S8 Ep 17S8E17 - "The House of His Dreams" - Horror Hill
Well hello there, listeners, and welcome back to Horror Hill. As always, I’m your host, Erik Peabody. After the surreal story we had last week, I figured it would be a good idea to balance it out with something a bit more traditional, and what’s more traditional than a good ole haunted house story?

S8 Ep 16S8E16 - "Back Alley Brain Surgeon" - Horror Hill
Good evening, my friends, and welcome back to Horror Hill. I’m Erik Peabody, your host on this stroll into the garden of devious delights, and tonight we’re going to be reading a story from TheVesper’s Bell. You might remember previous stories by The Vesper’s Bell that we’ve featured, including “Still Awake,” and “Hoofprints in the Snow.”Tonight’s tale opens with just about the worst way a person can wake up: disoriented, groggy, and on an operating table. This isn’t any normal operating room, though, but a large surgical theater at least 100 years old. As if this wasn’t enough, our narrator is paralyzed, has almost no memory, and... is that a brain in a jar next to him? This one is particularly grisly, listeners, so steel yourselves. Also, I’d like to mention that Rissa Montanez of the Creepy Podcast will be joining me today, performing several roles in this story. Please join me in welcoming her to the show.

S8 Ep 15S8E15 - "The Familiar Spiral" - Horror Hill
Good evening, listeners, and welcome back to Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody, and we’ve got a double-feature for you tonight, both of them looking at the dynamics of romantic relationships from two very different angles.We’ll be starting with quick little chiller called “A Familiar Voice,” by NM Brown. Austin and Liamare a newly-retired couple, who have decided to spice up their lives with a hiking trip in snowySri Lanka. When Liam mysteriously goes missing, his husband pulls together a search team to find him. Unfortunately, the oppressive elements are not the only danger they face. Following that, we’ll be diving into “The Downward Spiral,” by Richard C. Morgan. In this story, our narrator, Alec, is in the crosshairs of his vindictive soon-to-be-ex wife, Caroline. As Caroline systematically destroys Alec’s life, he’s forced to find new work wherever he can. Unfortunately for him, the only place that’s hiring is the “Paranormal Pork Broadcasting and Weiner Lounge.”Greasy hotdogs and supernatural occurrences are the daily specials, and Alec finds himself struggling to hold onto his sanity while he fights to get his life back.

S8 Ep 14S8E14 - "I Saw it From the Upstairs Window" - Horror Hill
Good evening, listeners, and welcome back to Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody. We’ve got an interesting story for you tonight, from author M. Ennenbach.

S8 Ep 13S8E13 - "Sorrow Has Its Natural End" - Horror Hill
Well hello there, listeners, and welcome back to Horror Hill. We’ve got a good one for you tonight, from an author that’s brand new to the show, JR Hamantaschen. I’ve been familiar with JR’s work fora few years, and am happy that we finally get to... bring him into the fold. This story is titled, “Sorry Has Its Natural End.” Meet Max, a young man in his early twenties with two big problems. The first is that he has lost most of his sight to a degenerative retinal condition. The second is that he has let his situation embitter him to the world. One morning, Max stumbles across an account of another person with a similar vision issue, someone who has just had cutting edge surgery (pun very much intended) and has now regained his sight. Max, filled with sudden hope, reaches out to this person, unaware of the horror that he has already set into motion.

Well, hello there, listeners, and welcome to Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody, and we’ve got a couple of fun ones for you tonight.

S8 Ep 10S8E10 - "BUDDY" - Horror Hill
Good evening, listeners, and welcome back to Horror Hill. As always, I am your loyal host, Erik Peabody. Now, I need to warn you in advance about tonight’s tale. When you hear the title, you might think that we’ve gone soft, that we’ve started bringing more family-friendly fare to thistable. But I assure you, this is no story of athletically-inclined canines, partner-cops sharing alaugh in the face of danger, or friendly little aliens that befriend local children. I don’t want you jumping to any conclusions here, even though tonight’s feature, written by Lucretia Vastea, is titled, “Buddy.

S8 Ep 9S8E09 - "The Strange Paper" - Horror Hill
Hello there, listeners, and welcome back to Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody, and we’re featuring a story tonight from an author that’s new to the show, Michael Botur. You know, being fifteen years old is a tough age for most people. You don’t have much control over your life, you don’t know what you really want, and hell, you might not even know who you are, deep down. It can be an impressionable age, where you can inadvertently step onto a bad path and not even know it. The fifteen year old protagonist in tonight’s story finds himself in just such a position. He has an interest in the strange and the occult, and has found fuel for his interests in a periodical called The Strange Paper. The editor of The Strange Paper is an enigmatic man named Maxwell Winkle. As our protagonist meets up with Mr. Winkle and goes further down the rabbit hole of the bizarre, we’re left to wonder what’s mere paranoid fantasy, and what’s actually real.

