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

Step beyond the veil, where faith falters, reason bends, and the familiar turns strange. In this haunting collection of four chilling tales, Scary Stories Told in the Dark host Malcolm Blackwood invites you to explore the edges of the unknown—where whispers rise from the sea, where prayers echo through empty houses, where art reveals what should remain unseen, and where something small and ordinary waits to bare its teeth.

S18E09 - "Beyond the Edge" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

Some hungers can’t be fed—only endured. In this haunting anthology from acclaimed author Dana Noraas, four tales reveal what happens when need becomes obsession, and comfort curdles into terror. A new home hides a secret that won’t stay buried. A wilderness trip turns into a battle for the top of the food chain. A mother hears her child’s call from somewhere no voice should reach. And deep in the Louisiana bayou, a stranger discovers that some families never stop growing.

S18E08 - "Hungry Shadows" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

In this chilling collection, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you to peer beneath the surface, where forgotten things stir in silence and the line between curiosity and doom grows thin. A mysterious invitation. A box dredged from dark water. A code that whispers in the voice of the dead. A light that should not exist beneath the waves. Each tale in What Sleeps Beneath leads further into the murk—where art becomes obsession, technology becomes faith, and the water remembers everything it’s been shown.

S18E07 - "What Sleeps Beneath" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

In this chilling new episode of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, host Malcolm Blackwood invites you to step past the glow of the campfire and into the places where fear breathes freely—under floorboards, deep within the woods, and in the hollow silence of the human heart. Four tales unfold: of words that write themselves, paths that refuse to end, forests that remember, and temptations that wear a friendly smile. Each story is a reminder that light doesn’t banish the dark—it only shows you where it begins.

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.

Step inside, if you dare—because tonight, the monsters live closer than you think.
