S13E03 - "Tall Tales" - Horror Hill

When the night is at its hottest, horror finds new ways to chill the blood. This week on Horror Hill, two dark tales simmer beneath the surface of summer, waiting to erupt in violence and dread. In one, a coastal getaway hides a legacy of silence and slaughter. In the other, a late-night emergency broadcast unravels reality itself. Trust no voice. Trust no shape. And when the sky turns red… run. From rising talents Ross Tyson and Traice Mauzey come two stories steeped in suspicion, folklore, and fear—crafted to make you question what you see, and who you think you know. So pour yourself something cold, draw the blinds, and join us. Because on this hill, the butcher’s work is never done.

This week on Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody invites you into the shadowy corners of memory, obsession, and the web of things best left unseen. In this double feature from acclaimed horror author Ambrose Ibsen, a casual Halloween hangout drifts into the darkest reaches of the internet, and a quiet night by the fire becomes a passage into long-buried secrets. These aren’t your usual ghost stories. These are stories that linger. Stories that creep back in the dark hours, whispering truths you wish you hadn’t heard. Tune in for a tale of screens that show too much—and another of smiles that hide something colder.

In this feature-length episode of Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody guides you through two unforgettably twisted tales from author James Flynn—where memory, madness, and malevolence converge in ways that defy explanation. One man confronts the shadows of a past best left buried. Another stares too long into a truth that should never have been uncovered. Both face the terrible cost of witnessing what the rest of the world refuses to see. Turn off the lights, press play, and prepare yourself. Some visions don’t fade with time. They grow sharper. And they’re looking right back at you.  Get 50% off plus free shipping at https://www.factormeals.com/horror50off and use code HORROR50OFF To watch the podcast on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/ChillingEntertainmentYT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/HorrorHillPodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you like the show, telling a friend about it would be amazing!

Step into the deep, humid dark of the Southern night—where the moss hangs heavy, the smiles linger too long, and what waits behind closed doors is anything but holy. In this season premiere of Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody guides you through two twisted tales from the backroads of Georgia, where the line between hospitality and horror blurs like heat on the highway. You’re about to meet friendly faces, hear distant music, and see lights dancing on the water. But take one wrong turn, accept one kind offer too many, and you might find yourself staying longer than you ever intended.

This week on Drew Blood’s Dark Tales… When a battle-hardened hitman stumbles into a nightmare no bullet can solve, salvation arrives from the most unlikely of allies: a bickering Southern couple armed with nothing but attitude, holy Vaseline, and a trailer full of bad decisions. From the outrageous mind of P.D. Williams comes a horror-comedy caper soaked in grit, guts, and gasoline, where the undead walk, mobsters mumble, and every bad idea leads to an even worse miracle. Strap in for “Craig’s Gangster”—an explosive blend of the profane and the paranormal, where the living aren't the only ones with a score to settle. If the horror doesn’t get you, the laughter just might. Two stories. Two different kinds of dread. Both will leave you checking over your shoulder long after the credits roll. In this special double feature, master of the unsettling Ambrose Ibsen invites you into two very different nightmares. First, a simple evening walk turns into something far more disturbing when strange patterns emerge in an otherwise ordinary apartment complex. Then, we descend into the forbidden depths of obsession, faith, and the monstrous consequences that can arise when one dares to peer too deeply beyond the veil of human understanding.

Something is speaking to us—from the void, from the wires, from the depths we were never meant to reach. In this unnerving trio of tales, Horror Hill host Erik Peabody guides you through a night where the line between coincidence and curse begins to blur. A nostalgic gift reveals an uncanny intelligence. A wrong number rings with something far more dangerous than a prank. And in the frozen reaches of the Earth, ancient silence breaks with a sound that shouldn’t be possible. These aren’t just voices. They know your name. And they want to be heard.

What do a Halloween candy bowl, an overgrown ruin in the woods, and a family reunion have in common? In this unsettling trio of tales, innocence is tested, trust is betrayed, and long-buried grudges claw their way to the surface. Join host Erik Peabody as he guides you through a night of dark decisions and dire consequences—where youthful curiosity, sibling rivalry, and seasonal mischief each take a sinister turn. From playful pranks to ancient evils and the quiet rot of familial resentment, The Folly of Youth explores what happens when boundaries are crossed and monsters—real or imagined—are invited in.

In this triple-feature episode of Horror Hill, acclaimed author Jesse Pullins invites you to take the scenic route through a landscape where reality frays at the edges, and something ancient waits just beyond the next bend. Whether it’s a lonely drive through the dark woods, a nostalgic joyride that veers into nightmare, or a house visit that turns out to be anything but routine, each tale leads further from the familiar—and closer to something terrifying. So buckle up, keep your eyes on the road, and whatever you do... don’t stop. "Watch for Deer" by Jesse Pullins – Fresh off his first shift at a new job, a young man makes the long drive home through a remote wooded backroad. But when a sudden encounter on the dark highway leaves him shaken, he begins to suspect that not everything in the forest is as it seems. With the night growing colder and stranger by the minute, he’ll have to confront something far older—and more deliberate—than any wild animal. A haunting meditation on guilt, nature, and unseen forces, this story will change the way you see the roadside forever. "Neon Nightmare" by Jesse Pullins – Warren and his friend Rodger are riding high—literally—as they cruise the desert in an ’85 Corvette, amped on designer drugs and 1980s nostalgia. But their euphoric road trip begins to fracture when something starts following them: a shadow that speaks in whispers and leaves black stains in its wake. What begins as a psychedelic joyride soon becomes a violent sprint through a dreamscape where nothing is what it seems. Equal parts surreal and savage, this is a high-octane tale of escape, addiction, and the horrors that hitch a ride in our minds. "My Last House Blessing" by Jesse Pullins – Father Cain has made a living pretending to cleanse haunted homes—his robes, rosary, and “holy water” all just part of the act. But when he takes a new gig in a remote Victorian house, he finds himself facing more than just creaky floors and nervous homeowners. What was supposed to be a simple grift turns into a descent into something primal, ritualistic, and deeply wrong. A layered tale of deception and consequence, this story peels back the curtain on the horrors that can’t be faked.

Step quietly, and tread carefully. In tonight’s chilling descent into the unknown, host Erik Peabody brings you two haunting tales by Robert J. Bradshaw. In the first, a restless tenant hears unsettling sounds from an attic no one claims to inhabit—until a mysterious figure offers him a series of choices too tempting to refuse. In the second, a sacred ritual leads a lone hunter to confront a nightmare from the sky... and the price of faith may be far greater than fear itself. Two encounters. Two reckonings. And the uneasy truth that sometimes, the greatest horrors are the ones we invite.  Get your summer savings at https://www.mintmobile.com/horror To watch the podcast on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/ChillingEntertainmentYT⁠⁠⁠ Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/HorrorHillPodcast⁠⁠⁠ If you like the show, telling a friend about it would be amazing!

In this chilling double-feature from Horror Hill, descent is inevitable. Journey with us into the dark—where the walls whisper secrets not meant for human ears, and the pursuit of legacy leads to a fate far worse than failure. Beneath the surface of ordinary life lie obsessions, isolations, and creations that take on lives of their own. You’ll find no comfort here. Only questions. And the gnawing sense that something is watching… waiting… and remembering.
