BANNED! Part 1: Blizzard Horror Convention Murder Mystery Begins

BANNED! Part 1: Blizzard Horror Convention Murder Mystery Begins

Author: Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert January 7, 2026 Duration: 49:22
Weekly Spooky horror podcast kicks off a brand-new New Year miniseries with a snowbound slasher mystery set inside a remote ski lodge where a horror convention is about to become a hunting ground.

Seven years ago, a furious fan named Robbie Redden drove hours to meet an actress he idolized—only to be humiliated, thrown out, and branded with one unforgettable word. Now, as a fresh convention weekend begins in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a brutal storm rolls in… and the past rolls in with it.

Featured guest Vickie Valentine arrives to sign photos, shoot scenes with filmmaker Henrique Couto, and survive the weekend—until the first horrific message is delivered the only way this killer knows how. Out in the freezing dark, a staffer discovers something impossible… and the word that started it all returns, carved into the night like a curse.

Lock the doors. The blizzard is closing in. And someone is about to get BANNED.

Henrique Couto has spent years digging into the shadows, and in Weekly Spooky: Horror Stories & Scary Tales, he turns that expertise into a regular dose of dread. This isn't just a seasonal treat; it's a year-round exploration of the unsettling, released every Monday and Wednesday. You'll hear original tales woven from classic threads-the whisper of an urban legend, the creak of a haunted house floorboard, the grim history of a cursed object. Familiar monsters like vampires and werewolves get fresh, chilling life, while cryptids lurk in the margins of modern myths. Each story is crafted for a mature audience, blending dark humor with genuinely cinematic sound design that pulls you right into the scene, all leading to those satisfying, often shocking, twist endings. While the podcast naturally excels during the spooky season with special deep dives, the commitment to weekly frights means the atmosphere is always ripe for a scare, whether the subject is pure fiction, dramatic re-tellings, or tales ripped from true crime's darkest corners. Settle in for a journey where the familiar becomes frightening again, narrated by a guide who truly understands the mechanics of a good, lasting chill.
