    S16E24 - "Rules of Survival" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
    Mar 10 2025
    Some rules are meant to be followed. Others exist for reasons you’ll never fully understand. But one thing is certain—ignoring them comes at a cost. In this chilling episode of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, Otis Jiry and Malcolm Blackwood present five terrifying tales where the rules aren’t just guidelines… they’re the only thing keeping the darkness at bay. A late-night job comes with an unusual set of instructions. A trip into the woods proves that something out there is listening. A man’s debt is paid in fire, but at what price? A basement hides a secret that refuses to stay buried. And when the clock strikes 3:13 AM, one man must decide whether to heed a warning… or face the unknown. Turn down the lights, settle in, and listen closely. Because tonight, survival depends on one simple truth: break the rules, and something will break you.

    S16E23 - "The Forgotten" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark
    Mar 3 2025
    When the past refuses to stay buried, when the sky itself betrays the laws of nature, when the line between legend and reality blurs beyond recognition—some truths are too terrifying to ignore. Tonight’s episode of Scary Stories Told in the Dark delves into five unsettling tales that will test the limits of human perception and defy rational explanation. A government project long thought abandoned conceals a horror that was never meant to be uncovered. A child with an eerie talent holds a power far beyond what any mortal should possess. A small town watches in terror as the sun itself begins to flicker out of existence. A forbidden artifact whispers dark secrets, threatening to unravel history itself. And a grieving husband discovers that some curses never die—they merely wait for the next soul to claim.

Otis Jiry has been my go to for horror since I first going him in Jan of 2020 since then I play him on repeat when I have something big going on, from cleaning to school work and even at bed time Otis Jiry has been my consent companion. I hope 2021 gives me more Otis Jiry.

Took a Long Time to get to the Story

I am putting this one away after 20 minutes. There are so many ads before and after a brief moment of actual story. :-(

Really?

I was not looking for a Dr Seuss story. Ridiculous and childish overdone rhyming. I hope this was a kids attempt at a story.
