"DreamShare" - Scary Stories Told in the Dark
2026/09/23
DreamShare promises the ultimate escape: a world built from imagination, where friends can share impossible adventures, abandoned dreams can become reality, and the limits of waking life no longer apply. For Evan Delaney, it begins as everything the advertisements promised. Each night offers another breathtaking world and another reason to leave ordinary life behind. Then an unfamiliar man appears inside a private dream—watching Evan, following him, and uncovering memories no stranger should possess. Soon, pieces of Evan’s subconscious begin surfacing in the waking world. People know his secrets. The application refuses to remain deleted. And the mysterious visitor makes it clear that Evan’s dreams no longer belong to him. To reclaim his mind, Evan must uncover what DreamShare is truly collecting—and confront the presence waiting beneath its most beautiful illusions. But in a world where consciousness has become the ultimate commodity, waking up may no longer be enough to escape. Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
"The Hairy Hands of Briar's Bend" - Scary Stories Told in the Dark
2026/09/15
After losing his career, his marriage, and nearly everything he had saved, Caleb returns to his quiet Midwestern hometown hoping to begin again. Instead, he encounters a warning that has circulated through the community for generations: never travel Briar’s Bend after dark. The isolated road has been the site of countless unexplained accidents. Drivers report losing control on clear nights, their vehicles suddenly pulled toward the trees by a force they cannot see. Older residents claim the cause is something known only as the Hairy Hands. Caleb has no patience for ghost stories—until an invisible grip seizes his steering wheel. Drawn into the road’s disturbing history, Caleb discovers decades of crashes, frightened survivors, and accounts that conventional explanations cannot resolve. The closer he comes to understanding Briar’s Bend, the more dangerously personal its legend becomes. Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
"My Next Door Neighbor is a Monster" - Scary Stories Told in the Dark
2026/09/01
Richard Prasse has had strange neighbors before. None of them were anything like Eliza Munoz. Beautiful, mysterious, and surrounded by a seemingly endless procession of late-night visitors, Eliza quickly becomes an irresistible distraction for the lonely medical resident living next door. But when curiosity draws Richard across the hallway at exactly the wrong moment, he discovers that the sounds coming from Eliza's apartment aren't evidence of an unusually active love life. They're evidence of something hungry. Soon Richard finds himself trapped between attraction and terror as the woman he can't stop thinking about reveals a side of herself no human being was ever meant to see. And when another dangerous figure from Eliza's past appears, Richard realizes that his neighbor may not be the only monster in the building.

"They Feed at Night" - Scary Stories Told in the Dark
2026/08/31
Eight-year-old Terrance is supposed to be asleep. Instead, he's listening to something scratch against his second-story bedroom window. At first, it sounds like a branch brushing the glass. Then it comes again—slower, sharper, deliberate. And when Terrance finally gathers the courage to look outside, he finds a pale face staring back at him from a place no one should be able to stand. Within moments, an ordinary night in a quiet suburban home becomes a desperate fight for survival as Terrance and his family discover they aren't dealing with a prowler—or anything else that should exist. Pale figures are gathering outside. They are impossibly fast, terrifyingly persistent, and very, very hungry. And once they've chosen a home, locked doors may not be enough to keep them out.

S19E10 - "The Devil's Footprints" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
2026/08/10
This week, Scary Stories Told in the Dark presents an unforgettable tale of obsession, grief, and the lingering footprints left behind by monsters who hide behind friendly smiles and impeccable reputations. In it, we meet a father, whose decades-long search for answers leads him into the forgotten mountains of Appalachia, every mile bringing him closer to a truth more horrifying than he ever imagined. The man he's hunting is already dead, but as we'll soon discover, evil doesn't always perish with the body that carried it. Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
S19E09 - "Divine Decay" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
2026/08/09
Death is supposed to be the end. At least... that's what we've always believed. But deep in the forgotten corners of America, hidden beyond the maps and untouched by time, there are places where decay is worshipped, where the dead are welcomed home, and where the greatest horror isn't dying... It's being invited to become part of something eternal. Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
S19E08 - "Beyond the Last Light" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
2026/08/01
There are places we instinctively know not to go. The woods beyond the old fence. The forgotten chamber sealed beneath centuries of dust. The distant glow that beckons from the darkness, promising wonder while concealing something far older—and infinitely more patient. In this unsettling episode of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, childhood curiosity collides with unspeakable terror, while a brilliant scholar uncovers a mystery so profound it threatens to erase him from history itself.

S19E03 - "A Study in Guilt" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
2026/03/02
In this chilling installment of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, Malcolm Blackwood invites listeners into a night of psychological horror where the most terrifying things are not monsters lurking in the dark, but the choices people make when grief, rage, and temptation press in from all sides. Featuring Mak Ralston’s “All Hands Are Red,” this episode descends into a world of contradiction, private pain, and quiet moral collapse, where justice and vengeance begin to resemble one another in all the worst ways. Darkly intimate, unnerving, and steeped in dread, this is a tale for anyone who’s ever wondered what it really takes to push an ordinary person past the point of no return.

S19E02 - "Undoing Death" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
2026/02/22
In this chilling installment of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you into a tale where love refuses to accept loss… and where a single miscalculation could mean the difference between reunion and ruin. When tragedy strikes, one desperate soul begins searching for answers beyond the limits of science—and discovers that some doors don’t simply open. They require instructions. Precision. Timing. And the willingness to follow through, no matter the cost. If you were given the chance to undo the unthinkable to bring back someone or something you loved… would you be able to resist?

S19E01 - "Nameless Games" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
2026/02/15
A new season begins… and this time, the danger doesn’t hide in graveyards or abandoned houses. It waits in fluorescent hallways. In tidy institutions. In the quiet rules no one questions. In our latest episode, we open with a story that lingers long after the lights go out: a tale of silence, survival, and the subtle cruelty that can pass for harmless play. When being unnoticed becomes a defense mechanism, and obedience becomes a habit, something begins to learn from it. Something patient. Something practiced. Because sometimes the most dangerous thing you can be… is easy to forget.

S18E24 - "Lies in Lantern Light" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
2026/02/08
The harvest season is nearly over. The lanterns are lit. And some visitors don’t wait for October to knock. On a quiet farmhouse porch, beneath the fading glow of autumn skies, grief lingers longer than the falling leaves. The crops have withered. The land is tired. And a man left alone with his memories begins to wonder whether the dark holds answers… or something far worse. This week, Scary Stories Told in the Dark closes Season 18 with a story that proves the most dangerous horrors aren’t the ones that chase you in the night. They’re the ones that convince you to open the door.
