In our latest episode, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you into four unnerving tales linked by a single, chilling truth: boundaries hold for only so long. A basement experiment reveals a presence that answers back. A remote clan guards its lives more literally than most. A grieving young man dares to claim a future never meant for him. And beneath a quiet suburban home, a hidden space begins to listen… then respond. These are stories about thresholds—physical, spiritual, and psychological—and the dread that comes when something unseen decides to cross them.

In this chilling collection of four darkly seductive tales, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you to step behind the mirror—into a world where vanity becomes a trap, elegance hides a pulse, and the pursuit of perfection opens doors best left closed. A girl desperate to belong follows her friends somewhere she shouldn’t. A bride-to-be falls for a dress that loves her a little too much. A newlywed brings home a bouquet whose roots reach deeper than soil.
And a young woman slips into a garment that promises a flawless silhouette… at a terrible cost. Alluring, atmospheric, and quietly devastating, Beauty Bites explores the dangerous hunger lurking beneath the surface of the things we admire most.

In this unforgettable installment of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you into a world where memory falters, reality bends, and the past refuses to stay buried. Four chilling tales await—each bound by the haunting truth that what slips from our grasp may not be gone at all… and sometimes, it wants to find its way back. Step into a ruined town where magic demands payment in pieces of the self. Wander a fog-soaked cemetery patrolled by a caretaker with one foot in another realm. Cross a field where the very air hums with secrets better left unremembered. And finally, follow the ripples of a drowning that never ended—because some debts don’t die with the body.

In this chilling collection of four atmospheric tales, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you into a world where monsters aren’t always born—they’re built. Sometimes through love. Sometimes through cruelty. Sometimes through curiosity that digs too deep. A boy’s innocent fascination grows teeth of its own. A perfect romance hides a secret that waits until nightfall. An underground arena reveals what happens when ambition rewrites the human body. And a daughter’s return home uncovers a father’s devotion stretched far beyond sanity. Each story strips back the comforting illusion of safety to expose the uncomfortable truth: the worst terrors are often handcrafted by human hands.

In this chilling journey into the places where distance deceives and the familiar betrays, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you to travel the roads best left untraveled. Within these four unnerving tales, towns shift when no one is watching, land pulls tighter with every breath, roads refuse to lead where they should, and old grudges burn hot enough to follow their makers beyond the grave. Boundaries blur. Memory slips. Landmarks move. And every mile brings you closer to discovering that the world you trust may be quietly rearranging itself around you. Step into an episode where space bends, time thins, and every direction leads deeper into the unknown. Just be careful how far you wander—some places remember you… even when you don’t remember them.

In this chilling collection, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you to peer beneath the surface, where forgotten things stir in silence and the line between curiosity and doom grows thin. A mysterious invitation. A box dredged from dark water. A code that whispers in the voice of the dead. A light that should not exist beneath the waves. Each tale in What Sleeps Beneath leads further into the murk—where art becomes obsession, technology becomes faith, and the water remembers everything it’s been shown.

In this chilling new episode of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you to step past the glow of the campfire and into the places where fear breathes freely—under floorboards, deep within the woods, and in the hollow silence of the human heart. Four tales unfold: of words that write themselves, paths that refuse to end, forests that remember, and temptations that wear a friendly smile. Each story is a reminder that light doesn’t banish the dark—it only shows you where it begins.

