Ye Olde Finale

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/31

Text us Tonight marks the end of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special — thirty-one consecutive nights of darkness, madness, and beautifully unhinged storytelling. For the grand finale, host Spring Heeled Jack closes the season by turning the mic over to the listeners themselves. The night’s stories come straight from the audience: true confessions, eerie encounters, cursed objects, and the strange, sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying things people swear have happened to them after midn...

Hollow

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/31

Text us Tonight, Anthology of Horror resurrects one of America’s most enduring ghost stories — The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Originally written by Washington Irving, this timeless tale of superstition, ambition, and fear has been adapted and rewritten by Spring Heeled Jack for modern audiences. Set in the mist-shrouded valley of Sleepy Hollow, the story follows Ichabod Crane, an ambitious schoolmaster whose vanity and greed draw him into the heart of the Hollow’s oldest legend — the haunting o...

The Black Sarcophagus

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/30

Text us On Night 30 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, we exhume something ancient, something sealed away for a reason. Written by Tenac, “The Black Sarcophagus” drags listeners into the world of cursed relics, buried secrets, and the arrogance of those who disturb the dead. Inspired by the pulpy charm of old adventure-horror tales and the timeless dread of what lies beneath the sand, this story reminds us that some doors were never meant to be opened. Thirty nights deep into the H...

Curation

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/29

Text us Guest host Elle Green presents “Curation,” a chilling vision of the dystopian future of humanity. Stripped of speculation and delivered as written, the story examines the remnants of a world where what defines humanity—memory, art, and identity—has been cataloged, controlled, and preserved long after the living have forgotten why. Credits: Story: “The Curator” by Brian EvanstonGuest Host: Elle GreenProducers: Mickie Eberz; Deborah Ross-Sullivan; Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)Reco...

One Word Story

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/28

Text us On Night 28 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, simplicity becomes sinister in “One Word Story” by Anthony Naranjo. It’s a tale that strips horror down to its bare bones—tight, precise, and quietly unnerving. The premise seems harmless at first, but as the words begin to build, something dark begins to emerge between the lines. Tension grows not from what’s said, but from what isn’t. Each word carries weight, each silence feels deliberate, and by the time the story reaches i...

The Well

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/27

Text us Tonight’s episode of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special features an anonymously submitted story titled “The Well.” It arrived without background or explanation—only a short note claiming that it’s true. Whether it is or not remains up for debate, but one thing’s certain: there’s something unsettling about the way it was written, something that feels too specific to dismiss outright. We present it here exactly as it was received—unverified, unedited, and unnerving. Credits: Stor...

My Grandfather's Final Invention

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/26

Text us On Night 26 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, we step into the flickering workshop of memory with “My Grandfather’s Final Invention” by Alice Thompson—a haunting story of legacy, obsession, and the ghosts we leave behind in the name of progress. It begins with a granddaughter uncovering the remnants of her grandfather’s secret work—an invention whispered about but never revealed. What she finds in the dust and shadows of his abandoned study challenges everything she though...

Silence of the Rabbits

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/25

Text us Tonight’s episode of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special drifts into that uneasy territory where folklore, rumor, and reality blur together. This chilling account—submitted by an anonymous author—claims to be based on actual events. What begins as an unremarkable story soon twists into something much darker, something that feels too personal, too vivid, and too specific to be entirely fabricated. Whether it’s truth or fiction is for you to decide—but some stories, once told, hav...

The Shattering

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/24

Text us Tonight’s episode of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special descends into the fractured mind of a grieving war widow in “The Shattering,” written by Olivia Gates. What begins as a quiet portrait of loss soon splinters into something far more unsettling—a slow, creeping unraveling of perception and memory that blurs the line between grief and madness. As reality slips through the cracks, we’re left to wonder: is she being haunted by her husband’s ghost, or by her own unraveling mind...

Surviving the Line

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/23

Text us Tonight’s story imagines a terrifying afterlife for those who fail to live morally: a slow, relentless reckoning where consequence becomes architecture and regret is its climate. Woundlicker’s tale unfolds as a grim parable—no cheap judgment, just a steady, bone-deep logic that shows how small compromises and cruelties can harden into an eternity you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. Kayvan Shai’s narration brings a hardened clarity to the piece, making the moral weight feel immediat...

