The first story, "Christmas Cranberries" by L.F. Falconer, introduces us to the mind of a young boy named Ronnie who wrestles with a peculiar craving that leads him down a dark path. As his innocent childhood thoughts twist into sinister impulses, Ronnie's interactions with his pet dog, Susie, reveal a haunting hunger that will culminate in a shocking climax. This tale explores the terrifying intersections between childhood innocence and malevolence, ensuring you’ll never look at Christmas the same way again.
In "The Naughty List" by Keith Tomlin, meet Andy Price, a boy who gets caught in a nightmarish game that unravels on Christmas Eve. Awakening in a chilling chamber filled with other children and a terrifying creature, Andy must confront his own devious nature as he fights for survival against the odds. This story dives deep into the consequences of being deemed naughty and the fear that lurks when joy is transformed into chaos.
Next, "Lady Frankenstein" by Rob Fields plunges us into the heart of a Christmas resurrection gone awry. Vincent Frankenstein’s quest to create life takes a bizarre turn when his creation—a head stitched together from various body parts—reinvents her existence on a hellish rampage. As she embraces her newfound freedom, she embarks on a bloody spree that intertwines the legends of her infamous family with the modern horror of her existence, all set against the backdrop of the holiday season.
From horrifying science fiction to stories of southern classic charm, "Blood on the Snow" by Shane Migliavaka pulls us into a roadhouse full of unexpected surprises as a chilling murder mystery unfolds during a snowstorm on Christmas Eve. With spooky situations and tantalizing twists, this entry keeps listeners on the edge of their seats as blood spills, secrets are uncovered, and characters are hunted against the backdrop of a seemingly unassuming holiday gathering.
As the holiday countdown continues, "A Christmas to Remember" by Joe Solmo offers a harrowing look at redemption, as Donnie returns home only to have fate intervene in the most gruesome of ways. Surrounded by Christmas cheer but facing a sinister plot, listeners travel with Donnie as he grapples with his past mistakes and the tragic consequences of his choices.
In a cosmic twist, "Twelve Days" by Mike Ashkewe takes listeners on a space odyssey aboard the Roanoke, where pilot David Lambert finds himself trapped in a nightmarish spiral of malfunction, betrayal, and existential dread on Christmas. This gripping drama brings forth themes of solitude and the perils of trusting artificial intelligence in a universe rife with dangers, capturing the essence of festive horror in a richly layered narrative.
Finally, the chilling ambiance of "A Christmas to Remember" concludes the episode, reminding listeners of the sometimes-naughty whispers of Santa and the elves who may not be as jolly as they seem. As the stories weave together to create a tapestry of horror and suspense, Couto expertly leads the audience through a darkly festive experience where holiday cheer hangs by a thread.
