Weekly Spooky - Scary Stories! is a podcast for people who love a hair-raising tale. The creator and host of the show is Henrique Couto. He is an independent film director and producer who likes a brassy, scream queen aesthetic.

For Weekly Spooky, Couto reads scary stories to his listeners. A werewolf stalks its prey through the woods. Prom night turns into a nightmare when students start disappearing. Unsuspecting visitors fall victim to an ancient curse. A man starts a new job as a night guard at a wind farm under strange circumstances. When a woman sees a young girl standing in the snow, she can't tell if she's real.

Couto also likes to read Edgar Allen Poe stories on the podcast. There are classics like "The Fall of the House of Usher” and "The Raven." Couto introduces listeners to lesser-known poems like "Morella," "The Oval Portrait," and "The Conquerer Worm."

True crime fans may enjoy the "Terrifying & True" podcast episodes, which recount real-life events. A Japanese exchange student loses his life because of a cultural misunderstanding. A teenager in a well-to-do neighborhood gets murdered, and the killer is still at large. A harmless prank goes wrong, resulting in someone's death. These stories focus on the more salacious aspects of the events.

During October, the podcast goes daily for Weekly Spooky - Scary Stories for Halloween! The tales are a mix of Halloween-themed horror and reader submissions. In December, the podcast becomes Weekly Spooky - Scary Christmas Stories!

Listeners might also appreciate the "Monthly Spooky" podcast episodes. These are extra long and contain more than one story. At about three hours long, there's plenty to keep one creeped out. Sometimes, Couto reviews scary books and movies. As an expert in the field, he is a great resource for people who want ideas.

Weekly Spooky - Scary Stories! may be an excellent choice for listeners who delight in frightful things. Lovers of Halloween will also find plenty of material on the podcast. It's a great show to create a ghoulish ambiance.
