S19 Ep 3S19E03 - "A Study in Guilt" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
EIn this chilling installment of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, Malcolm Blackwood invites listeners into a night of psychological horror where the most terrifying things are not monsters lurking in the dark, but the choices people make when grief, rage, and temptation press in from all sides. Featuring Mak Ralston’s “All Hands Are Red,” this episode descends into a world of contradiction, private pain, and quiet moral collapse, where justice and vengeance begin to resemble one another in all the worst ways. Darkly intimate, unnerving, and steeped in dread, this is a tale for anyone who’s ever wondered what it really takes to push an ordinary person past the point of no return.

S19 Ep 2S19E02 - "Undoing Death" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
EIn this chilling installment of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you into a tale where love refuses to accept loss… and where a single miscalculation could mean the difference between reunion and ruin. When tragedy strikes, one desperate soul begins searching for answers beyond the limits of science—and discovers that some doors don’t simply open. They require instructions. Precision. Timing. And the willingness to follow through, no matter the cost. If you were given the chance to undo the unthinkable to bring back someone or something you loved… would you be able to resist?

S19 Ep 1S19E01 - "Nameless Games" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
EA new season begins… and this time, the danger doesn’t hide in graveyards or abandoned houses. It waits in fluorescent hallways. In tidy institutions. In the quiet rules no one questions. In our latest episode, we open with a story that lingers long after the lights go out: a tale of silence, survival, and the subtle cruelty that can pass for harmless play. When being unnoticed becomes a defense mechanism, and obedience becomes a habit, something begins to learn from it. Something patient. Something practiced. Because sometimes the most dangerous thing you can be… is easy to forget.

S18 Ep 24S18E24 - "Lies in Lantern Light" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
EThe harvest season is nearly over. The lanterns are lit. And some visitors don’t wait for October to knock. On a quiet farmhouse porch, beneath the fading glow of autumn skies, grief lingers longer than the falling leaves. The crops have withered. The land is tired. And a man left alone with his memories begins to wonder whether the dark holds answers… or something far worse. This week, Scary Stories Told in the Dark closes Season 18 with a story that proves the most dangerous horrors aren’t the ones that chase you in the night. They’re the ones that convince you to open the door.

S18 Ep 23S18E23 - "Experiments with Teeth" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
ECuriosity has always been humanity’s sharpest tool. And its most dangerous. In this chilling installment of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, host Malcolm Blackwood invites listeners to explore the fragile boundary between affection and obsession… between improvement and interference. What begins as admiration for something small and familiar gradually becomes something far more unsettling—an experiment not born of cruelty, but of conviction. Tonight’s tale examines the quiet confidence of a mind certain it knows better than nature. It asks what happens when science moves faster than wisdom, when devotion clouds judgment, and when progress begins to reshape what was never meant to be redesigned.

S18 Ep 22S18E22 - "Just Desserts" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
EIn this episode of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, familiar pleasures become dangerous invitations—and the line between reward and punishment quietly dissolves. What begins as routine drifts into something far more unsettling, where reassurance masks intent and kindness hides its teeth. This is a story about offers that come too easily, about places that feel safe until they aren’t, and about the terrible cost of noticing what you were never meant to see.

S18 Ep 21S18E21 - "Built to Be Forgotten" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
EIn this chilling episode of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, the past beckons with the promise of closure and the comfort of familiarity. A return to somewhere once called home feels like a chance to finally understand what was lost, what was forgotten, and what might still be waiting. Tonight’s story explores the quiet terror of buried memories, sealed spaces, and the unsettling realization that some structures are designed not for living—but for containment. When reassurance replaces warning, and nostalgia dulls suspicion, the most dangerous truths can feel almost welcoming. Because the most effective prisons don’t look like cages. They look like answers.
