Halloween Haunted Hayride — When the Attraction’s Killers Become Real Oct 23, 2025

Show notes

The Pendleton Haunted Hayride uses animatronics, not live performers—so why do its threats feel so real? Colette Mirren and her friends arrive at Spencer's Farm for caramel apples and a Halloween outing, then board a wagon whose rules forbid getting off. Halloween Haunted Hayride by Rob Fields sends the group into scenes that stop offering safe scares. This Weekly Spooky tale combines haunted-attraction horror, supernatural danger, and slasher suspense in the Strickfield universe. With the wagon moving deeper into the dark, recognizing a monster may be easier than finding a way past it.

Dirt Babies, ERASURE & Cry Baby Bridge — Three Halloween Horror Novellas Oct 18, 2025

Graveyard soil becomes a craft project, a forbidden VHS rental follows children home, and a haunted bridge draws investigators back.

Over five and a half hours of Halloween horror connect handmade monsters, video-store nightmares, and Strickfield's ghostly past across three novellas.
