Home For The Howlin' Days | The Halloween Podcast Presents
This holiday season, The Halloween Podcast presents a chilling Christmas horror tale set in the quiet mountain town of Red Elk—where Christmas nights are silent for a reason. When Evan Merritt returns home for the holidays after years away, he expects family tension, old memories, and forced cheer. What he doesn’t expect are the howls echoing from the snowy ridge above town… or the discovery of a forgotten tradition meant to keep something terrible at bay. As a silver bell resurfaces, secrets come to light, and voices begin calling from the darkness, Evan learns that some Christmas traditions exist for survival—and some bargains don’t stay buried. Home for the Howlin’ Days is a dark, atmospheric holiday horror story about family, folklore, and what happens when the hills remember your name. So lock your doors, turn down the lights, and listen closely…Because if you hear someone calling from the woods tonight,it might not be who you think. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
