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 and secrets buried deep within a shattered alien vessel begin to surface, Isaiah finds himself confronting memories he thought were nothing more than nightmares. Memories of something ancient. Something vast. Something that may have been shaping the fate of humanity long before our species ever looked up at the stars. Tonight’s tale begins an epic journey across cosmic history, forbidden knowledge, and the terrifying consequences of playing god with evolution. And this is only the beginning.

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 with spectral mischief, secret factions, and escalating chaos — but beneath the humor lies a question that cuts close to home: What if everything you thought you knew about “the enemy” was wrong?

S14E11 - "A Modern Convenience" - Horror Hill

One desperate wish. And suddenly, reality itself becomes… negotiable. From author Ian Dean comes a dark, razor-edged tale about control, corruption, and the hidden cost of rewriting your own mistakes. Hosted by Erik Peabody, this episode of Horror Hill explores a question we’ve all asked ourselves… and dares to answer it.

S14E10 - "Festering Growths" - Horror Hill
In this episode of Horror Hill, psychological unease seeps in through the cracks of the everyday.

S14E09 - "Childhood Friends" - Horror Hill
Some friendships are formed in classrooms. Others begin in playgrounds… And a few are born at the edge of the woods, where no one is watching. In this unsettling episode of Horror Hill, childhood memories resurface with a quiet, creeping menace. A chance encounter leads to questions that feel harmless at first—until they aren’t. Beneath familiar places and forgotten paths, something waits patiently, hiding behind friendly faces and half-remembered rules of the world. As innocence brushes up against curiosity, the line between what is imagined and what is allowed begins to blur. And once that boundary is crossed, there may be no safe way back.

S14E08 - "Deep Hurting" - Horror Hill
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 Thing Like Hatred or Disgust” by J.R. Hamantaschen – While working a routine shift at a grocery store, a young employee has a fleeting but unsettling encounter with an elderly stranger—one that lingers in his thoughts far longer than it should. As the day unfolds, a series of increasingly disturbing incidents ripple through the store, hinting at a shared anguish carried by those at the far end of life. Ordinary spaces become charged with dread, and quiet despair gives way to something far more profound and unexplainable. A deeply unsettling meditation on aging, identity, and the limits of human endurance, this story confronts the terrifying possibility that some truths are revealed only when it’s already too late.

S14E07 - "Far Sight" - Horror Hill
In this episode of Horror Hill, a seemingly harmless talent becomes a doorway into other people’s lives. With a single repair, the boundary between observer and participant begins to dissolve, revealing moments never meant to be seen—and consequences never meant to be faced. What starts as curiosity turns invasive. What feels like insight becomes hunger. And the farther the view reaches, the harder it is to look away.

S14E06 - "Sermons On the Mountain (Part 2)" - Horror Hill
High in the remote hills of rural Massachusetts, something ancient has been stirred—and it is moving. In this final chapter of Sermons on the Mountain, the quiet isolation of Dunwich gives way to mounting dread as unseen forces leave unmistakable scars upon the land. Homes fall, livestock vanish, and the air itself grows foul with a presence that refuses to remain hidden. Whispers of old rites and forbidden knowledge resurface, hinting that what was once confined to a single family’s dark ambitions may now threaten everything beyond the valley. As fear spreads and reason falters, a small group of scholars races to uncover the truth behind the disturbance—armed only with fragments of esoteric knowledge, half-forgotten warnings, and the uneasy sense that humanity was never meant to witness what now walks the hills. Bleak, oppressive, and charged with cosmic terror, this episode brings Horror Hill’s journey through a Lovecraftian classic to a thunderous close—where ancient powers stir, reality bends, and survival itself feels like a fragile miracle.

S14E05 - "Sermons On the Mountain (Part 1)" - Horror Hill
In this chilling first installment, Horror Hill ventures into Dunwich, a forgotten backwater steeped in decay, superstition, and something far older than human history. Strange noises echo beneath the earth. Fires burn where no fires should. A family long feared by its neighbors guards secrets best left buried—and raises questions no one dares to ask aloud. As forbidden knowledge, inherited corruption, and cosmic dread begin to intersect, the boundaries between myth and reality grow dangerously thin. What begins as a portrait of rural rot slowly reveals a deeper unease: the sense that humanity is not alone… and never truly was.

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. The deeper they venture, the more the house seems to recognize them—pulling secrets from their pasts, fears from their minds, and consequences from emotions they can no longer control. In this extended holiday episode of Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody guides listeners through a relentless descent into architectural horror, psychological unraveling, and a setting that does not simply contain terror—it reacts to it. Claustrophobic, merciless, and deeply personal, Gateways to Annihilation is a slow-burning nightmare where survival depends not just on where you go, but how you feel when you get there.

Wikman, a government project in a quiet Minnesota town uncovers something buried beneath still waters—something ancient, patient, and far less dormant than it should be.

What unfolds is a razor-edged descent into panic, absurdity, and the unexpected horrors of being human. Equal parts darkly funny and deeply unsettling, this episode explores what happens when the smallest anxieties meet forces far beyond our control.

In this season-ending descent into Gothic terror, Horror Hill host Erik Peabody guides listeners through Clark Ashton Smith’s legendary tale of necromancy, dread, and the monstrous consequences of unchecked ambition.
