S15 Ep18: S15E18 - "Judgment" - Horror Hill 18.09.2026 2h 1min

Maunderston has always been the kind of town where everyone knows everyone—and where secrets rarely remain buried for long. When teenager Hunter Davis is found dead after a crowded house party, the authorities call it a tragic accident. His mother calls it a lie. Then every road out of town becomes impassable, communication with the outside world abruptly ceases, and an impossible decay begins spreading from the Davis home. A stranger has arrived in Maunderston. He claims that an unjust death has occurred, and he will not leave until the guilty are delivered to him. As fear transforms neighbors into accusers and old suspicions erupt into violence, the people of Maunderston must decide whom they are willing to sacrifice. But the figure stalking their crumbling streets has no interest in rumors, excuses, or convenient confessions. He wants the truth—and he intends to judge everyone before he finds it.

"The Bat House" - Horror Hill 16.09.2026 36min

Bullied, isolated, and desperate to escape his tormentors, Bradley runs into the woods—and finds a place that should not feel as though it has been waiting for him. Raised high among the autumn trees, the bat house is home to far more than the creatures named on its warning sign. Its shadowed interior seems to recognize Bradley’s pain. Its inhabitants whisper his name. And somewhere beyond the open hatch, something hidden from the daylight offers the frightened boy a sanctuary unlike any he has known. But refuge can become temptation, and the darkness that welcomes the unwanted rarely gives without expecting something in return.

After an eternity spent wandering the burning caverns of Hell, a nameless Southern soul is offered something almost unimaginable: a promotion. His new handler calls him Country and promises him water, shelter, and occasional passage back into the world of the living. All Country must do is enter the body of a girl believed to be possessed, follow the instructions transmitted through a strange insect-like device, and obey the rules governing Hell’s ancient contest with Heaven. Unfortunately, Country has received no training, understands almost nothing about his assignment, and has no intention of returning to the caverns. When his first mission places him inside a dark toolshed with three armed men closing in, desperation turns a carefully controlled operation into a nightmare of confusion, violence, and infernal consequences. Blending black comedy, supernatural terror, and uncompromising brutality, Drew Stepek's “A Little Bit Country” takes listeners into a vision of Hell where damnat

This week on Horror Hill, descend beneath the streets of Salem for Henry Kuttner's classic “The Salem Horror”, a tale of witchcraft, forbidden knowledge, cosmic evil, and the terrible designs concealed just beneath the surface of the ordinary. Seeking solitude in an aging Salem house, a novelist discovers a secret chamber buried behind the walls of his cellar, a forgotten room belonging to a witch whose name has haunted the city for centuries. Within its strange geometric designs, he finds something he desperately needs: silence, concentration, and inspiration unlike anything he has experienced before. As forgotten dreams, whispered legends, and increasingly ominous warnings begin to converge, the sanctuary beneath his home starts to feel less like a workspace and more like a doorway. And somewhere beyond that doorway, something ancient may have been waiting a very long time for someone to open it. Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

"The Events at Poroth Farm" - Horror Hill 26.08.2026 2h 6min

Seeking three quiet months away from New York City, Jeremy retreats to an isolated farm in rural New Jersey with little more than a roomful of books and plans to spend the summer immersed in the classics of Gothic literature. At first, Poroth Farm seems ideal. His landlords, Sarr and Deborah Poroth, are reserved but welcoming, the countryside is peaceful, and Jeremy finally has all the solitude he could want. Then the natural rhythms of the farm begin to falter. Something strange moves through the woods. Animals behave in ways Jeremy cannot explain. Familiar creatures become suddenly unfamiliar. And as the summer wears on, Jeremy's comfortable skepticism is tested by a mounting series of incidents that seem increasingly difficult to dismiss as coincidence, superstition, or imagination. Surrounded by the very horror stories he came there to study, Jeremy begins to confront a far more disturbing possibility: perhaps the darkest ideas preserved in old books were never entirely fictional.

When two brothers stumble across an unmarked book hidden among the dusty shelves of their local library, what begins as an innocent curiosity quickly becomes something neither of them can explain.

Two tales. Two very different nightmares. And two reckonings waiting in the darkness.