Thalassophobia

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/22

Text us A salty, claustrophobic ride set against the open water: this story leans into the ocean’s ability to feel both endless and intimately threatening. Woundlicker’s piece unspools as a series of escalating discoveries—small, uncanny details that accumulate until the sea itself starts to feel like an active, knowing presence. Expect tight pacing, sudden jolts, and an atmosphere that turns wide horizons into something dangerously narrow. Elle Green’s debut narration gives the episode a cle...

Marked For Death

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/20

Text us Tonight’s episode — Marked for Death by Jay Darkmoore — follows a man on a fog-heavy night in the Irish countryside who runs headfirst into far more than he bargained for. The story leans into isolation and atmosphere: low visibility, old roads, and the way a landscape can feel suddenly hostile when you’re the only moving thing in it. Expect a tight, mood-driven piece where small choices and strange moments stack up into something with real teeth; it’s less about sensational set piece...

Halloween, a History

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/19

Text us Tonight’s episode features Kate — research assistant, resident whiz kid, and making her podcast debut — walking listeners through the history of Halloween from ancient rites to modern traditions. Kate traces the festival’s roots, how rituals and beliefs shifted across eras, and how those old practices morphed into the costumes, customs, and commercial rituals we know today. Clear, informative, and packed with context, this episode gives a tidy, fact-rich run-through that helps explain...

The Girl in My Mirror

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/17

Text us Tonight’s episode follows a young woman frayed by work and sleeplessness who begins to see a girl in her new mirror — a presence that may be a spirit, a hallucination, or the product of a taxed mind. The story keeps the question unsettled, letting the ambiguity do the work. Credits: Produced by Mickie Eberz. Narration by Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis). Story by Emily Thurtithrea. All original music written and performed by Empress. Closing song is Pouring ...

Humanities 210

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/16

Text us Tonight’s episode follows a college trip to Ireland that unravels in ways nobody expected—maps go wrong, plans fracture, and what was supposed to be a weekend of drink and dares turns into a tightening, uncanny sequence of missteps. The story leans on atmosphere and escalating dread: small mistakes compound, local strangers matter more than they should, and the group discovers that sometimes the landscape keeps a grudge. It’s a lean, suspenseful piece about travel, hubris, and the way...

The Cost of Membership

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/15

Text us A first-person confession about joining a hedonistic cult in the 1980s and the long, ugly cost of membership—how youthful thrills calcify into obligation and shame. Stark, guilty, and quietly corrosive. Credits: Produced by Mickie Eberz. Narration by Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis). Story credit: Morning Owl. Closing track: The Devil Made Me Do It by Empress. Support the show Demented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8 Dark Side of the Ner...

The Blind Date

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/14

Text us The Blind Date mines the small, modern humiliations of dating until they snap into something far darker. What begins as social awkwardness and nervous politeness quickly tightens into claustrophobic tension: polite conversation, forced smiles, and the brittle rituals people use to hide panic become the setting for an escalating, unnerving collapse. The story is sharp and unsparing—it gets under the skin by showing how ordinary unease can turn dangerous when masks come off and intentio...

The Twitch Stream

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/10

Text us Tonight’s episode, The Twitch Stream, follows a streamer while they’re live on camera when something terrible unfolds in real time. The story compresses modern digital intimacy and public performance into a tight, unnerving sequence: chat scrolls, viewers multiply, the boundary between private disaster and public spectacle collapses, and the feed becomes both witness and jury. It’s a piece about how quickly curiosity turns to complicity, how a small human moment can explode under the ...

You Asked Me My Name

Anthology of Horror ·

2025/10/09

Text us Episode Summary — You Asked Me for My Name (James Wang King) A taut, disquieting piece that turns a simple question into a slow unravelling of identity and trust. The story presses close, trading spectacle for a persistent anxiety that hangs between words and details, leaving the listener with an image that won’t let go. Credits: Produced by Mickie Eberz. Narration by Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis). Story by James Wang King. All original music written and perfor...
