Step aboard… if you dare.

This is Manuscript Found in a Bottle, Edgar Allan Poe’s chilling nautical tale of shipwreck, spectral vessels, and the slow descent into madness at sea.

First published in 1833, this eerie story launched Poe’s literary career and set the tone for generations of gothic horror to come.

In this atmospheric reading, you’ll be swept into a nightmarish voyage filled with mystery, dread, and a creeping sense of doom.

🌊A tale of isolation, insanity, and the supernatural – all aboard a ghost ship no one can escape.

A chilling case file unfolds when paranormal investigator James Becker is hired to help a frightened woman in the wealthy Heaven’s Hills development. But what begins as whispers of howls in the night quickly spirals into blood, betrayal, and the summoning of a hellish beast.

In this terrifying original horror story by Joe Solmo, the line between hunter and prey is shattered. Who is the true Hellhowler—and what sinister price must be paid when a demon dog prowls in the shadows?

Brace yourself for a tale of black magic, monstrous hounds, and the darkest corners of human desire.

The Hellhowler by Joe Solmo

Over 20 severed human feet have mysteriously washed ashore along the coastlines of British Columbia and Washington since 2007—each one inside a sneaker. With no matching bodies, and no clear foul play, the phenomenon captured global attention and ignited a firestorm of urban legends, hoaxes, and theories.

In this gripping true crime deep dive, we explore the eerie timeline of these chilling discoveries, uncover the forensic science that explains how feet can naturally disarticulate, and examine the media frenzy that turned a natural phenomenon into modern-day folklore.

Was it a serial killer? A string of tragic accidents? Or something even stranger?

My dear, there are nights when the air feels heavier… when the darkness clings to you like damp earth. On such nights, the dead may walk, killers may strike unseen, and strange lights may beckon you to your doom.

This evening, we have five stories steeped in shadow and dread:where corpses refuse to rest, reptiles hiss in the dark, and midnight becomes the hour when all debts are paid.

🪦 The Walking Corpse
Some graves are sealed with more than dirt. When the dead man’s shadow stretches further than it should… you may already be too late.

🐍 Serenade for a Cobra
A melody can soothe—or it can strike. And this one has fangs.

🕛 Murder at Midnight
In the silence of the witching hour, even a whisper can kill.

🔥 Fire in the Sky
Strange lights. A heat you can feel in your bones. And the moment you realize it isn’t coming from this world.

💔 Can’t We Be Friends
Some friendships should never begin… and some endings are worse than death.

So stay close, my dear. The night is long, and the stories are waiting.

🗡️ “There are worse things out tonight than vampires.”

We’re rolling through August’s infamous “Dumping Ground” Month with a cult-defining banger you can truly sink your teeth into. This week, Henrique and David hit Los Angeles for a late-90s juggernaut that revitalized the superhero genre and made vampires cool again: BLADE (1998).

A half-vampire, half-mortal warrior becomes the protector of humanity, carving through the undead with style, swagger, and a katana to match.

Directed by Stephen Norrington and starring Wesley Snipes, Stephen Dorff, and Kris Kristofferson.

🎧 In this episode we cover:

• Is there another film with a more memorable opening?
• The wild logistics of a blood rave—how would that even work?
• Is Wesley Snipes the only actor who could’ve pulled this off?
• Just how much techno can one movie hold?
• Is Whistler secretly the coolest character?

🔥 PLUS:

• The wild variety of 90s vampire movies
• The state of superhero films after Batman & Robin
• Is Liam Neeson a worthy successor to Leslie Nielsen in The Naked Gun?
• Was 20 years too long—or just right—for a Freaky Friday sequel?
• A teaser for next week’s pick: a rulebook David’s been breaking while prepping 👀

My dear, the dead may rest easy—but the living rarely do.

Tonight, we unearth three chilling tales where suspicion creeps like a fog, justice arrives cloaked in night, and innocence proves no protection at all. Each story drips with dread, pulling you deeper into the shadows until the truth becomes just another grave waiting to be filled.

