Hello, my dark valentines. I'm Marquia, and this is the Something Scary podcast. To our veteran

worst. First, defying mother at the cost of death, followed by one woman struggling to keep her

sister alive, then an ungrateful bride who will suffer her own wrath.

Finally, in our featured story, Valentine's Day goes horribly wrong. I receive hundreds of creepy

story submissions every single week, and of those, the scariest ones, make it unto our podcast, along with the story that

we've chosen to animate and post over at YouTube.com slash snarled. If you have a tale you're dying

to share, send me an email at something scary at snarl.com. If you'd like to support something

scary, then consider joining our Patreon. As a patron, not only can you help the show and see ad-free episodes,

but you can also be a part of the horror,

and hear your name featured in one of our podcasts or weekly video stories.
