    This Week in Horror History | Classic Horror Films & Eerie Sequels — May 18–24
    May 19 2026
    Dive into a week of horror history: iconic haunted hotels, chilling sequels, cult revenge classics, and one of the 1990s' sharpest horror anthology films.

    Inside this episode:
    ✅ May 18, 1971 — The Abominable Dr. Phibes
    Vincent Price becomes one of horror’s most stylish revenge artists in this bizarre, elegant, plague-inspired cult classic full of murder, black comedy, and art deco nightmare energy.
    Where to watch: No major U.S. streaming this week; physical media is the main option.
    ✅ May 22, 1992 — Alien 3
    Ripley crash-lands into one of the franchise’s bleakest, most controversial chapters, trading action-horror triumph for grief, sacrifice, prison-colony dread, and industrial nightmare atmosphere.
    Where to watch: Streaming on HBO Max; rent or buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.
    ✅ May 23, 1986 — Poltergeist II: The Other Side
    The Freeling family learns the haunting did not stay behind, while Reverend Kane becomes one of supernatural horror’s most unforgettable screen nightmares.
    Where to watch: Streaming on MGM+; free with ads on The Roku Channel and YouTube Free.
    ✅ May 23, 1980 — The Shining
    Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel opens in theaters, beginning the long, strange afterlife of the Overlook Hotel, Jack Torrance, and one of the most debated horror classics ever made.
    Where to watch: Rent or buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.

    🎬 Deep-Cut Spotlight — May 24, 1995: Tales from the Hood
    Rusty Cundieff’s Tales from the Hood brings social horror, supernatural justice, EC Comics-style punishment, and Clarence Williams III’s unforgettable Mr. Simms into one of the most underrated horror anthologies of the 1990s. With stories tackling police brutality, domestic abuse, white supremacy, and cycles of violence, this cult favorite still hits hard because its monsters are never far from the real world.
    Where to watch: Streaming on YouTube with ads; rent or buy on Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home.

    Plus: horror birthdays for Grace Jones, Fairuza Balk, Felissa Rose, and Doug Jones, a “Then & Now” look at horror as punishment and aftermath, and a weekly recommendation for the unsettling pre-Exorcist possession film The Possession of Joel Delaney.

  • Terrifying & True | Beast of Bray Road: Wisconsin Werewolf Folklore & Cryptid Horror

    Terrifying & True | Beast of Bray Road: Wisconsin Werewolf Folklore & Cryptid Horror
    May 18 2026
    The Beast of Bray Road is a chilling modern cryptid legend and one of America's most terrifying werewolf sightings — a true story of eerie folklore, haunted highways, and eyewitness horror from rural Wisconsin. In the early 1990s, drivers on Bray Road in Elkhorn reported seeing a massive wolf-like creature that defied explanation. Explore the chilling accounts, the rural legend that gripped a community, and the cryptid mystery that remains unsolved. Perfect eerie suspense storytelling for horror fans who love folklore-backed scares.

    Inside this episode:
    • The 1991 sightings that turned Bray Road into a cryptid landmark
    • Linda Godfrey’s investigation and the newspaper story that gave the Beast its name
    • Eyewitness reports of a wolf-headed creature walking on two legs
    • The dogman and werewolf folklore surrounding Wisconsin’s haunted roads
    • Possible real-world explanations, from coyotes and wolves to bears and mistaken identity
    • Why the legend survives, even without physical proof

    This episode of Terrifying & True explores the frightening balance between true cryptid sightings, American folklore, rural horror, and skeptical investigation. It is not just a story about whether a werewolf was really seen on a Wisconsin road. It is a story about how a few terrifying encounters, a powerful name, and a lonely stretch of asphalt can create a modern monster.

    Because somewhere outside Elkhorn, Wisconsin, the road is still there.

    The ditch is still there.

    And when the headlights sweep across the grass, it is easy to understand why people kept talking.

    We’re telling that story tonight.

  • Unknown Broadcast | Deadly Writers, Haunted Doctors & Classic Radio Terror: Four Old-Time Horror Stories

    Unknown Broadcast | Deadly Writers, Haunted Doctors & Classic Radio Terror: Four Old-Time Horror Stories
    May 17 2026
    Unknown Broadcast returns to the Weekly Spooky feed with another strange cargo of old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, gothic terror, and shadowy tales where love curdles, death lingers, and fate seems to have a key to every locked door.

    Tonight’s transmission brings four eerie classics from the darker corners of the dial: a writer haunted by the women he created, a sinister door in old Paris, a doctor’s final confession, and a waiting man whose patience may be the most dangerous thing in the room. The signal is warm. The fire is bright. The host is smiling. And yet, somehow, the room keeps getting darker.

    🖋️ Three Women — A struggling writer creates a woman too vivid to stay safely on the page, but when fiction begins demanding blood, the ending may no longer belong to him.
    🚪 Sire de Maletroit’s Door — In old Paris, one wrong step through one wrong door becomes a trap of honor, marriage, and menace, where escape may depend on accepting the impossible.
    💉 The Last Letter of Dr. Bronson — A doctor leaves behind a chilling confession of ambition, murder, madness, and revenge, written as though the dead still have one final diagnosis to deliver.
    🕰️ The Man Who Waited — A quiet household hides jealousy, illness, and betrayal, while one patient watcher waits for the perfect moment to turn love into something fatal.

    Four classic OTR horror stories pass through Unknown Broadcast tonight… and whether it begins with a book, a door, a letter, or a man who simply waits, the ending may already be written somewhere in the static.
