The Sinister Smile
The Sinister Smile As the sun set over the small town of Millfield, the residents began to retreat indoors for the night. The streets emptied, and the only sounds that could be heard were the chirping of crickets and the rustling of leaves in the wind. But within the walls of one particular home, a young couple, Karen and David, were about to experience a horror beyond their wildest nightmares.

The Ghosts of Willow House
The Ghosts of Willow House As soon as the sun set, darkness engulfed Willow House. It stood atop a hill, towering over the village below, casting a long shadow over the surrounding forest.

The Devil's Playground
The church was empty, but for a single figure seated at the back. He wore a long, black coat and a wide-brimmed hat that obscured his face in shadows. His presence was unsettling, and those who passed him felt a chill run down their spine. But they couldn't quite put their finger on why.

Horror Radio: A Forgotten Source of Serious Scares
In the time before television, home entertainment for most people around the world meant radio. From the national news to soap operas, the radio was in the early half of the 20th century what television would later become. Among the offerings for the listeners’ listening pleasure were horror shows. Most people are familiar with Orson Welles’ Halloween night broadcast of The War of the Worlds in 1939, which (supposedly) sent a large segment of America into a panic. But that was just one episode of Welle’s radio show Mercury Theatre, which, along with shows like Lux Radio Theatre produced radio plays in various genres. Welles did have a penchant for thrillers, but some radio series were one hundred percent dedicated to scaring their listeners out of their wits. Writers and producers like Arch Oboler, Wyllis Cooper, and the prolific writer Lucille Fletcher filled the airwaves with tales of murder and the supernatural on shows with names like Lights Out, Beyond Midnight, The Witch’s Tale, and The Weird Circle.
