Transcribe →3 Terrifying Tales to Frighten and Delight
Apr 1200:39:25Tap to summarizeText usThere’s something different about tonight’s episode—something quieter, more deliberate… like the calm before something reaches out from the dark.Elle Green returns to Anthology of Horror, and she’s brought something special with her.Three hand-selected short stories. Three carefully chosen descents into the unknown. The kind of stories that don’t rely on spectacle, but instead creep in slowly—settling into your thoughts, your nerves, the spaces between silence. Each one carries its own weight, its own presence… and by the time they’re over, you may find yourself listening a little closer to the world around you.Elle doesn’t just narrate these stories—she guides you through them, step by step, like a lantern in a place where the light doesn’t quite reach as far as it should.So turn the lights down. Let the noise fade out.And step inside.CreditsProducers: Mickie Eberz, Anthony Landis (Spring Heeled Jack), Deborah Ross-SullivanNarration: Elle GreenClosing Song: “Far From You”Music & Melody by Scott WilsonLyrics by Slutty NicoleMusic by EmpressSupport the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43
Transcribe →The Bermuda Triangle and Ghost Ships
Feb 902:28:14Tap to summarizeText usFor centuries, ships and planes have vanished at sea, leaving behind no wreckage, no bodies, and no clear answers. Over time, those disappearances stopped being treated as tragic accidents and started becoming something else entirely.In this episode of Anthology of Horror, Spring Heeled Jack takes a deep dive into the Bermuda Triangle—from humanity’s earliest relationship with the ocean, to ghost ships, famous vanishings like Flight 19 and the USS Cyclops, and the long list of theories that followed. Ancient civilizations, aliens, time distortions, cryptids, magnetic anomalies—everything gets examined.But this isn’t the TV-special version of the story.This episode breaks down how and why the Bermuda Triangle myth was created, how real events were reshaped over time, and why busy shipping routes, weather systems, ocean currents, human decision-making, and simple math explain far more than any supernatural force ever could.Along the way, Spring Heeled Jack offers his own theory—one that may take the wind out of a few sails, but still leaves the ocean just as dangerous, indifferent, and fascinating as it’s always been.Episode CreditsHost & Writer:Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)Producer:Mickie EberzMusic:All music provided by The EmpressFind their music on SpotifyFeatured Track:“Siren's Promise” — The EmpressSpecial Shout-Out:Stories in the Cemetery podcastFollow & Vote on Future Episodes:Instagram — @dukelandis17Podcast:Anthology of HorrorSupport the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43
Transcribe →A Good Ol' Fashioned Stocking Stuffing
Dec 804:40:35Tap to summarizeText usToday’s holiday special is a long-form, winter-drenched marathon of storytelling, packed tight with new music, guest voices, and enough raffles to make Santa question his business model. This episode features a full slate of eerie tales pulled from the stranger corners of Reddit, shaped and sharpened under the pen of Mickie Eberz, whose script turns online folklore into something far colder and far more immersive. In studio, guest host Sam Stoutman returns to lend his steady presence to the chaos, joining main host Spring Heeled Jack for an episode that feels equal parts festive and unsettling—the perfect seasonal blend for listeners who prefer their Christmas lights flickering for reasons nobody can explain. Empress provides a suite of new holiday-adjacent tracks throughout the night, a mix of shimmering instrumentals and atmospheric pieces that set the tone for the stories ahead. The evening closes with their original song “Stuff My Stocking,” a decidedly unwholesome capstone to an already unpredictable special. With new stories, new music, and unexpected twists, this holiday episode stands as one of the most ambitious productions of the season.I'm convinced that nobody reads these summaries except for the Spotify AI pre screening bots. Spotify sucks ass. It's a dog shit platform, and I hope it fails. Slobber upon it you ghouls.CreditsScript written by Mickie EberzMusic written and recorded by EmpressProduced by Mickie Eberz and Spring Heeled JackGuest Host: Sam StoutmanMain Host: Spring Heeled JackClosing Song: “Stuff My Stocking” by EmpressSupport the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43
Transcribe →Hollow
Oct 3103:57:53Tap to summarizeText usTonight, Anthology of Horror resurrects one of America’s most enduring ghost stories — The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Originally written by Washington Irving, this timeless tale of superstition, ambition, and fear has been adapted and rewritten by Spring Heeled Jack for modern audiences.Set in the mist-shrouded valley of Sleepy Hollow, the story follows Ichabod Crane, an ambitious schoolmaster whose vanity and greed draw him into the heart of the Hollow’s oldest legend — the haunting of the Headless Horseman. Through fear and folly, Ichabod learns that some ghosts are born not from the grave, but from the darkness of the human heart.Like the legend itself, this episode bridges the old and the new — weaving classical horror with modern sound design and original scoring to create an immersive, cinematic experience.Credits:Original Story: Washington IrvingAdaptation & Rewrite: Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)Produced by: Mickie EberzPartial Score by: Scott WilsonMusic by: EmpressClosing Songs: both traditional folk songs reimagined and revived for a modern age, much like the story of Sleepy Hollow itself.Support the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43
