    S19E12 - "To Infinity" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

    For thirteen-year-old friends Jack and Ryan, exploring an empty office building seems like an ordinary way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Then Jack discovers a door they don’t remember seeing and persuades Ryan to take one last look. Beyond it, the building stops making sense. As familiar rooms repeat and the route behind them disappears, the boys search for an explanation—and a way home. But something is stirring beyond the beige walls, and every doorway forces them to decide whether they can bear to discover what comes next. Join Malcolm Blackwood for “To Infinity,” featuring “Sine Fine,” the debut horror story from Mercer Groshek. A chilling journey into impossible spaces and a friendship pushed to its limits, this episode begins with a promise that sounds harmless enough: they’ll leave after just one. More. Room.

    "Side Effects May Include" - Scary Stories Told in the Dark

    SmallDoc promises to make routine doctor visits a thing of the past. One simple injection puts microscopic medical machines to work inside the body, treating illness before it can disrupt everyday life. Dean Swanson’s friends swear by it. His mother feels better than she has in years. His boss sees no reason he should refuse. Dean would rather keep his cold. Then an unsettling phone call and a trip to the pharmacy give him something more serious to worry about. Familiar voices sound wrong. Ordinary movements seem strangely rehearsed. And the treatment everyone recommends begins to look less reassuring with every encounter. Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

    "A Gift for the King" - Scary Stories Told in the Dark

    Elliot takes the same walk through his neighborhood every night. He knows the streets, the turns, the ordinary sounds after dark. But tonight, a sudden fog conceals the way ahead—and a frightened stranger insists that someone is coming. The man speaks of a ruler who demands tribute from everyone he encounters. Elliot wants to dismiss him. Then the streetlights begin to fail, and he hears claws striking pavement somewhere beyond the mist. With his familiar neighborhood disappearing around him, Elliot must decide how much to trust a stranger whose terror seems increasingly justified. Whoever is approaching expects an offering. The problem is, Elliot has nothing prepared. And he may not be prepared for the price he'll truly have to pay. Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

    "The Abyss" - Scary Stories Told in the Dark

    An evening of fishing should have ended before dark. Instead, three friends find themselves stranded on a quiet Finger Lake, their motor dead and their phones left behind. The shore is only a few hundred feet away, but with the summer cabins empty and no help in sight, they have little choice but to wait for morning. To pass the time, Paul tells a story about drowned men and strange shapes beneath the water. His companions laugh it off—until an empty rowboat drifts out of the darkness and their lantern begins to fade. As the hours stretch on, every unexplained sound draws their attention below the hull. In water this dark, there is no way to know what might be moving beneath them. Or what it wants. Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

    "Fright Club" - Scary Stories Told in the Dark

    A university logo, a few Halloween decorations, and a generous cash prize make Fright Club look like an easy challenge. For one skeptical student and his friend Jesse, a hundred-dollar side bet makes entering irresistible. The rules are simple: no heart conditions, no leaving before the bell, and nothing follows you out. Then the lights go out. Their phones stop working, something begins scraping in the darkness, and the pumpkin in the middle of the room feels disturbingly warm beneath a searching hand. As a campus competition becomes an ordeal he can no longer explain, the student must decide how far he is willing to go for answers—and whether the people running Fright Club ever intended to let its contestants walk away.

    "DreamShare" - Scary Stories Told in the Dark

    DreamShare promises the ultimate escape: a world built from imagination, where friends can share impossible adventures, abandoned dreams can become reality, and the limits of waking life no longer apply. For Evan Delaney, it begins as everything the advertisements promised. Each night offers another breathtaking world and another reason to leave ordinary life behind. Then an unfamiliar man appears inside a private dream—watching Evan, following him, and uncovering memories no stranger should possess. Soon, pieces of Evan’s subconscious begin surfacing in the waking world. People know his secrets. The application refuses to remain deleted. And the mysterious visitor makes it clear that Evan’s dreams no longer belong to him. To reclaim his mind, Evan must uncover what DreamShare is truly collecting—and confront the presence waiting beneath its most beautiful illusions. But in a world where consciousness has become the ultimate commodity, waking up may no longer be enough to escape. Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/

    "The Hairy Hands of Briar's Bend" - Scary Stories Told in the Dark

    After losing his career, his marriage, and nearly everything he had saved, Caleb returns to his quiet Midwestern hometown hoping to begin again. Instead, he encounters a warning that has circulated through the community for generations: never travel Briar’s Bend after dark. The isolated road has been the site of countless unexplained accidents. Drivers report losing control on clear nights, their vehicles suddenly pulled toward the trees by a force they cannot see. Older residents claim the cause is something known only as the Hairy Hands. Caleb has no patience for ghost stories—until an invisible grip seizes his steering wheel. Drawn into the road’s disturbing history, Caleb discovers decades of crashes, frightened survivors, and accounts that conventional explanations cannot resolve. The closer he comes to understanding Briar’s Bend, the more dangerously personal its legend becomes. Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chillingtalesfordarknights/
