Unknown Broadcast | Something on His Mind & The Silver Shoe: Borneo Revenge and a Ghostly Double Nov 05, 2023

Show notes

Jealousy makes a Borneo homecoming dangerous, while an impossible resemblance draws a grieving man toward a stranger. Unknown Broadcast presents “Something on His Mind” from Beyond Midnight and “The Silver Shoe” from Suspense. The first drama turns a plantation love triangle into an insect-driven revenge nightmare. The second asks why a woman looks exactly like someone already buried—and how a silver keepsake could have escaped her coffin. These fictional stories pair tropical body horror with a mystery of identity and mourning. Desire clouds judgment in both, but the threats take very different forms.

Every attempted escape takes them deeper into the house. “Ghost Story” is a childhood nightmare of lost time, spectral visitors, and a dare that becomes a desperate search for daylight. By A.N.

Inbetween | Halloween Hospital Horror Between Worlds Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

A Halloween hospital visit leaves Ruby Salazar trapped between worlds, hunted by a six-eyed spider-crab creature. After waking from a nap following an ultrasound, she finds empty corridors, broken clocks, and phones that carry only static. A stranger in the boiler room may know a way out, but passage home has a price—and the thing upstairs is still searching for her. “Inbetween” blends liminal-space horror, medical anxiety, and a monster’s relentless pursuit in a hospital where even time has stopped working.
