  • This Week in Horror History | Christine, The Wolfman & Scream 2 (December 8–14)

    This Week in Horror History | Christine, The Wolfman & Scream 2 (December 8–14)
    Dec 9 2025
    Horror movies, holiday slashers, and classic monster mayhem collide in this episode of This Week in Horror History, covering December 8–14 in spooky cinema. We dig into the releases, icons, and deep cuts that shaped horror long before Christmas morning ever arrived.
    This week’s watch list includes:
    • Christine (1983) – John Carpenter’s sleek, icy adaptation of Stephen King’s killer-car novel. We look at how this haunted Plymouth went from a modest box office performer to a cult favorite thanks to its mood, music, and vicious metal-on-flesh set pieces.
    • The Wolfman (1941) – Lon Chaney Jr.’s tragic Larry Talbot helped define the sympathetic monster and rewrote the rules for werewolf lore. We talk legacy, atmosphere, and why this frosty Universal chiller still plays perfectly on a cold December night.
    • Scream 2 (1997) – Meta slashers head to college as Sidney Prescott and Ghostface return in a sequel that should’ve fizzled but absolutely works. Film theory, sequel rules, and late-’90s horror energy all collide in one of the most successful slasher follow-ups ever.
    • Maniac Cop 2 (1990) – An undead cop, wild stunts, and a grimy New York that feels like a haunted maze. We spotlight why this over-the-top sequel is a cult gem for fans of action-horror hybrids.

    We also roll through a birthday crawl for some horror legends: Rick Baker, Vampira, Bill Nighy, and Dee Wallace, celebrating how their work reshaped monsters, ghosts, and genre weirdos across decades.
    In our “Then and Now: Meta Slashers” segment, we use Scream 2 as a jumping-off point to talk about how self-aware horror evolved—from ’90s snark to today’s nostalgia-driven, legacy-sequel era. And for your weekly recommendation, we head back to the 1950s with Tarantula (1955), a giant-spider creature feature that channels Cold War anxieties into big, creepy fun and pairs beautifully with other atomic-age monster flicks.
    All that plus our mid-show sponsor break with Cozy Earth—ultra-comfy bedding perfect for staying warm while you binge horror history marathons in December.
    If you love horror podcasts, classic monster movies, ’80s Stephen King adaptations, and meta slasher sequels, this week’s trip through the dates will fill your holiday season watchlist and keep your nights eerie all December long.

  • Terrifying & True | Frau Perchta, the Christmas Witch: Alpine Folklore and Chilling Christmas Horror

    Terrifying & True | Frau Perchta, the Christmas Witch: Alpine Folklore and Chilling Christmas Horror
    Dec 8 2025
    Terrifying & True returns with dark Christmas horror rooted in real Alpine folklore and chilling winter horror stories. Long before cozy Hallmark snowfalls, families in the high Alps spent the Twelve Nights of Christmas fearing a “Christmas Witch” who might reward your hard work… or split you open and stuff you with straw if you broke her rules. This is the terrifying legend of Frau Perchta and her horned horde, the Perchten – where festive lights, fasting days, and spinning wheels turn into a deadly checklist for survival.
    In this holiday special, we dive into the eerie, mature side of winter tradition, where spooky stories, urban legends, and brutal morality tales kept entire villages in line through the darkest nights of the year. If you crave Christmas horror that feels older and sharper than anything under the tree, this is your episode.
    Inside this episode:
    • The rules of the Christmas Witch: Why Alpine families raced to finish their spinning, scrub their homes, and eat a strict Twelfth Night meal before Epiphany, terrified that one broken tradition could invite Perchta’s knife.
    • Belly-Slitter punishments straight out of horror stories: From trampled weaving to the infamous eviscerations stuffed with straw and stones, we unpack how this gruesome myth drove real-world discipline in a brutal winter landscape.
    • From Bright Goddess to winter monster: How a once-benevolent “Bright One” and Lady of Epiphany was demonized by the Church into a sinister Christmas hag, complete with goose-foot, ragged robes, and a curse-laden black cloth.
    • Wild Hunts and haunted Alpine nights: The chilling tales of Perchta’s ghostly procession screaming across the winter sky, dragging lost souls and unbaptized children in her wake, and why villagers locked doors and clutched charms when the wind howled.
    • The Perchten, Krampus, and other holiday terrors: Meet the beautiful and ugly Perchten, see how they inspired modern Krampus runs, and compare them to figures like Belsnickel and Père Fouettard in a full-blown Christmas rogues’ gallery.
    • Living traditions in the spooky season: How today’s Perchtenläufe—massive parades of horned masks, cowbells, and towering headdresses—keep this eerie anthology of winter legends alive in the mountains, blending folk horror with festival fun.

    This episode is perfect for listeners who love folklore, chilling stories, and mature themes that turn cozy Christmas nostalgia into something far more eerie, scary, and unforgettable. When the holidays get too sweet, remember: in some places, kids didn’t just fear coal in their stocking—they feared Frau Perchta at the door.
    We’re telling that story tonight.

  • Unknown Broadcast | Six Horror Stories of Fate, Hubris, and the Crawling Night

    Unknown Broadcast | Six Horror Stories of Fate, Hubris, and the Crawling Night
    Dec 7 2025
    Ah, there you are, my dear. Unknown Broadcast arrives with old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR chills, and the kind of radio suspense that leans close enough to fog the glass. Tonight, six shadows take attendance:
    • 👶 Child of Misfortune — Some lives are born owing. Fate keeps the ledger; the interest is fear.
    • 👑 King of the World — When ego crowns itself, the fall kneels to no one. Power is a lovely mask, my dear—until it slips.
    • 🎁 A Good Thing — A perfect gift with teeth in the ribbon. Luck smiles wide enough to bite.
    • 🕷️ Crawling Thing — Something moves where the light refuses to go. Don’t name it; names make doors.
    • 🧱 Subbasement — Beneath the basement lies another key, another lock, another breath that isn’t yours.
    • 🎨 Fear Paints a Picture — A portrait that stares back and keeps staring. Brushstrokes become a séance; the frame refuses to close.

    Lean closer, my dear. We’ll pass the hush like a dish at table—classic OTR horror stories, radio suspense, and the signal that calls itself Unknown Broadcast long after the set goes cold.
