    Best of 2025: Spin the Bottle — A Deadly College Slasher Horror Story
    Jan 10 2026
    Weekly Spooky is kicking off Best of 2025 by revisiting one of the year’s most unforgettable nightmares: a college horror novella where a simple night out becomes a spin-the-bottle slasher spiral.

    Samara thinks she’s just stepping outside her comfort zone—new look, new crush, new rules. But in Strickfield, the party games don’t stay playful for long. A jealous ex, a too-perfect date, a crowded house full of grinning faces… and the sick feeling that someone is steering the night toward something violent. When flirting turns to fear and the bottle points to the wrong person, Samara is dragged into a nightmare of obsession, humiliation, and survival—and the real game doesn’t end when you say “stop.”

    Inside this episode:
    • College dating dread and a night that goes off the rails
    • Fraternity party games that turn predatory
    • Possession, jealousy, and obsession with a body count waiting in the dark
    • Masked terror and the feeling you were chosen for a reason

    If you love slasher horror, dark romance, twisty psychological dread, and long-form horror stories that escalate like a runaway train—this one’s for you. Follow Weekly Spooky for more year-round scares, and don’t miss the rest of our Best of 2025 picks all month long.

  • Best of 2025: Winter Horror Stories, Cryptids & Wendigo Folklore

    Best of 2025: Winter Horror Stories, Cryptids & Wendigo Folklore
    Jan 9 2026
    Bundle up, my spookies—this Best of 2025 episode of the Weekly Spooky horror podcast is a snow-choked compilation built for year-round bingeing: winter horror, blizzard dread, creature features, and a finale that pivots into true crime + folklore with a chilling Terrifying & True deep dive.

    Inside this Best of 2025 compilation:
    • “I Love the Cold” — Jonathan Lumpkin • A quiet winter evening turns wrong when comfort gives way to a creeping, unnatural chill—and the cold starts to feel less like weather and more like a presence.
    • “The Blizzard of ’58: Never Meet Your Idols” — Bruce Haney • A fan’s dream encounter collides with a historic storm, where admiration curdles into obsession and the whiteout becomes a trap you can’t charm your way out of.
    • “I Was Stalked by a Monster from the Woods” — Michael Kelso • From a porch with binoculars to a tree line that moves on purpose, this one escalates into full-tilt cryptid horror—the kind that makes you stop looking out the window at night.
    • “The Wendigo Curse: A Legend of Greed and Destruction” (Terrifying & True) • We wrap with wendigo folklore, winter starvation terror, and the unsettling bridge between myth and documented history—where the legend becomes a warning… and the real world gets even darker.

    New here? These episodes stand alone—so hit play, lock the door, and tell us: which winter nightmare got under your skin the most?

  • BANNED! Part 1: Blizzard Horror Convention Murder Mystery Begins

    BANNED! Part 1: Blizzard Horror Convention Murder Mystery Begins
    Jan 7 2026
    Weekly Spooky horror podcast kicks off a brand-new New Year miniseries with a snowbound slasher mystery set inside a remote ski lodge where a horror convention is about to become a hunting ground.

    Seven years ago, a furious fan named Robbie Redden drove hours to meet an actress he idolized—only to be humiliated, thrown out, and branded with one unforgettable word. Now, as a fresh convention weekend begins in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a brutal storm rolls in… and the past rolls in with it.

    Featured guest Vickie Valentine arrives to sign photos, shoot scenes with filmmaker Henrique Couto, and survive the weekend—until the first horrific message is delivered the only way this killer knows how. Out in the freezing dark, a staffer discovers something impossible… and the word that started it all returns, carved into the night like a curse.

    Lock the doors. The blizzard is closing in. And someone is about to get BANNED.