⚰️ Under Grave Suspicion
A small town funeral home. A body with secrets. A family that won’t stop asking questions… until it’s far too late.

🌒 Night Man
When the sun sets, he rises. A silent protector—or a silent predator? In a city rotting with fear, one man keeps score in blood.

🕊️ The Good Die Young
Youth doesn’t guarantee mercy. When the world turns on its most innocent, what’s left but vengeance?

So lean in, my dear.And if you feel someone watching… don’t turn around too quickly.They only move when you look away.

Prepare to be disturbed…

In this chilling reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar, we dive into one of Poe’s most gruesome and scientifically provocative stories. What happens when a man is mesmerized at the moment of death? And what unspeakable horror lies in keeping the dead in a trance?

Originally published in 1845, this short story pushed boundaries with its grotesque imagery and shocking finale—and still manages to haunt readers nearly two centuries later.

Whether you’re a fan of classic horror, gothic literature, or just looking for something truly unsettling… this tale will leave you breathless.

🕯️Narrated with eerie precision and atmospheric sound, this presentation brings Poe’s macabre masterpiece to life.

Summer of ’76. Two best friends. One secluded campsite. And an ax-wielding killer lurking in the woods…

This week on Weekly Spooky, we bring you a brutal, blood-soaked tale of survival and terror in the wilds of Oregon. When Janine and Rose set out for a dreamy backpacking trip to the legendary Fortune Falls, they expected scenic views and self-discovery—not a descent into horror.

But as night falls, headlights appear. A red truck. A man in a cowboy hat. An ax. And no one to hear them scream.

Inspired by gritty 1970s slashers and true crime headlines, David O’Hanlon delivers a savage, emotional, and unforgettable survival story. Featuring raw violence, heartbreaking choices, and a promise of revenge that refuses to die, Fortune Falls will leave you breathless.

My dear, not all love stories end in tragedy—Some begin with it.

In this collection of four chilling tales, we wander through the dim corridors of human darkness: where affection turns fatal, relics thirst for blood, and even the most precise minds unravel beneath the weight of murder.

💍 Deadly Honeymoon
A secluded paradise, a newlywed couple, and a secret too dangerous to keep. Some vows were never meant to be kept.

🔫 Kill
He arrives without a name. He leaves without a trace. But when his list is complete… only silence remains.

🔨 The Power of the Hammer
Old tools carry weight, and some demand blood. When ancient power returns, the cost is far greater than you’d imagine.

🧠 Murder by an Expert
A mind like a scalpel. A crime like a symphony. But even the most elegant plans can leave behind an echo.

So please, lean in close… and listen well.Because death rarely shouts—It whispers.

Beware the full moon… it’s not just folklore — it’s feed lore.
This Weekly Spooky compilation brings together five ferocious tales of werewolves, shape-shifters, and murderous little monsters that transform the ordinary into pure nightmare fuel. Whether it’s a bloodthirsty beast stalking a rural town or a teenage girl struggling to keep her inner monster at bay, these stories will leave you howling for more.
Featured Stories:

• Wolf Moon: A chilling classic werewolf tale where something in the woods is watching… and hungry.
• Eh, Real Monsters from NEPA: A punny title hides a dark story of small-town werewolf terror.

• Bringing Out the Wolf in Me: A high school student faces a monstrous temper—and a very real transformation.

The explosive finale to the Weekly Spooky summer horror saga!

Bella Taibon — vampire, cheerleader, and descendant of the powerful Taibon bloodline — is offered a second chance to undo her greatest regret. But accepting the Hellweaver’s compact means going back to 1889… and facing a deadly betrayal that shattered her family.

Now, armed with the memories and powers of her future self, Bella must fight to stop an alien vampire hybrid, save her bloodline, and kill the most dangerous creature she’s ever known: Thornton Jillian.

But as Bella rewrites history to protect her loved ones, the goddess of Perdition reveals her true plan… and Bella learns that winning her soul back may have doomed the multiverse.
