I’m Banking On It | A Halloween Vampire Story Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

On Halloween night, a hungry vampire comes knocking at a bankrupt blood bank in “I’m Banking On It” by Tyler Belmont. Paralegal Trevor Gillespie is stuck guarding the place, and his unwanted visitor needs an invitation. Trevor has legal orders to keep everyone out, a stubborn streak, and no patience for supernatural sales pitches. But when a vampire listens this closely, one careless sentence could turn an annoying shift into a fight for survival.
Henrique Couto narrates this darkly funny Halloween horror story, blending classic vampire rules, deadpan humor, and a very bad night at work on Weekly Spooky.

Terrifying & True | Hex Hollow Murder: Killing to Break a Curse Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

The Hex Hollow murder began with a search for a book and a lock of hair. In 1928, three attackers killed Pennsylvania farmer Nelson Rehmeyer, believing he had cursed them. Their attempt to burn away the evidence failed. Follow the York County investigation, the trials, and the headlines that turned a folk healer into a sinister legend. With voices from the Hex Hollow documentary, we separate Pennsylvania Dutch powwow traditions from accusations of harmful magic and return to the man behind the story. How did fear of a curse become permission for violence?
We're telling that story tonight.
