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.

Two tales. Two forgotten corners of the Midwest. And two creatures that should never have been found. In this chilling double-feature from acclaimed horror author D.D. 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. Then, a group of paranormal thrill-seekers ventures into the ruins of an abandoned paper mill, hoping to glimpse a local legend… only to discover that some legends aren’t content to be observed from afar. From submerged secrets to the shadows of a collapsing factory, tonight’s stories drag listeners deep into the hidden ecosystems of fear—where the wildlife bites back, evolution takes unexpected turns, and curiosity is the most dangerous instinct of all.

Welcome to a new season of Horror Hill, where the ordinary slips, cracks, and reveals the nightmare beneath. In this premiere episode, host Erik Peabody invites you into the mind-bending world of acclaimed author J.R. Hamantaschen, whose tales twist everyday moments into something jagged and uncanny. Tonight’s story begins with something familiar—a promising date, a quiet restaurant, a heartbeat of hope—and then takes a hard turn into territory no one could have prepared for. 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. Monsters may come in many forms… and some of them are wearing very familiar faces.

When night falls on Horror Hill, reality thins—just enough for the things lurking underneath to slip through.

There’s no theme. No lesson. Just three stories that start in ordinary places… and take you somewhere you absolutely weren’t prepared to go. Strap in. Your dose of Nightmare Fuel To Go is ready.

Tonight on Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody invites you into an episode that defies logic, science, and perhaps even sanity itself. What begins as an innocent search for stories takes a delirious turn into the realm of the impossible—where forgotten lakes hide secrets older than the world above, and abandoned laboratories harbor creations that should never have drawn breath. In this double-feature of vintage madness, two long-buried tales rise from the depths to confront the limits of human understanding. Explorers push too far into the unknown. Scientists challenge the laws of nature itself. And when the earth finally answers, it answers with teeth. Expect the unexpected. Question everything. "The Monster of Lake Lametrie" by Wardon Allan Curtis – High in the Wyoming mountains lies a lake whispered about in old journals and frontier legends—a place where ancient things still move beneath the black water. When Professor McLennegan and his ailing companion Framingham arrive in search of scientific discovery and fresh mountain air, they instead encounter forces that defy biology, reason, and sanity. As strange upheavals churn the lake and impossible creatures rise to the surface, the professor is drawn toward an experiment that could change the boundaries of life itself. A haunting tale of obsession and awe, this story delves into the price of curiosity—and the thin line between discovery and madness. "The Day of the Dragon" by Guy Endore – Long dismissed by his colleagues and pushed to the margins of academia, Professor Paul Crabshaw dreams of vindication. His quiet resentment turns to dangerous ambition when he embarks on a secret experiment meant to revolutionize biology—but instead awakens something far older, stronger, and infinitely more terrifying than he could have imagined. As the consequences ripple outward, a lone witness recounts the bizarre chain of events that began in a dusty laboratory and spiraled into a nightmare beyond human control. A darkly comedic yet chilling exploration of scientific hubris, this tale asks what happens when myth takes flight… and the world becomes its feeding ground.

Two stories. Two parents. Two nights where bedtime becomes something far stranger. In tonight’s episode of Horror Hill, host Erik Peabody invites you into the quiet hours between stories and sleep—when imagination runs wild and the things children say start to sound a little too true. First, a father’s playful bedtime tales twist into something he can’t control, as laughter and love give way to the unspeakable. Then, another parent learns that the line between grief, memory, and the world beyond the glass is thinner than he ever imagined. Featuring chilling works by J.R. Hamantaschen and Craig Groshek, “Kids, Am I Right?” explores the mysteries of childhood, the terror of losing what you love most, and the unsettling thought that maybe… they’ve been right all along. Because sometimes, when children see monsters, they’re not imagining them.