S8 Ep 8S8E08 - "Behind Closed Doors" - Horror Hill
Well hello there, listeners, and welcome back to Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody, and we’ve got a nice and creepy one for you tonight. This story comes to us from James Vodrey, and takes place in the United Kingdom. There are a lot of similarities between the UK and the USA, one of which is that police officers are sent to a wide range of situations. Some of them, like in-progress robberies, are obviously high-risk, and officers respond to them with a fresh dose of adrenaline already in their systems. Others, like checking in a family member that hasn’t been heard from in a while, can seem like humdrum busy work. That being said, they really never know exactly what they’re going to roll up on. One other thing to mention is that the majority of police in the United Kingdom don’t carry guns. I’d also like to extend thanks to Olivia Steele, who will be guesting in this story is the voice of Kim. Disclaimer: This story features violence to animals, a dog in particular. If this isn't for you then we will see you next time!

S8 Ep 7S8E07 - "The Incorruptible Corpse" - Horror Hill
Good evening, listeners, and welcome back to Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody. You know, the last few episodes have featured several shorter stories, so I figured it was high time to focus on a single tale of terror this evening.

S8 Ep 4S8E04 - "The Alpha Syndicate: The Secret Garden" - Horror Hill
Good evening, everyone, and welcome back to Horror Hill. Tonight’s episode features a story by Pine Moon Poet, entitled “The Alpha Syndicate–The Secret Garden.” This continues the story of Markus Kent, an ex-cop who got headhunted to join an organization that handles things a bit more serious than shoplifters, vandals, and even murderers. Markus is now part of the Alpha Syndicate’s Whiskey team, and has already stared down otherworldly horrors in Egypt. In fact, we covered Markus’ first mission back in Season 6, Episode 17 of Horror Hill. While not necessarily required, you might have a deeper appreciation of this story if you listen to that episode first.

Well, good evening, listeners, and welcome to Season 8 of Horror Hill. Tonight, we’re going to be finishing up our cliffhanger from last week, closing out “The Book of Agony” by Dagan Billips. If you haven’t heard that episode yet, I highly recommend you check it out before continuing here. For the rest of you, here’s a quick recap of the story so far. Ben is a twelve year old boy living in Tennessee, and he has a few problems. His best friend, Daniel, was found dead under mysterious circumstances, his parents are horrible to him, and to top it all off, a strange book has appeared in Ben’s room.

Hello, listeners, and welcome to season 7, episode 20 of Horror Hill. As always, I’m your host, Erik Peabody, and we got a particularly vile double-feature for you tonight. These two stories have been hand-picked to make you squirm. Last week, I mentioned how much I enjoy a despicable protagonist, and I’m doubling down on that sentiment this week.

S7 Ep 19S7E19 - "Highway to Hell" - Horror Hill
Hello again, listeners, and welcome back to Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody, and we’ve got two spooky stories for you tonight. First, from Matt Howes, we have a delightful period piece titled “The Sunken City.” In the grand tradition of HP Lovecraft, our protagonist is hunting down rumors of a lost city in the uncharted waters off of southern Africa. It seems that new obstacles are popping up at every step of his journey, but he dauntlessly (and potentially foolishly) perseveres. What horrors await him in the sunken city? Will he escape with his life, and his sanity intact? Who can tell... Following that, we have “Road Killer,” by Geddy Cahoon. Our story opens with our hero (and believe me listener, I use that term loosely) named James, as he’s extracting his shoe from some sun-baked roadkill on an empty stretch of highway in the desert. Poor James’ car has broken down, and he’s already late for an appointment with his ex-wife and his son, two people that James does not hold in high regard. Unfortunately for him, his troubles are just beginning. I love a story that has a solid piece-of-shit protagonist, and James is absolutely someone that I love to hate.

S7 Ep 18S7E18- "From Boys to Beasts" - Horror Hill
Hello, listeners, and welcome to Season 7, Episode 18 of Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody, and we’ve got a creepy double-feature for you all to welcome in the new year. Our first story is “The Disappearing Boy,” from PD Williams. Lenore is a high school student at Ridley High. She has just met a new student, the sullen and down-trodden Tommy Naughton. It quickly becomes apparent that there’s more to Tommy than meets the eye, and things quickly spiral into the horrifying. I’d also like to thank Danielle Hewitt, who will be joining us on this story. Following that, we have KE Brown’s “The Sidewalk Man,” in which a freak accident causes a nearby college student to start seeing strange things. What is real, and what is the result of the brain responding such a traumatic event? Welcome to 2023, listeners. Let’s start things off on the right foot with something spooky, shall we?

