Thanksgiving Nightmares: 6 Thanksgiving Horror Stories of Killer Turkeys, Family & Terror

We’re serving up a full plate of Thanksgiving horror stories —killer turkeys, cursed family dinners, and cozy traditions that turn disturbingly dark. This feature-length Thanksgiving horror podcast special is made for holiday travel, late-night cooking, or hiding from your relatives while you lose yourself in a long, chilling anthology of spooky tales. Inside this Weekly Spooky Thanksgiving horror compilation , you’ll hear: • “Thanksgiving Dinner” — by Rachael Redolfi A cop comes home to quiet Monticello, Indiana for Thanksgiving… but her picture-perfect small town and deeply religious family are hiding tensions ready to explode. When dinner is finally served, the secrets on the table may be far more dangerous than anything in the oven. Perfect for fans of small-town horror and family-gathering gone wrong stories. • “Turkey Shoot” — by David O’Hanlon A small-town sheriff, a rookie deputy, and a jumpy coroner investigate a mutilated body and a missing turkey hunter. Out in the woods, they discover that something is hunting them back—and this year’s Thanksgiving bird has a lot more bite than anyone bargained for. A brutal, fun killer turkey story with slasher energy. • “Fiendsgiving” — by Rob Fields A toxic friend group races to make it to an exclusive Thanksgiving-night party, desperate to stay on their queen bee’s good side. But once they arrive, jealousies, grudges, and cruel games morph into something far deadlier, turning “friendsgiving” into a bloody, supernatural trap. Ideal for listeners who love holiday party horror . • “Turkey Terror” — by Douglas Waltz Raised in a family that celebrates Thanksgiving by hunting their own bird, one man treks through the frozen Upper Peninsula determined to end the tradition forever. At an isolated cave on the shore of Lake Superior, he learns why no one talks about the last hunt… and what really stalks the snow. A chilling slice of winter wilderness horror . • “Homecoming” — by Rob Fields Strickfield teens Bella and Einny can’t wait to escape their cursed hometown for Thanksgiving break. But Strickfield doesn’t let go so easily. As family, old enemies, and something far darker close in, their holiday road trip turns into a deadly homecoming they may not survive. Great for fans of YA-style supernatural horror and small-town curses . • “The Real First Thanksgiving” — by Bruce Haney A woman wakes in a black room lit only by a TV stuck on strange, Thanksgiving-themed programming and a painting of the Mayflower that seems to shift when she looks away. As she pieces together her captivity, another Thanksgiving story unfolds—about a young man, a brutal family fight, and a holiday tradition with roots in something much older and crueler. A moody blend of psychological horror and folk horror .
