Ides of March: Four Horror Stories of Monsters, Revenge, Cannibals, and the Living Dead

Ides of March: Four Horror Stories of Monsters, Revenge, Cannibals, and the Living Dead

The Ides of March isn’t just a date—it’s a warning. In this compilation from the Weekly Spooky horror podcast, four stories turn bad choices into worse consequences: a cursed swamp legend that crawls out of the mud, a predator’s idea of “conservation,” a feast where the menu fights back, and an alarm clock that wakes up way more than you.

In this episode (in order):

• “Gator Boy of Dead Ore Swamp” — by David O’Hanlon 
• “Stay Hungry” — by David O’Hanlon 
• “You Are What You Eat” — by Robert Fields 
• “Rude Awakenings” — by Rob Fields 

If you like your horror with cryptid folklore, survival dread, dark humor, and that “oh no… it’s happening” momentum—this one’s for you. The swamp is listening. The jungle is watching. And the dead? They’re very cranky about being disturbed.

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.
