Weekly Spooky: Scary Stories and Horror Fun Every Week!

Unknown Broadcast returns with old-time radio horror stories and classic OTR suspense—a winter-loaded anthology where snowstorms swallow roads, ice keeps secrets, and the cold feels alive. If you love radio suspense, ghost story anthologies, and classic mystery-thriller drama, this one is built for headphones on a dark night.

• 🧊 “The Ice Palace” — A glittering winter miracle with a rotten core… and something inside it that shouldn’t ever thaw.
• 🥶 “Death Has a Cold Breath” — A stranger’s journey turns fatal when the night air itself seems to exhale wrong.
• 🛣️ “Snow on 66” — A lonely highway, a whiteout wall, and a ride you’ll wish you never offered.
• ❄️ “The Time of the Big Snow” — A town disappears under drifts, and what’s buried doesn’t stay buried forever.

These are winter horror stories, snowstorm thrillers, and ice-cold radio nightmares—the kind that make your heater sound like footsteps.

The snow will stop eventually… but what followed your tracks won’t.

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.

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.

• Lucien Greyshire and the Ghost from Applebee’s — L.F. Falconer: A scarred party-producer who can see the dead recruits a teenage poltergeist—promising purpose, spectacle, and a darker “service” hiding beneath Halloween entertainment.
• The House in the Woods — Bruce Haney: A lost hike, a carved jack-o’-lantern, and a bonfire reveal a house that shouldn’t exist—where spiders wear human skin and desperation tempts a man to return.

Hit play, lock the doors, and tell me which one crawled under your skin the most.

Weekly Spooky horror podcast brings you a high-seas survival horror nightmare for our Best of 2025 series—equal parts ghost ship, creature feature, and “you’re trapped and nobody is coming.”
 
Chance and Luka are stranded after a shipwreck—clinging to a container in open water while the ocean churns around them. But rescue doesn’t arrive… and when a drifting vessel appears out of the fog, it feels like a miracle. A derelict ocean liner. A ghost ship. A place to rest, warm up, and wait it out. 

Except the ship isn’t empty. The corridors are wrong. The cabins are shredded. The galley has been ransacked down to the metal. And the scraping in the walls isn’t the sea—it’s something living, swarming, and hungry. What starts as a lucky break turns into a full-blown claustrophobic horror story about bad choices, worse timing, and the terrifying moment you realize the lifeboat might not be yours anymore.

If you love ghost ship horror, monster infestations, ocean survival stories, and relentless “can’t escape” tension, this one is a year-round must-listen—especially with headphones on in a dark room.

Horror podcast listeners—the snow keeps falling, the roads keep vanishing, and the High Point Ski Lodge is turning into a sealed box where a killer can work in peace. In BANNED! Part 2, the winter slasher at the Horror Snow-In doesn’t just strike again… he performs.

After James Turner is found with BANNED! carved into his chest, police push through the storm and start questioning attendees—while the convention stubbornly continues like nothing’s wrong.

Headliner Vickie Valentine tries to keep up appearances in the dealer room and on panels, but something darker is waking up inside her: the Hellweaver’s blood, the return of her night-vision, the creeping pull of Veronda of the Night Realm.

Then the killer makes his next move in front of an audience. During a panel, a staffer’s body is revealed in a horrifying display—hanged from above, with BANNED carved into him like a signature. Promoter David Melicant spirals, lashes out, and refuses to shut anything down, even as Vickie connects the dots: Robbie Redden is back, and this convention is his revenge.

Outside in the blizzard, Vickie is ambushed by a masked Redden—beaten, dragged toward the ledge, and stabbed when she gets too close to unmasking him. Redden admits she’s not meant to die yet. She’s meant to be last.

Back inside, the murders keep stacking. A blood-written note addressed to “Darci Heart” appears… and Vickie realizes another staff member has already been taken. In a packed movie room, a closet door bursts open—and the truth drops out in a brutal, unforgettable reveal: Kathleen Witherspoon’s corpse, her staff shirt cut open, the same word carved into her body.

The storm won’t let anyone leave. The crowd won’t stop watching. And Redden isn’t done banning people from this convention—one body at a time.
