Buckle up for a wilderness horror compilation packed with scary stories of remote trails, isolated campsites, and nature that turns predatory. If you love horror podcast narration with survival terror, monster horror, and “we-shouldn’t-be-here” dread… this one’s for you.

Tonight’s collection features four tales where the map runs out, the sun goes down, and the woods start paying attention.

Fortune Falls — by David O’HanlonTwo college friends camp where they shouldn’t, chasing a perfect sunrise at a hidden waterfall—until an unwanted visitor turns their quiet night into a brutal fight to make it out alive.
A Plant Called Death — by Bruce HaneyA couple hikes deep into the Pacific Northwest hunting a legendary bloom with a strange cycle… and discovers why some myths survive by warning people away.
Stay Hungry — by David O’HanlonA documentary crew tracks Colombia’s infamous “cocaine hippos,” only to realize the river has new rules—and the biggest thing in the water isn’t the only thing hunting.
The Hellhowler — by Joe SolmoParanormal investigator James Becker takes a client’s “I’m being hunted” claim seriously—because something out there really is answering the call, and it’s closing in fast. 

**My spookies—**which story hit you the hardest… the waterfall, the bloom, the river, or the hound?

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.