Transcribe →Ye Olde Finale
Oct 3102:01:06Tap to summarizeText usTonight marks the end of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special — thirty-one consecutive nights of darkness, madness, and beautifully unhinged storytelling. For the grand finale, host Spring Heeled Jack closes the season by turning the mic over to the listeners themselves. The night’s stories come straight from the audience: true confessions, eerie encounters, cursed objects, and the strange, sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying things people swear have happened to them after midnight. Some are believable, some aren’t — but all of them are haunted in their own way.Scoring the night’s chaos is Empress, whose music has defined the tone of the entire Halloween run. Their songs tonight, in order of appearance, are: Stains on the Wall FractureMonster All of the Girls You Were Gone,Everybody Wants Me Except the Man I Want Down on You The Devil Made Me Do It This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things I Fucked the Devil Once The PinesWayfaring Stranger. This episode was Produced by Mickie Eberz, Narrated by Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis), Written by you — the listeners.Original music by Empress.Happy Halloween, and thanks for surviving the month.Support the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43
Transcribe →The Black Sarcophagus
Oct 3000:39:34Tap to summarizeText usOn Night 30 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, we exhume something ancient, something sealed away for a reason. Written by Tenac, “The Black Sarcophagus” drags listeners into the world of cursed relics, buried secrets, and the arrogance of those who disturb the dead. Inspired by the pulpy charm of old adventure-horror tales and the timeless dread of what lies beneath the sand, this story reminds us that some doors were never meant to be opened.Thirty nights deep into the Halloween special, the line between fascination and fear grows thinner than ever—and what’s found inside The Black Sarcophagus may be better left forgotten.Credits:Story: “The Black Sarcophagus” by TenacNarration: Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)Produced by: Mickie EberzMusic by: EmpressClosing Song: “Wayfaring Stranger” (Traditional, performed by Empress)Support the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43
Transcribe →Curation
Oct 2900:24:00Tap to summarizeText usGuest host Elle Green presents “Curation,” a chilling vision of the dystopian future of humanity. Stripped of speculation and delivered as written, the story examines the remnants of a world where what defines humanity—memory, art, and identity—has been cataloged, controlled, and preserved long after the living have forgotten why.Credits:Story: “The Curator” by Brian EvanstonGuest Host: Elle GreenProducers: Mickie Eberz; Deborah Ross-Sullivan; Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)Recording Technician: Deborah Ross-SullivanEditor: Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)Original Music: EmpressComposer: Ivan KhilkoInterlude Music: “Arcade” — written and recorded by Ivan KhilkoClosing Song: “Poor Wayfaring Stranger” — written in the 1858 collection Bever’s Christian Songster and performed by EmpressSupport the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43
Transcribe →One Word Story
Oct 2800:22:52Tap to summarizeText usOn Night 28 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, simplicity becomes sinister in “One Word Story” by Anthony Naranjo. It’s a tale that strips horror down to its bare bones—tight, precise, and quietly unnerving. The premise seems harmless at first, but as the words begin to build, something dark begins to emerge between the lines.Tension grows not from what’s said, but from what isn’t. Each word carries weight, each silence feels deliberate, and by the time the story reaches its conclusion, it’s hard to tell whether you’ve read a story… or been trapped inside one.Credits:Story: “One Word Story” by Anthony NaranjoNarration: Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)Produced by: Mickie EberzMusic by: EmpressClosing Song: “Spellbound” by EmpressSupport the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43
Transcribe →The Well
Oct 2700:19:26Tap to summarizeText usTonight’s episode of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special features an anonymously submitted story titled “The Well.” It arrived without background or explanation—only a short note claiming that it’s true. Whether it is or not remains up for debate, but one thing’s certain: there’s something unsettling about the way it was written, something that feels too specific to dismiss outright. We present it here exactly as it was received—unverified, unedited, and unnerving.Credits:Story: “The Well” (Anonymous Author)Narration: Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)Produced by: Mickie EberzMusic by: EmpressClosing Song: “Spellbound” by EmpressSupport the showDemented Darkness https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43
