Echoes in the Dark: Original Stories, True Hauntings, and Horror Genre Explored
The Dark Side of Storytelling...
Echoes in the Dark: Original Stories, True Hauntings, & Horror Genre Explored is the podcast for people who sleep with the lights off but absolutely shouldn’t. Each week, we bring you original horror tales designed to make you question that noise in the hallway, dive into true hauntings that’ll make you rethink old houses, and explore the movies, lore, monsters, and cultural nightmares that shape the horror genre.
Hosted by John Keaser Jr.—with the occasional unhinged commentary from Macabre Bob—Echoes in the Dark blends twisted storytelling with research, realism, and just enough adult sarcasm to make your therapist concerned. Expect dark humor, creepy vibes, and the kind of honest reactions you only get when the host is running on caffeine, trauma, and questionable life choices.
If you like your horror atmospheric, your folklore unsettling, and your jokes a little too inappropriate for HR, welcome home. Some echoes whisper…
These ones bite.

Feast of the Damned (The Thanksgiving Special)
Tonight, we carve into a feast of fear.
In this Thanksgiving special of Echoes in the Dark: Stories, Haunt, and Horrors, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos of holiday horror. From family curses and cults to killer turkeys and unhinged dinner parties, this episode celebrates the dark side of tradition with a full table of terror.
We begin with new chapters from Hopewell Hollow, peeling back the secrets buried in the cold dirt of the Hollow. Then we step into the real world for a chilling true haunting steeped in Thanksgiving folklore. And finally… we dive into our holiday horror movie gauntlet — including a full breakdown of ThanksKilling, The Menu, We Are What We Are, Hereditary, The Invitation, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
It’s a stuffing-packed celebration of slasher chaos, supernatural dread, and the bizarre cinematic turkeys that have made Thanksgiving one of horror’s strangest traditions.
If you like original stories, true hauntings, and unapologetically twisted horror commentary — you’re in the right place.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Let’s step into the dark.
That noise you hear while you're lying in bed is just your imagination...or is it?
