S13E22 - "Dinosaurs!" - Horror Hill

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.