    Banned! - Part 1 — by Rob Fields

  • Terrifying & True | 1993 Hamar-Daban Mystery: Siberia’s “Dyatlov Pass” Tragedy

    Terrifying & True | 1993 Hamar-Daban Mystery: Siberia’s “Dyatlov Pass” Tragedy
    Jan 5 2026
    Dive into chilling stories and eerie folklore with this terrifying true mystery from Siberia...A true crime / survival mystery in August 1993, seven hikers entered the Hamar-Daban Mountains of Buryatia (near Lake Baikal)—and only one walked back out. What happened on that windswept ridge has been called the “Buryat Dyatlov Pass”: a sudden storm, a frantic descent, and then a cascade of bizarre symptoms—foaming at the mouth, blood, panic, and collapse—leaving six bodies scattered on an exposed ledge while a terrified teen survivor staggered to a river and found help.
    Officials ruled hypothermia and closed the case. But the details refused to stay buried: claims of missing eyes later attributed to scavengers, questions about food and exhaustion, and theories ranging from toxic exposure to military testing to the possibility of cold/altitude-related pulmonary edema.
    Inside this episode:
    • The trek: Lyudmila Korovina leads six young hikers into the Hamar-Daban range
    • The turn: August 4–5 — a brutal storm hits at roughly 2,300 meters
    • The collapse: eyewitness survivor account of sudden convulsions and rapid deaths
    • The recovery: why the scene looked “impossible,” and what time + wildlife can do
    • The official file: why authorities said hypothermia—and what they dismissed
    • Theories vs. evidence: separating folklore from what the record can actually support

    This is a case where nature, fear, and unanswered questions collide—and the only person who knows the final minutes had to live with them forever. We’re telling that story tonight.

    Ah, there you are. Unknown Broadcast returns with old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR, and radio suspense for those who like the dark close and the volume low, my dear. Tonight the valves warm and the quiet learns to talk:

  • Small Town Secrets: Five Horror Stories of Hidden Cults, Monsters, and Dark Rituals

    Small Town Secrets: Five Horror Stories of Hidden Cults, Monsters, and Dark Rituals
    Jan 3 2026
    Small town horror stories hit different—because everyone knows your name… and everyone is hiding something. In this Weekly Spooky Vault compilation, we dig into Small Town Secrets where quiet streets cover up occult rituals, missing people, backwoods monsters, and ancient things that should’ve stayed buried. Lock your doors, kill the lights, and listen close—because the scariest part is how normal it all looks in daylight.

    • I Was Sent to a Small Town Where Strange Things Were Happening — Michael Kelso:
    A security specialist arrives in a remote New England “tourist town” and discovers the restoration project is a cover for something older—something that wears faces, erases memories, and waits beneath a church like a heartbeat in the dirt.

    • The Devil Reaps the Harvest — John Oak Dalton:
    A shady deal at an “abandoned factory” turns into a nightmare chase when buried experiments wake up hungry—dragging a town’s dirty secrets into the open with blood on the asphalt.

    • Eh, Real Monsters from NEPA — Michelle Antisocial:
    In rural Northeastern Pennsylvania, a bullied new kid, feral dog attacks, and livestock killings spiral into a full-moon panic… until the truth reveals who the real monster has been all along.

    • Sin — Rob Fields:
    At Strickfield Academy, a runaway with a stolen uniform finds a forbidden “bible” and embraces something far worse than rebellion—an occult ascension fueled by blood, devotion, and a demon-goddess calling from beyond.

    • The God Tongue — Dan Wilder:
    A voiceless outcast from Jayden’s Cross hunts in the fog, kills the wrong “stag,” and awakens an ancient lineage—forcing him to speak with voices that aren’t his… for a town that has been listening for centuries.

    New here? This episode stands alone—just press play and let the secrets crawl out. If you’ve been binging the Weekly Spooky feed, you already know the rule: small towns keep trophies.

  • Best of 2025: I Was Hunted by a Cryptid in a Snow Storm

    Best of 2025: I Was Hunted by a Cryptid in a Snow Storm
    Jan 2 2026
    Kick off the Best of 2025 with one of the most intense episodes we released on the Weekly Spooky horror podcast—a brutal winter survival horror story where a long-haul trucker gets trapped at a lonely truck stop after a sudden blizzard buries the world in white.

    The bathroom run turns into a nightmare when his tracks vanish, the store is locked and dark, and something moves in the storm—something too big, too patient, and too wrong to be a deer. Back in his cab, with fuel running low and the wind battering the doors, the real terror begins: nudges against the truck, glimpses of massive horns, and a towering creature with a skull-like face that keeps reappearing closer… like it’s learning him.

    Glass splinters. The windshield gives. The gunshots don’t do what they’re supposed to do. And when the only safe place left is beneath his own trailer, he realizes the storm isn’t trying to kill him nearly as much as whatever’s hiding inside it.

    If you love cryptid horror, creature features, blizzard horror, and stories about being stranded with a monster, this is a Best of 2025 must-listen.