S7 Ep 17S7E17- "Hoofprints in the Snow" - Horror Hill
Hello, listeners, and welcome to Season 7, Episode 17 of Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody, and we’re closing out the year with a fun little tale of old world magic. Something I’ve always enjoyed about folk myths and legends is how directly deities and demigods influence the lives of mortals. It takes a lot of the guess work out of living, don’t you think? If you’re doing something that your god doesn’t like, well, they might just come down and tell you so. Or fill your house with vipers or something. Then again, it might not always simplify things. Take our story tonight, for example. Our unnamed narrator has been tasked by the witches of his village with finding their Yule Tree. This involves his venturing into the nearby sacred woods with an axe to find the one special tree that The Horned God will allow them to cut down. However, the benevolent Horned God is not the only being in the forest, and this one might not have our protagon ist’s best interests at heart. Oh, and I forgot to mention that today’s story features both Nick Goroff and Geoff Sturtevant. Nick and Geoff, thanks for making this one extra special.

S7 Ep 16S7E16 - "Secret Santa" - Horror Hill
Hello, my friends, and welcome to season 7, episode 16 of Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody, and tonight’s episode brings us something a little different. We spend a lot of time on this show taking a look at supernatural horrors. Ghoulies, and beasties, and things that go bump in the night. For my money, though, some of the most terrifying tales are about actual horrors that you and I might encounter in our day-to-day lives. I’m not talking about getting mugged or stalked or anything overt like that, but about something more… insidious. Quiet, calculating practices to shape the mind of a person, a group, and maybe even a society. Tonight’s story, “Secret Santa,” provides one extreme take on just that. Make sure you’re bundled up with a steaming mug of something nice, because this one gets chilly, friends. *Sniff, sniff* Do I smell peppermint?

S7 Ep 15S7E15 - "Yuletide by the Fireside" - Horror Hill
Welcome to season 7, episode 15 of Horror Hill. I’m your host, Erik Peabody, and I’ve got a good one for you tonight. Our winter-themed horror spree continues this week, with a tale by Austin Case. In the grand tradition of many other Christmas stories, “Yuletide by the Fireside,” opens with some light marital discord. Jennifer and Mark are on their way up to a lovely (and remote) cottage for the holiday, where Jennifer struggles with finding time for work obligations around the usual festive merriment. However, their picturesque winter getaway is about to take an unexpected turn. I’ve got to tell you, folks, I really enjoyed this one. I like it when a well-written tale isn’t afraid to go for the jugular. Also, I have a special treat for you today. Chilling Tales for Dark Nights veteran Olivia Steele is here to voice Jennifer, so please join me in welcoming her to this episode. I guess that Christmas came early for us this year.

They are running a massive Holiday Sale, plus 10% off on any purchase with code HORROR. Thanks to Established Titles for sponsoring this video! Well, hello there, my friends. Welcome to season 7, episode 13 of Horror Hill. In my little corner of the country, the temperature has been dropping lately, and the weather has turned snowy. With things getting a little grim outside, it seems to me like it’s a good time to turn our attention to winter festivities, like hot cocoa and snowball fights. That’s right folks, we have a whole month of winter-themed stories for you, starting today. However, no amount of snowball fights and hot cocoa will keep the protagonists of today’s story safe.

As Brandon recovers in the hospital, the remaining friends enter the forest to find Alex and confront the evil that has been threatening their town.

S7 Ep 10S7E10 - "It Came from the Pines - Part Two" - Horror Hill
Welcome to Season 7, Episode 10, of Horror Hill. I’m your host Erik Peabody, and tonight we’re continuing a story that we began last week. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to that episode yet, I would strongly recommend doing so. Tonight’s episode continues that story, which takes place in Pine Bend, North Carolina. To provide a brief refresher of what’s happened so far, our story follows four friends: David, Brandon, Jack, and Eric. These four have slowly been realizing that something unnatural is happening in and around Pine Bend, and the situation has become terrifyingly personal. Tonight’s episode provides the next part of that story, which will continue for several more weeks. As we jump back in, I’d like to leave you with one of the tag lines for a favorite horror movie of mine, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. I feel that it’s particularly relevant as these events continue to unfold. That line, of course, is, “who will survive, and what will be left of them?” To watch the podcast on YouTube: http://bit.ly/ChillingEntertainmentYT Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: https://bit.ly/HorrorHillPodcast If you like the show, telling a friend about it would be amazing!
