A western horror serial set deep in the wicked heart of Texas. Grimwell County follows the adventures of Deacon Langley and the gunslinger, Church McMillan, as they encounter the nightmares of the dark Texan frontiers.
Notes:
Only one short episode of this (last time I checked). A shame, horror westerns are way too rare.
Grim Vision is a horror anthology podcast featuring shocking tales of fear and unease.

We follow Tessa Dixon at a remote army base in Texas as she deals with the psychological and physical trauma of basic training.
When she finds a tape of her grandfather’s labeled ‘Ghost Tape’ and plays the haunting audio, she unknowingly unleashes a deadly manifestation of her own family’s horrible misdeeds.
Notes:
This one’s based on a kernel of real history. The US actually did deploy a spooky recording as an attempted psi op in Vietnam. You can listen to it on Wikipedia.
Folxlore tells the stories of queer people living literally and figuratively between two worlds. In one sense, we try to live normal lives while the world tells us we are not normal. In another sense, our normal lives are interrupted by a very not-normal rift opening up between our world and another plane of existence filled with nightmarish horrors. This pilot series deals with themes of first romance, hate crime related trauma, and queer parenthood Folxlore is rooted in everyday Glasgow, where monsters are always on the edge of your periphery.
Horror and suspense and brought it to you in bite-sized chunks.

Notes:
I honestly can’t tell if this is an abandoned project or if it just ends on a cliff-hanger. Definite to be continued vibes though. It’s been over a decade old since the last episode dropped, so maybe don’t jump on this one if you’re expecting closure.
A bastard hybrid of War of the Worlds and Night of the Living Dead, Autumn chronicles the struggle of a small group of survivors forced to contend with a world torn apart by a deadly disease. After 99% of the population of the planet is killed in less than 24 hours, for the very few who have managed to stay alive, things are about to get much worse. Animated by “phase two” of some unknown contagion, the dead begin to rise. At first slow, blind, dumb and lumbering, quickly the bodies regain their most basic senses and abilities… sight, hearing, locomotion… As well as the instinct toward aggression and violence. Held back only by the restraints of their rapidly decomposing flesh, the dead seem to have only one single goal – to lumber forth and destroy the sole remaining attraction in the silent, lifeless world: those who have survived the plague, who now find themselves outnumbered 1,000,000 to 1…
Notes:
Autumn is a six part dramatization of this zombie novel.
Good Omens meets The Black Tapes in Finding Satan, a Texas Gothic docudrama about a young woman searching for evil; she wants to see it, touch it, prove that it’s real. She wants to find the source of all evil and look Him in the face.
Follow Sarah every two weeks as she looks for the uncanny, the spooky, and the strange; listen to what she finds as she looks for Him.
Don’t you want to find Him?
