    Cutting Deep into Horror | Fire in the Sky (1993) — Alien Abduction, Trauma & Small-Town Panic
    2025/09/12
    Fire in the Sky (1993) explained — the chilling alien-abduction film based on Travis Walton’s true story. On Cutting Deep into Horror, hosts Henrique Couto and Rachael Redolfi break down why the UFO sequence still shocks, how director Robert Lieberman builds dread, and where movie dramatization diverges from the real Arizona logging-crew case. We compare the film to Walton’s account, spotlight the cast (D.B. Sweeney, Robert Patrick, James Garner), and dig into small-town paranoia, survivor trauma, hypnosis testimony, and the 90s UFO boom.

    Inside this episode

    • Fire in the Sky true story vs. film — what’s verified and what’s contested.
    • Abduction set-piece breakdown: production design, practical effects, and sound that still terrify.
    • Performance notes: Sweeney’s vulnerability, Patrick’s stoicism, Garner as relentless investigator.
    • Themes & context: guilt, media pressure, and why the case haunts pop culture.
    • Legacy: how a cult classic shaped alien-abduction horror for the 90s and beyond.
    Is Fire in the Sky a true story?
    Yes. It’s based on Travis Walton’s 1975 abduction claim; the film dramatizes events for storytelling.

    Where to watch (U.S.) right now

  • Ep.347 – What Ricky Did on his Summer Vacation - Satanic Panic 1984

    Ep.347 – What Ricky Did on his Summer Vacation - Satanic Panic 1984
    2025/09/10
    Summer, 1984—at the height of the Satanic Panic. Ricky is a motor-mouthed teen who wants proof the Devil is listening. In a moonlit patch of woods, a dare turns into a ritual and a killing. What follows is darker: Ricky props the body in a lawn chair with sunglasses, invites classmates to look, and turns terror into spectacle—boombox hissing, insects buzzing, and bravado curdling into dread as word spreads and the cops close in.

    This isn’t a true-crime retelling; it’s a brutal horror story steeped in Acid King folklore—teen cult swagger, drugs, and a swaggering kid convinced he’s owed infernal fame. The consequences arrive in handcuffs and, at the end, a quiet, awful moment alone in a jail cell. Listener discretion advised for graphic violence, drug use, and suicide.

  • Terrifying & True | Resurrection Mary: The True Story of Chicago’s Vanishing Hitchhiker Ghost

    Terrifying & True | Resurrection Mary: The True Story of Chicago’s Vanishing Hitchhiker Ghost
    2025/09/08
    Resurrection Mary is Chicago’s most famous ghost—and one of America’s most chilling vanishing hitchhiker legends. For nearly a century, terrified drivers on Archer Avenue have reported picking up a mysterious young woman in white… only for her to vanish near Resurrection Cemetery.

    In this deep dive, we unravel the true story behind the ghost: a chilling mix of paranormal sightings, tragic deaths, and urban legends that span decades. Who was Resurrection Mary? Was she a real woman—like Mary Bregovy or Anna Norkus—or just a powerful symbol of loss and folklore?

    With firsthand witness accounts, historical records, eerie media coverage, and theories from leading paranormal researchers, we separate fact from fiction in one of the most enduring ghost stories in America.

    If you’re fascinated by true ghost stories, haunted roads, and real paranormal encounters, this episode delivers.

    We’re telling that story tonight.

  • Ep.346 – Abandonment Issues - The Changeling’s Bargain: Irish Fae Horror at Knocknarea

    Ep.346 – Abandonment Issues - The Changeling’s Bargain: Irish Fae Horror at Knocknarea
    2025/09/03
    In the rain-soaked woods below Knocknarea in Sligo, Ireland, a man raised human but born fae bargains with the Fair Folk to save his unborn child. Armed with “cold iron” bullets, a stolen sprite, and a prophecy learned from a carnival crone’s mirror, he confronts an emerald pillar of flame and an ancient court that claims his bloodline. Irish folklore collides with modern terror as love, identity, and iron lore decide the fate of a family. Expect changelings, eerie glens, moss-slick boulders, and a showdown where one wrong move means a crib left empty forever. Weekly Spooky delivers a tense, folklore-rich horror story perfect for fans of fairies, fae bargains, and dark Celtic mythology.

    Abandonment Issues — by Douglas Waltz.

  • Terrifying & True | Born to Raise Hell: Richard Speck and the 1966 Chicago Nurse Massacre

    Terrifying & True | Born to Raise Hell: Richard Speck and the 1966 Chicago Nurse Massacre
    2025/09/01
    On a sweltering July night in 1966, Richard Speck forced his way into a South Side Chicago townhouse filled with young student nurses. By morning, eight women were dead—strangled, stabbed, and terrorized in what became known as the Chicago Nurse Massacre. Only one survivor lived to tell the tale, her testimony etching this crime into history.

    In this episode of Terrifying & True, we unravel the story of Richard Speck—his violent past in Texas, the night of horror that gripped Chicago, the frantic manhunt, and the dramatic trial that ended with a shocking twist in the justice system. From Speck’s infamous “Born to Raise Hell” tattoo to the disturbing prison tape that surfaced decades later, this is the complete, harrowing account of one of America’s darkest crimes.

    We’re telling that story tonight.

  • Unknown Broadcast | Terror in Caves and Castles: Five Horror Stories of Murder and Madness

    Unknown Broadcast | Terror in Caves and Castles: Five Horror Stories of Murder and Madness
    2025/08/31
    My dear, the walls around us are never as silent as they seem. Beneath the earth, behind locked doors, even within painted frames—there are whispers waiting to be heard, and horrors waiting to be seen.

    Tonight, we descend into five tales where stone, sea, and shadow conceal unspeakable truths… and where murder leaves its mark in the most unexpected places.

    🕳️ The Thing in the Cave
    Deep underground, something stirs. And once it finds you, the dark will never let you go.

    👊 The Brute
    There are men who fight for survival, and then there are beasts who only fight to destroy.

    🌊 Wave of Terror
    The ocean is merciless, my dear. Its waves carry secrets, and sometimes, they return bodies.

    🏰 Murder Castle
    Behind brick walls and winding halls, the architect waits. Every door a trap, every room a grave.

    🖼️ The Phantom Picture
    Some portraits are more than paint. Some eyes follow too closely. And some images are alive.

    So linger here, my dear, and look carefully. For what you fear may already be standing behind you.
