island” — A party, a hidden fortune, double-crosses… and a midnight shoreline where gunfire writes punctuation across the waves. On this island, even the wrong name can get you killed.

The darkness doesn’t end when the story does… it just learns your address.