Step into the latest installment of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, where the line between what we know and what we fear unravels thread by thread. Host Malcolm Blackwood guides you through four haunting visions from acclaimed author L.P. Hernandez, each tale a descent into a world that should not exist—but does. In these pages of sound, reflections shift, invitations conceal hidden costs, distant horizons whisper back, and childhood innocence masks something far older. Prepare for an evening where reality itself falters, and nothing you trust can be taken at face value.
"The Tattooed Man" by L.P. Hernandez – Jason begins noticing strange flashes of himself in unexpected places—reflections that don’t move as they should, doubles that live lives uncannily like his own. Drawn into a reality that overlaps with his own, he discovers that what stares back at him may not simply be a reflection but a rival self with darker secrets. A chilling tale of identity and intrusion, this story probes the terrifying possibility that we are not as singular as we believe.
"The Invitation" by L.P. Hernandez – When Anthony “Tony” accepts the friendship of an older man who seems warm and fatherly, he is surprised to be invited to a refined dinner party. But beneath the glitter of tuxedos and polite smiles, he senses a growing unease—one that suggests the evening is not at all what it seems. A sinister exploration of trust, manipulation, and the dangers of belonging, this story leaves you questioning the true cost of acceptance.
"The Last Man on Mars" by L.P. Hernandez – Astronaut Adam Pelegrina believed his mission was to prepare Mars for colonization, but isolation has worn thin, and communications with Earth have grown disturbingly irregular. When he begins receiving covert transmissions, he learns the planet he left behind may no longer exist as he knew it. A stark and unsettling vision of abandonment and revelation, this story captures the dread of being alone where no one can reach you.
"Little Boy" by L.P. Hernandez – Charlotte and her young son, Ethan, are eager to start fresh in their new home. But when Ethan’s “imaginary friend” begins revealing knowledge and behaviors no child should possess, Charlotte realizes their new house harbors something far more sinister than creaking floorboards. A haunting tale of innocence corrupted and unseen presences, this story reminds us that sometimes the scariest playmates are the ones who shouldn’t be there at all.

Scary Stories Told in the Dark returns with “Portraits of Madness,” a nightmarish descent into the fragile line between comfort and terror. In this special installment, every tale comes from rising horror author Jason A. Jones, whose gift for twisting the ordinary into the monstrous will leave you questioning what you thought was safe. Step into a world where holiday traditions conceal unspoken hungers, where heirlooms whisper devotion that curdles into dread, where survivors carry more than scars, and where the tools we trust may one day betray us.

In the quiet comfort of suburbia, where porches glow and curtains close, the real nightmares begin.

Step inside, if you dare—because tonight, the monsters live closer than you think.

In the season finale of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, Otis Jiry and Malcolm Blackwood invite you into a world where hunger takes many shapes—and none of them are easily satisfied. From whispers in forgotten recordings to strange visions on the brink of death, from shadows that stalk the lonely to companions that serve with unsettling devotion, each tale tonight asks the same question: what happens when the things we rely on most turn out to crave us in return? Step into the dark. Listen closely. And remember—sometimes, the greatest danger isn’t what you feed, but what feeds on you.

In our latest episode, five journeys into the forbidden open doors that should have stayed shut. A quiet city park hides something that glides just out of sight. A rotting house hums with secrets in its tangled walls. Powerlines mark the edge of a clearing where the air feels wrong. An eclipse reveals a world no one was meant to see. And deep in the woods, an old hunting stand offers a view of something you can’t unsee. From author Jesse Pullins comes a quintet of nightmares where curiosity, chance, and bad decisions cross the wrong thresholds.

There are places you’re told not to go. The space under the bed. The room at the end of the hall. The shadows between gravestones. The still water at midnight. The line between here… and somewhere else entirely. In this chilling collection, Otis Jiry and Malcolm Blackwood invite you to step past those thresholds—into the corners of the world where patience belongs to the dark, and curiosity is a debt that must be paid. Five tales await, each a descent into the unseen: intimate horrors that stalk your most familiar spaces, encounters with the dead that refuse to stay buried, and journeys to realms that should never be crossed.

They say the void is empty—but what if it’s full of want? In this unnerving installment of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, hosts Otis Jiry and Malcolm Blackwood guide you through five tales where something unspeakable stirs just beyond the veil. From strange phenomena found in forgotten places to gifts demanded by forces older than memory, these stories aren’t just about fear—they’re about the things we summon when we hurt, when we hope, and when we lose control. Whether it crawls from beneath the floorboards, calls through the fog, or peers back from your reflection… what’s born from the void is never what you expect.

A desperate woman agrees to one harmless night of performance… but games can be deadly. And deep beneath the Wyoming hills, something left behind refuses to stay buried.
