S14E16 - "Haunted Grounds, Haunted Minds" - Horror Hill
Tonight on Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody invites you into a story where the darkest horrors aren’t born of ghosts or monsters—but of people. Of influence. Of ideas planted deep enough to take root. When a troubled youth is sent to a remote camp promising “reform,” he finds something far more insidious lurking beneath its surface. What begins as a fight for survival soon becomes a descent into something far more permanent—where the line between victim and perpetrator begins to blur, and the consequences of a single moment echo for decades.

S14E14 - "Star Scream (Part 1)" - Horror Hill
In the dead of night, a mysterious craft crashes into the forests of New Mexico, carving a scar across the landscape and drawing the attention of the people who deal with things the world isn’t supposed to know about. Among them is Isaiah Mitchell—a man who has spent his career investigating the impossible. But for Isaiah, this mission is different, because the place where the object fell is not unfamiliar to him. It’s the same place where, as a child, he experienced something he has spent thirty years trying to convince himself never happened. As the investigation begins...

S14E12 - "Ghost Ghost Falcon Rangers" - Horror Hill
Ghosts. Secret manuals. A war you never knew was happening. In this wildly inventive episode of Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody presents a tale that flips the supernatural rulebook on its head. What begins as an offbeat confession about an unusual pastime quickly spirals into something much larger — a hidden world where the dead are trained, unseen battles rage in city streets, and the line between hero and villain isn’t nearly as clear as it seems. At once irreverent, imaginative, and unexpectedly heartfelt, this story blends absurdist fantasy with sharp commentary and surprising emotional depth. It’s a romp filled...

Winter has a way of stripping things down to the bone. In this episode of Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody invites you into the season he calls "deep hurting," that long stretch of cold where the days blur together, the body falters, and the mind drifts toward thoughts it usually keeps buried. Featuring a bleak and deeply unsettling tale from J.R. Hamantaschen, this episode lingers in the spaces between despair and revelation, asking whether some truths arrive too late to save us—and whether some knowledge was never meant to be endured for long. “Love Is Not an Eternal Thin...

High in the remote hills of rural Massachusetts, something ancient has been stirred—and it is moving.

As fear spreads and reason falters, a small group of s...

In this chilling first installment, Horror Hill ventures into Dunwich, a forgotten backwater steeped in decay, superstition, and something far older than human history.

As forbidden knowledge, inherited corruption, and cosmic dread begin to intersect, the boundaries between myth and reality grow dangerously thin.

In this special seasonal episode, host and narrator Erik Peabody presents one of the most enduring and unsettling works ever committed to the horror canon: “The Call of Cthulhu” by H.P. Lovecraft.

S14E03 - "Gateways to Annihilation" - Horror Hill
When a small group of creatives accepts an offer to explore a strange and exclusive house, they expect eccentricity, not catastrophe. But beyond the first door lies a place that refuses to stay still, a labyrinth of rooms that shift, observe, and remember.
