The Mall Overnight — Christmas Horror at Strickfield Towne Centre Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

An overnight decorating job traps Arial Mirren and her friends inside a shopping mall with something made to hunt them. Rob Fields’s “The Mall Overnight” turns a Christmas chore into a Strickfield monster story when the group’s punishment keeps them in the building after closing. The empty corridors offer little comfort once Vincent Frankenstein’s creation enters the picture. Queer friendship, holiday horror and a vampire experiment collide beneath the seasonal displays. The friends came expecting an unpleasant shift. Surviving until opening time will take more than finding the nearest exit.

The murders of three Native American women left Oklahoma City with an unresolved question: was one killer responsible?

Unknown Broadcast | Casting the Runes — M. R. James’s Occult Curse & Three Dark Radio Tales Dec 03, 2023

Show notes

A slip of paper carries a deadly curse in M. R. James’s “Casting the Runes,” opening four vintage radio dramas about threats that resist explanation. “Resident Killer” imagines a society trying to suppress aggression; Arch Oboler’s “The Author and the Thing” brings a writer’s creation terrifyingly close; and “A Statement of Fact” turns questioning about a killing into a psychological contest. Unknown Broadcast gathers Escape, CBS Radio Mystery Theater, Lights Out and Suspense for almost two hours of occult horror, dystopian fiction and crime. Can knowledge protect anyone when the rules themselves are dangerous?

The Weekend — Part 1 of Rob Fields’s Camp Rolling Acres Slasher Serial Nov 30, 2023

Show notes

College friends leave their smart devices behind for a weekend at abandoned Camp Rolling Acres, just outside Strickfield. Someone is already watching—and may know their shared history far better than they realize. Rob Fields’s “The Weekend” opens a Patreon-exclusive slasher serial with an isolated getaway that removes the students’ easiest connection to help. This is Part 1, introducing the group from North Ridgeway and the threat closing around their retreat. Old relationships and an apparently empty summer camp set the stage for a question none of them planned to ask: who else came here for the weekend?

This science-fiction horror story mixes isolation, dangerous technology and holiday music that grows harder to welcome. What is awake aboard the Roanoke—and how much does Vinnie know?

Monthly Spooky | Wild Bears, Ghost Girls & Wendigo Folklore Nov 27, 2023

Show notes

A bear steals Taco Bell, a supposed ghost girl appears on a livestream and the Wendigo brings a much darker kind of hunger to the conversation. Henrique Couto and Michelle’s November 2023 Monthly Spooky moves from strange animal news to paranormal claims and winter folklore. Join a relaxed discussion of unsettling images, stories of isolation and the monster traditions that horror keeps reimagining.

Unknown Broadcast | The Voice That Wouldn’t Die & The Fast One: Haunted Scotland and Superhuman Speed Nov 26, 2023

Show notes

A child’s cry troubles a Scottish estate, while impossible crimes lead a detective toward an experiment in human speed. Unknown Broadcast pairs “The Voice That Wouldn’t Die” with “The Fast One.” After moving from India, Rowena hears a voice at a rented Scottish house that recalls her mother’s unexplained death. Detective Mark Fenn’s investigation follows robberies that ordinary movement cannot explain. CBS Radio Mystery Theater and Lights Out supply two different nightmares: a family past that refuses silence and a scientific advantage with consequences nobody can leave behind. Gothic suspense meets science-fiction crime.
