52. The Horror of Alien Abductions | UFO Sightings, Alien Horror Movies & Real-life Encounters

This week, we're looking to the skies as we dive into the terrifying world of Alien Encounters, UFO sightings and alleged abductions. We discuss what Aliens actually are, where the image of the Grey Alien came from, and the common themes that appear in reported alien abduction cases across the world. We also explore how horror movies have shaped our perception of extraterrestrial life, from terrifying abduction stories to the fear of the unknown lurking just beyond our understanding. Along the way, we examine some of the most famous encounter stories ever reported, including the Betty and Barney Hill case, the Travis Walton incident, and a chilling local UFO story from somewhere VERY close to home.

51. Demons In Your Dreams | Sleep Paralysis Terrors, Shadow People & Reddit's Creepiest Encounters

This week, we're diving into the terrifying world of Sleep Paralysis. From shadow people and the infamous Hat-Man to ancient folklore about demons that visit in the night, we explore one of the creepiest experiences millions of people claim to have had. We discuss what sleep paralysis actually is, whether science has all the answers, and why so many people report seeing eerily similar figures. We also look at horror films that may have been inspired by these experiences, explore sleep paralysis legends from around the world and read through some genuinely unsettling Reddit stories and real-life encounters.

49. Thirteen Ghosts (2001) | Spectres Of The Black Zodiac & The Glass House From Hell!

This week, we're stepping inside the glass house and revisiting Thirteen Ghosts - the chaotic early 2000s horror remake packed with cursed spirits, brutal deaths, strange mythology and a very questionable pair of psychic glasses! We break down the movie, the designs and stories of the ghosts themselves, the wild effects and whether this movie is actually an under-rated horror gem....or just nostalgic madness. From the Jackal to the Juggernaut to the bizarre machinery 'hidden' in a glass house....?! - We dive into what works and what absolutely didn't in this loud, messy and incredibly 2001 haunt.
