Here’s not one, but two video compilations of purportedly true stories of soldiers encountering unusually large spiders in the course of a mission. The first video feature soldiers from Congo (the previously mentioned J’ba Fofi), New Guinea, Vietnam and Iraq. The second features more Vietnam stories, and another New Guinea story.

Halloween Horrors: Tourist Attractions They Shut Down Because Visitors Kept Vanishing
Just what it says: Places people went into but never came out. Three are in the U.S., one of which, Jacob’s Well, is in Texas. Some of these (like the Paris Catacombs) are well known, but others are fairly obscure. None sound like enticing vacation destinations…
Halloween Horrors: Local58TV
Kris Straub, the creator of Candle Cove, has a series of creepy mock, late-night found horror UHF TV segments edited together from public domain footage. Here’s one for a weather alert: Here’s an infomercial on “Real Sleep”: Here’s one from earlier this year that asks what AI would look like in the 64K era.

Halloween Horrors: “Go be a ghost somewhere else!”
This is less “Halloween horror” that “Halloween comedy,” namely Dog 1, Creepy Japanese Ghost 0: Get the hell out of my neighborhood! Go be a ghost somewhere else! https://t.co/tg4o4BQKSR — The Figen (@TheFigen_) May 14, 2026
Halloween Horrors: Monsters on Maneuver
The Halloween Season is upon us again. I’m not particularly a fan of the “thinly animated scary story,” but this one stands out quite a bit, as the military details are what make the entire thing more plausible. These feature “pale crawlers.” The first story doesn’t do much for me, but the second, featuring a… Continue reading Halloween Horrors: Monsters on Maneuver
Halloween Horrors: Making Fiends Halloween
Once upon a time, there was a great little web series called Making Fiends that turned into a swell TV series. Both versions told about the dynamic between Vendetta, an evil little girl that makes fiends, and Charlotte, who thinks Vendetta is her best friend despite the latter loathing her. Here’s a video of the… Continue reading Halloween Horrors: Making Fiends Halloween
Halloween Horrors: The Most Cursed Videos on the Internet
Daily Dose of Internet does video compilations, and here are some of the most cursed. These are less straight horror than just weird, unsettling and creepy. Come for the electric guacamole, stay for the airport flooding with green slime. (You know, Electric Guacamole would be a good name for a rock band…)
Halloween Horrors: Joe Rogan Interviews A. J. Gentile
For those unfamiliar with A. J. Gentile, he’s the guy behind The Why Files, where he and sidekick Hecklefish examine various paranormal subjects, spooky stories, legends, fringe science theories, etc. A bunch of stuff that could have been covered by Art Bell or Fortean Times. I used him as fodder for previous Halloween posts here… Continue reading Halloween Horrors: Joe Rogan Interviews A. J. Gentile

People find all sorts of interesting things in Google Earth, some of which are more unsettling than others. These include: A glitch that made everything in New Baltimore, New York look weird, distorted and ghostly. A car that showed up submerged in a suburban Florida retention. Turned out there was dead guy in it that… Continue reading Halloween Horrors: Google Earth Mysteries
Halloween Horrors: The Five Levels of Dreams
This video about the five levels of dreams shouldn’t be horror…except it is. Between the loud, jarring section starts to the disturbing visuals to the eerie use of liminal spaces, the video seems designed more to induce nightmares than explain them. Some of this jibes what what I experience when dreaming, and some of it… Continue reading Halloween Horrors: The Five Levels of Dreams
