Description

Bundle up, my spookies—this Best of 2025 episode of the Weekly Spooky horror podcast is a snow-choked compilation built for year-round bingeing: winter horror, blizzard dread, creature features, and a finale that pivots into true crime + folklore with a chilling Terrifying & True deep dive.

Inside this Best of 2025 compilation:
  • “I Love the Cold” — Jonathan Lumpkin • A quiet winter evening turns wrong when comfort gives way to a creeping, unnatural chill—and the cold starts to feel less like weather and more like a presence.
  • “The Blizzard of ’58: Never Meet Your Idols” — Bruce Haney • A fan’s dream encounter collides with a historic storm, where admiration curdles into obsession and the whiteout becomes a trap you can’t charm your way out of.
  • “I Was Stalked by a Monster from the Woods” — Michael Kelso • From a porch with binoculars to a tree line that moves on purpose, this one escalates into full-tilt cryptid horror—the kind that makes you stop looking out the window at night. 
  • “The Wendigo Curse: A Legend of Greed and Destruction” (Terrifying & True) • We wrap with wendigo folklore, winter starvation terror, and the unsettling bridge between myth and documented history—where the legend becomes a warning… and the real world gets even darker. 

New here? These episodes stand alone—so hit play, lock the door, and tell us: which winter nightmare got under your skin the most?
