Good things Darklings aren’t Gremlins… ‘cause we’re definitely feeding you after midnight (eastern and central, at least). 😈 Episode 89, and our first taste of Pretty Dark holiday cheer, is ready for your ears wherever podcasts are sold!

We’re creeping closer to midnight, and Gremlins Part I, in which we’ll lay out the mischievous history of society’s need for a scapegoat, and go behind the scenes to learn the Spielberg-ian story of it’s production and special effects. Just… steer clear of the blender… and the microwave. 👹

Thought we’d have a little fun with one of the algorithms that runs our lives on SPOTIFY WRAPPED DAY! Enjoy some “childhood wrapped” meme-ories and scroll to the end for those Pretty Dark Wrapped stats. Be sure to tag us if you come upon any familiar darkness on your own Wrapped journey. 👀 Thank you, as always, for listening and making us a part of your 2024. We couldn’t do any of this nonsense without our Darkling fam. And we’ll never forget it. 🔦

We’re getting ready to make some historical, holiday mayhem with Part I of a dive into the 1984 theatrical adventure GREMLINS!! Allow us to take you back to the origins of those little critters, a time before any rules had been established…

We’re on the first step, Darklings… we’re on the second step… we’re IN YOUR EARS!!! Even if you don’t remember hearing stories by the name of Tailypo OR Big Toe, we think you’ll find some eerie jump scare familiarity in this episode. Take a chance on it and let us know what strikes you. ⛰️

Both The Tailypo and the Big Toe (of Scary Stories to Tell In the Dark) are likely to have haunted your memory, whether you realized it or not, with DOZENS of variants of this southern-gothic-gotcha-story infiltrating millennial bedtime rituals. We can’t wait to dig down and expose the origins of its… less than delicious existence to you, our Darkling friends. We hope you’ll eat it up - tail and all.

This weekend, we’re revisiting the dark corners of your elementary school bookshelf (and a lil creature called the Tailypo). Join us as we uncover the folklore and history surrounding this revenge-filled, centuries old tale…y…po… and how it forged all the way into our millennial memories.

Darkling dears, Episode 87 is out in the world. We hope this discussion of the power, authority, and magic held in words, stories, and minds brings levity and resolve to your weekend and beyond. Here’s to saying what we mean AND considering the consequences. For better or worse. 🔦

The themes in this episode have become even more important than when we recorded it on Monday. Our words can be our greatest assets, our sharpest weapons, or even our deepest regrets. Soon we’ll explore the stories coming true for these three ‘90s teens and wonder… what would we do if we could magically project our ideas directly into the minds of others…or even reality? Oh, wait… we can. ✍🏻

This weekend, we’ll be back in your ears and back to our old Midnight Society antics, covering AYAOTD S2E5, the Tale of the Dream Machine. Stories written on this magic typewriter all come true… and we think that would come in ESPECIALLY handy on a week like this… 📝

What a wild October ride it has been already - and we’ve still got some Pretty Dark globetrotting to do. Samhain, silliness, and sugar skulls await your ears in this 86th Pretty Dark exploration, wherever podcasts are streamed. 💀

Coming at you soon from the graveyard below the graveyard, we’ll wrestle with the delicate intertwining of life and death - and the haunting depth buried in the catacombs of this Cartoon Network holiday staple. 🪦
