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.
Grimoire Nights is an occult and historical horror fiction podcast written and produced by Kay Halloran. Each original, feature-length, dramatized story draws listeners into a chilling glimpse of the darkest and most obscure recesses of history.
We discuss all things creepy and unsettling, from ghosts and cryptids to cults and conspiracy theories.
A podcast about the people of Wellesley, Massachusetts and the ghosts (and monsters) who haunt them.
A Darker Tale is a horror podcast that releases stories every one or two months. The (short) stories are written by me, Jelle Havermans, and have a clear premise. Most of them have a single protagonist that has to confront his fear. I love seemingly haunted places, abandoned structures and true crime. Therefore, most of my stories are centred around human beings stalked in isolated places, because for me, the supernatural is always less frightening than the darkest corners of the human mind and the terrible things a deranged human being is capable of.
My inspiration comes from the occult, popular media (especially film), psychology and religious symbols. Writers that inspire me are Soren Narnia from the Knifepoint Horror Podcast, Stephen King, Thomas Olde Heuvelt and Mary Shelley. The artwork on the homepage is made by me as well. I frequently work with voice actors Peter Yearsley and Shelby Scott from the Scare You To Sleep podcast.

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.

This first season will consist of a serialization of an original horror novel entitled The White Oak’s Widow.
It is 1848, and misery hangs on the country like a funeral shroud. When Patrick Hartley Murphy decides to rescue an abandoned infant he finds lying atop the Irish hill, the trials of post-famine Ireland become only one part of a problem that runs much deeper, as he finds himself and his family stalked by a Night Hag, an ages-old hatred that attaches itself to the Murphys like a curse.
Fifty years later, John and Mary Murphy travel across the ocean to a small mining community in West Virginia in the hopes of leaving the evil behind. There, they discover the cruelties within the malicious depths of the White Oak’s Widow, the coal mine that swallows lives as surely and as entirely as does the Hag. Yet, while men work and die in the deep underground, the Murphy family discovers that misfortune and indifference are not the only things that followed them from Ireland.
