Otis Jiry's Scary Stories Told in the Dark: A Horror Anthology Series

Not all hauntings come from the dead.

S18E05 - "Ghosts of the Living" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

Step into the latest installment of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, where the line between what we know and what we fear unravels thread by thread. Host Malcolm Blackwood guides you through four haunting visions from acclaimed author L.P. Hernandez, each tale a descent into a world that should not exist—but does. In these pages of sound, reflections shift, invitations conceal hidden costs, distant horizons whisper back, and childhood innocence masks something far older. Prepare for an evening where reality itself falters, and nothing you trust can be taken at face value.

"The Tattooed Man" by L.P. Hernandez – Jason begins noticing strange flashes of himself in unexpected places—reflections that don’t move as they should, doubles that live lives uncannily like his own. Drawn into a reality that overlaps with his own, he discovers that what stares back at him may not simply be a reflection but a rival self with darker secrets. A chilling tale of identity and intrusion, this story probes the terrifying possibility that we are not as singular as we believe.

"The Invitation" by L.P. Hernandez – When Anthony “Tony” accepts the friendship of an older man who seems warm and fatherly, he is surprised to be invited to a refined dinner party. But beneath the glitter of tuxedos and polite smiles, he senses a growing unease—one that suggests the evening is not at all what it seems. A sinister exploration of trust, manipulation, and the dangers of belonging, this story leaves you questioning the true cost of acceptance.

"The Last Man on Mars" by L.P. Hernandez – Astronaut Adam Pelegrina believed his mission was to prepare Mars for colonization, but isolation has worn thin, and communications with Earth have grown disturbingly irregular. When he begins receiving covert transmissions, he learns the planet he left behind may no longer exist as he knew it. A stark and unsettling vision of abandonment and revelation, this story captures the dread of being alone where no one can reach you.

"Little Boy" by L.P. Hernandez – Charlotte and her young son, Ethan, are eager to start fresh in their new home. But when Ethan’s “imaginary friend” begins revealing knowledge and behaviors no child should possess, Charlotte realizes their new house harbors something far more sinister than creaking floorboards. A haunting tale of innocence corrupted and unseen presences, this story reminds us that sometimes the scariest playmates are the ones who shouldn’t be there at all.

S18E04 - "Unimaginary" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

Scary Stories Told in the Dark returns with “Portraits of Madness,” a nightmarish descent into the fragile line between comfort and terror. In this special installment, every tale comes from rising horror author Jason A. Jones, whose gift for twisting the ordinary into the monstrous will leave you questioning what you thought was safe. Step into a world where holiday traditions conceal unspoken hungers, where heirlooms whisper devotion that curdles into dread, where survivors carry more than scars, and where the tools we trust may one day betray us.

S18E02 - "Storms and Sanctuaries" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

In the quiet comfort of suburbia, where porches glow and curtains close, the real nightmares begin. In this season premiere of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, host Malcolm Blackwood pulls back the blinds on ordinary streets to reveal the horrors hiding next door. From unsettling encounters at the edge of a playground, to neighbors whose smiles conceal unspeakable secrets, to houses that whisper with strange machinery and windows that never stop watching—these tales remind us that the most terrifying things aren’t found in haunted castles or distant woods… but just across the fence, waiting for you to notice. Step inside, if you dare—because tonight, the monsters live closer than you think.

S18E01 - "Next Door Nightmares" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

In the season finale of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, Otis Jiry and Malcolm Blackwood invite you into a world where hunger takes many shapes—and none of them are easily satisfied. From whispers in forgotten recordings to strange visions on the brink of death, from shadows that stalk the lonely to companions that serve with unsettling devotion, each tale tonight asks the same question: what happens when the things we rely on most turn out to crave us in return? Step into the dark. Listen closely. And remember—sometimes, the greatest danger isn’t what you feed, but what feeds on you.

S17E24 - "The Hunger Beyond" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

In our latest episode, five journeys into the forbidden open doors that should have stayed shut. A quiet city park hides something that glides just out of sight. A rotting house hums with secrets in its tangled walls. Powerlines mark the edge of a clearing where the air feels wrong. An eclipse reveals a world no one was meant to see. And deep in the woods, an old hunting stand offers a view of something you can’t unsee. From author Jesse Pullins comes a quintet of nightmares where curiosity, chance, and bad decisions cross the wrong thresholds.

S17E23 - "Tales of Trespass" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

There are places you’re told not to go. The space under the bed. The room at the end of the hall. The shadows between gravestones. The still water at midnight. The line between here… and somewhere else entirely. In this chilling collection, Otis Jiry and Malcolm Blackwood invite you to step past those thresholds—into the corners of the world where patience belongs to the dark, and curiosity is a debt that must be paid. Five tales await, each a descent into the unseen: intimate horrors that stalk your most familiar spaces, encounters with the dead that refuse to stay buried, and journeys to realms that should never be crossed.

S17E22 - "Beneath and Beyond" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

What would you give to escape pain? To reclaim what you lost? To rise above your station? In this chilling collection of tales, the price of survival isn’t measured in dollars—but in flesh, faith, memory, and the pieces of ourselves we never thought we’d part with. Join hosts Malcolm Blackwood and Otis Jiry as they guide you through five harrowing stories where bargains are struck, boundaries crossed, and something in the dark keeps the ledger. From forgotten places and fractured minds to unnatural hungers and sacred desecrations, each tale asks the same question: What will you sacrifice… when the cost finally comes due?
