This week, Erik Peabody presents “Restoration” (Part 1) by Jordan Eilbert — a sprawling supernatural horror tale steeped in ancient bloodshed, impossible architecture, and things humanity was never meant to uncover.

Fred has seen his share of disturbing cleanup jobs, but nothing prepares him for the abandoned marble mansion covered in centuries-old bloodstains stretching across the floors, walls… and ceilings. As he and his crew begin restoring the mysterious structure, strange artifacts, vanished rooms, and a sinister visitor named Belial force Fred to confront a terrifying truth: whatever happened inside this place may not be over.

Don’t miss the beginning of this chilling two-part descent into cosmic horror and occult terror.

⚠️ The episode will also be available on YouTube 5/28!

Chilling Tales for Dark Nights

The big creepypasta and horror narrators that, for some reason, haven't been demonetized yet sure are awfully quiet about the livelihoods of dozens of their colleagues being summarily destroyed by YouTube these past two months. Meanwhile, the small to medium-sized channels that YouTube targeted are still banding together, and some are attempting to sue YouTube, and we're reaching out to see if we can join together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrDUr...

Chilling Tales for Dark Nights

A haunting new descent into psychological terror has arrived on THE DARKIVE — All Fear, No Filler. Performed by Erik Peabody and written by Sam Morris, “The Horrible” follows a gifted young pianist whose intrusive thoughts begin to manifest in ways no one can explain—and no one may survive. What begins as anxiety and obsession spirals into a nightmare of caves, creatures, guilt, and unspeakable violence in this chilling slow-burn horror experience you won’t soon forget.

We’re also incredibly close to qualifying THE DARKIVE for monetization — we need just 500 more listeners to tune in and help get us there. If you enjoy scary stories, horror fiction, creepypastas, and immersive audio terror with no fluff and no filler, now’s the perfect time to check us out and subscribe. MORE STORIES ARE ON THE WAY.

Chilling Tales for Dark Nights

We want to begin by saying thank you. The support, encouragement, messages, shares, and kindness we’ve received from this community over the past several weeks have meant more to us than we can properly express.

But we also want to be honest:

Right now, we need your support more than ever before.

Every listener matters. Every follow matters. Every share, subscription, like, comment, stream, and recommendation matters. This moment is pivotal for us, and now is the time for those who care about independent horror to help us build these new platforms and keep this network alive and sustainable moving forward.

If you’ve ever considered subscribing, following, sharing our work, or listening outside of YouTube, this is the moment to do it. These actions genuinely make a difference, and collectively, they help determine what the future of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights looks like.

Since so many of you have been asking what the BEST ways are to support us right now in the wake of YouTube’s monetization issues, we wanted to lay it all out clearly in one place.

🩸 1. Become a Patron
The single BEST way to support us directly is by joining our Patrons Area, where you can access our massive archive completely ad-free, along with exclusives and early access:

There are THOUSANDS of episodes across these shows and enormous back catalogs to explore. If you enjoy our content and can spare the platform switch, it helps us tremendously.

📺 3. Follow us on Rumble
All NEW material will now debut on Rumble:

Please follow, like, comment, and watch there if you can.

🕯️ 4. Support THE DARKIVE
Our newest podcast, THE DARKIVE, is designed for listeners who want pure stories without intros, host segments, or interruptions.

We’ll be updating it regularly with brand-new material and stories from our archives.

The show needs 1,000 followers before Spotify can directly monetize it, and we’re about halfway there right now. We need EVERYONE we can get to subscribe/follow.

This week, Erik Peabody closes out the season with “The Horrible” by Sam Morris — a sprawling descent into psychological torment, ancient evil, and grotesque transformation.

When gifted young pianist Madeline Rapaport discovers a hidden cave deep in the woods, she encounters something that offers freedom from the horrifying thoughts consuming her mind. But the relief comes at a terrible cost. As shadows begin creeping through the Rapaport mansion and terrifying changes overtake those around her, Madeline realizes that some darkness doesn’t stay buried for long.

Disturbing, atmospheric, and relentlessly unsettling, this finale delivers a nightmarish blend of psychological horror and creature terror that will linger long after the final words are spoken.

📅 The episode will also arrive on YouTube on 5/21.

Chilling Tales for Dark Nights

Quick poll: how many of you are being notified of our new releases when they come out, here on YouTube? (If you have the Bell Notification icon clicked for us)

We've been receiving reports for years that even though we post 5-6 times a week, sometimes more than one in a day, our listeners, even the ones with the Bell icon clicked, don't see notifications for us. And our subscribers, of which there are nearly 500k, are absolutely never informed. Subscriptions apparently do nothing on YouTube anymore, and haven't in a long time, ever since algorithmic recommendations took over.

But, for those of you who have the Bell clicked, let us know.
