Hello, I'm Blair Bathory, your host of the Something Scary podcast.

If this is your first time listening, welcome.

And if you are a return visitor, thank you for daring to drop in.

It's now our favorite month, and to celebrate, we have prepared lots of spine-chilling surprises.

Joining us from all over the spookyverse, we'll have special guests writing and narrating

new horror stories for you. And before we get into our stories, we have some early Halloween

treats to share. We've been working on launching our spooky shop. That's right, we're creating some of the

most awesome something scary merch based on feedback we've gotten from all of you, and we think

you are going to love it. The spooky shop will launch on October 31st, but we wanted to offer

a sneak peek. You can find the link under our show description or on

YouTube.com slash snarled. Halloween season is officially upon us. The leaves are beginning to drop,

the air is crisp, and as the nights get colder, we can see our breath in the dark. It's tempting

to get in the spooky spirit watching horror movies with friends,

and even lighting a few candles to see what paranormal entities you can conjure.

But don't be fooled by what you think is just fun in games, because there are evil spirits all around us,

and they're just waiting for you to play with dark magic. or accidentally open a portal so they can come to our realm and wreck deadly havoc on our lives.

First, the choice to live or die, followed by a walking nightmare,

then the real horror of Burketsville.

Finally, in our featured story, long-awaited revenge.

So, want to hear something scary?

Sacrificial lambs.
