Unknown Broadcast | Four Old-Time Radio Horror Stories of Secrets and Survival

Author: Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert January 11, 2026 Duration: 2:08:56
Unknown Broadcast returns with old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, and radio mystery that slips into the Weekly Spooky feed like a transmission you didn’t ask for… but can’t stop hearing.
Tonight’s broadcast contains four vintage radio nightmares—crime-soaked, uncanny, and quietly vicious:
  • 🩸 “The Telltale Scar” (CBS Radio Mystery Theater) — An investigative reporter swears he’s spotted a man who died three years ago… and the only proof is a scar that won’t stay buried.
  • 🚀 “Mars Is Heaven” (Escape) — A crew lands on Mars and finds the impossible: their hometowns, their loved ones, their dead waiting alive—a perfect welcome that feels too perfect.
  • ☎️ “I Want to Report a Murder” (Inner Sanctum) — A mild man, a marriage full of poison, and a phone call that becomes a confession… right before the night snaps shut like a trap.
  • 🌑 “Everybody” (Lights Out / Arch Oboler) — Criminals hide out with a terrified girl and a plan, but the house has its own heartbeat… and something old is listening under the floor.

Featuring work credited in-program to Roy Windsor, Ray Bradbury, Michael Sklar, and Arch Oboler.

Somewhere between the dial and your dreams, the broadcast keeps going—because it only needs you to listen once.

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.
