Grab your flashlights and circle up—because it's SPOOKTOBER, and we’re diving into the eerie world of spooky games you should (or really shouldn’t) play in the dark. From classic sleepover dares like Bloody Mary, to modern internet legends like the Elevator Game and the Midnight Game, these rituals blur the line between folklore, fun, and the supernatural.
We’ll uncover the chilling origins of these games, the rules that supposedly summon spirits, and the psychological theories behind why people are drawn to play them. Along the way, expect plenty of creepy storytelling, and of course—our signature blend of humor and shivers.
By the end, you’ll be asking yourself: are these just harmless party tricks… or invitations you should never send?

Elizabeth Bathory: The Blood Countess — Monster or Myth?
She bathed in blood to preserve her beauty... or did she?
In this chilling episode of Macabre: A Dark History Podcast, we journey deep into the shadowy halls of Castle Čachtice to uncover the truth behind Elizabeth Bathory — the woman dubbed "The Blood Countess" and "Countess Dracula."
Was she truly the most prolific female serial killer in history, torturing and murdering hundreds of young women in a sadistic quest for eternal youth? Or was she a powerful noblewoman caught in a web of political conspiracies and misogynistic rumors designed to strip her of power and wealth?
Join us as we sift through centuries-old testimonies, delve into the folklore that immortalized her, and confront the blood-soaked legends head-on. Is Elizabeth Bathory a monstrous murderer — or a misunderstood victim of history's darkest game of thrones?
