Anthology of Horror
A horror variety show.
Episodes
For centuries, ships and planes have vanished at sea, leaving behind no wreckage, no bodies, and no clear answers. Over time, those disappearances stopped being treated as tragic accidents and started becoming something else entirely.
In this episode of Anthology of Horror, Spring Heeled Jack takes a deep dive into the Bermuda Triangle—from humanity’s earliest relationship with the ocean, to ghost ships, famous vanishings lik...
Today’s holiday special is a long-form, winter-drenched marathon of storytelling, packed tight with new music, guest voices, and enough raffles to make Santa question his business model. This episode features a full slate of eerie tales pulled from the stranger corners of Reddit, shaped and sharpened under the pen of Mickie Eberz, whose script turns online folklore into something far colder and far more immersive. In studio,...
Tonight, Anthology of Horror resurrects one of America’s most enduring ghost stories — The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Originally written by Washington Irving, this timeless tale of superstition, ambition, and fear has been adapted and rewritten by Spring Heeled Jack for modern audiences.
Set in the mist-shrouded valley of Sleepy Hollow, the story follows Ichabod Crane, an ambitious schoolmaster whose vanity and greed draw him i...
Tonight marks the end of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special — thirty-one consecutive nights of darkness, madness, and beautifully unhinged storytelling. For the grand finale, host Spring Heeled Jack closes the season by turning the mic over to the listeners themselves. The night’s stories come straight from the audience: true confessions, eerie encounters, cursed objects, and the strange, sometimes funny, sometimes te...
On Night 30 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, we exhume something ancient, something sealed away for a reason. Written by Tenac, “The Black Sarcophagus” drags listeners into the world of cursed relics, buried secrets, and the arrogance of those who disturb the dead. Inspired by the pulpy charm of old adventure-horror tales and the timeless dread of what lies beneath the sand, this story reminds us that some doors...
Guest host Elle Green presents “Curation,” a chilling vision of the dystopian future of humanity. Stripped of speculation and delivered as written, the story examines the remnants of a world where what defines humanity—memory, art, and identity—has been cataloged, controlled, and preserved long after the living have forgotten why.

On Night 28 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, simplicity becomes sinister in “One Word Story” by Anthony Naranjo. It’s a tale that strips horror down to its bare bones—tight, precise, and quietly unnerving. The premise seems harmless at first, but as the words begin to build, something dark begins to emerge between the lines.
Tension grows not from what’s said, but from what isn’t. Each word carries weight, each s...
Tonight’s episode of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special features an anonymously submitted story titled “The Well.” It arrived without background or explanation—only a short note claiming that it’s true. Whether it is or not remains up for debate, but one thing’s certain: there’s something unsettling about the way it was written, something that feels too specific to dismiss outright. We present it here exactly as it wa...
On Night 26 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, we step into the flickering workshop of memory with “My Grandfather’s Final Invention” by Alice Thompson—a haunting story of legacy, obsession, and the ghosts we leave behind in the name of progress.
It begins with a granddaughter uncovering the remnants of her grandfather’s secret work—an invention whispered about but never revealed. What she finds in the dust and sha...
Tonight’s episode of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special drifts into that uneasy territory where folklore, rumor, and reality blur together. This chilling account—submitted by an anonymous author—claims to be based on actual events. What begins as an unremarkable story soon twists into something much darker, something that feels too personal, too vivid, and too specific to be entirely fabricated. Whether it’s truth or ...
Tonight’s episode of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special descends into the fractured mind of a grieving war widow in “The Shattering,” written by Olivia Gates. What begins as a quiet portrait of loss soon splinters into something far more unsettling—a slow, creeping unraveling of perception and memory that blurs the line between grief and madness.
As reality slips through the cracks, we’re left to wonder: is she being h...
Tonight’s story imagines a terrifying afterlife for those who fail to live morally: a slow, relentless reckoning where consequence becomes architecture and regret is its climate. Woundlicker’s tale unfolds as a grim parable—no cheap judgment, just a steady, bone-deep logic that shows how small compromises and cruelties can harden into an eternity you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. Kayvan Shai’s narration brings a hardene...
A salty, claustrophobic ride set against the open water: this story leans into the ocean’s ability to feel both endless and intimately threatening. Woundlicker’s piece unspools as a series of escalating discoveries—small, uncanny details that accumulate until the sea itself starts to feel like an active, knowing presence. Expect tight pacing, sudden jolts, and an atmosphere that turns wide horizons into something dangerously...
Tonight’s episode is hosted by Nikki Knightly — model and spiritualist — who shares a set of frightening, personal stories and experiences drawn from her own life. The episode blends first-hand anecdotes with reflections on the spiritual and the uncanny, offering listeners a direct, intimate take on encounters that unsettled her and stuck with her afterward.

Tonight’s episode — Marked for Death by Jay Darkmoore — follows a man on a fog-heavy night in the Irish countryside who runs headfirst into far more than he bargained for. The story leans into isolation and atmosphere: low visibility, old roads, and the way a landscape can feel suddenly hostile when you’re the only moving thing in it. Expect a tight, mood-driven piece where small choices and strange moments stack up into som...
Tonight’s episode features Kate — research assistant, resident whiz kid, and making her podcast debut — walking listeners through the history of Halloween from ancient rites to modern traditions. Kate traces the festival’s roots, how rituals and beliefs shifted across eras, and how those old practices morphed into the costumes, customs, and commercial rituals we know today. Clear, informative, and packed with context, this e...
Leon Cowles, a Portland resident, recounts a hike through Forest Park that turns from ordinary to quietly menacing. At the Witches House—an infamous local gathering spot—he finds signs of recent occult activity: arranged offerings, scorched earth, and symbols carved into bark. The discovery unsettles him, but it’s what comes later that tightens the knot: while moving through the trees he becomes aware of something large movi...
Tonight’s episode follows a young woman frayed by work and sleeplessness who begins to see a girl in her new mirror — a presence that may be a spirit, a hallucination, or the product of a taxed mind. The story keeps the question unsettled, letting the ambiguity do the work.

Tonight’s episode follows a college trip to Ireland that unravels in ways nobody expected—maps go wrong, plans fracture, and what was supposed to be a weekend of drink and dares turns into a tightening, uncanny sequence of missteps. The story leans on atmosphere and escalating dread: small mistakes compound, local strangers matter more than they should, and the group discovers that sometimes the landscape keeps a grudge. It’...
A first-person confession about joining a hedonistic cult in the 1980s and the long, ugly cost of membership—how youthful thrills calcify into obligation and shame. Stark, guilty, and quietly corrosive.
