Bite Me: Giant Mutant Fleas Turn an Ozarks Reunion into Survival Horror Nov 06, 2024

Show notes

A reunion at an Ozarks cabin has an unexpected guest: something small enough to live on a rabbit, until it isn’t. Giant mutant fleas turn a weekend with old friends into a struggle against predators built to bite, cling and multiply. David O’Hanlon’s “Bite Me” brings creature-feature horror and dark humor to a woodland getaway where the surrounding wildlife signals a much bigger problem. The group came to reconnect, but staying together may be their only chance when the parasites stop behaving like an irritation and start behaving like hunters.

Halloween night at WHNT means another late shift for broadcast assistant Nate.

Shane Migliavacca’s “The Graveyard Shift” is a haunted-radio horror story set in upstate New York, where voices on the line make a familiar studio feel like hostile territory. Stay tuned—but be careful about assuming the person calling is still out there.
