Night Watchers

Are liminal spaces actually scary… or are they just weird empty rooms? This week, the Night Watchers dive into the Backrooms, poolrooms, endless suburban neighborhoods, creepy places in the Ozarks, bizarre family stories, and the unsettling places that somehow feel comforting instead of terrifying. Then everything completely falls apart. By popular request, the crew brings back the round-table storytelling challenge: one person picks the subject, everyone contributes one sentence at a time, and together they attempt to create an original creepypasta. The subject? Wild hogs. What follows involves Billy Blue, Steve, increasingly desperate rhymes, Tim Allen, Jimmy Fallon, and one of the most catastrophically bad horror stories ever assembled. It was supposed to be scary. It was not. Night Watchers is a comedy-horror podcast featuring paranormal stories, horror discussions, ridiculous hypotheticals, and conversations that probably should have ended several minutes earlier.

Niall has officially entered the film industry—and somehow his first real acting gig involves furiously pretending to pleasure himself, a magical sock coming to life, and an actual professional film crew capturing the whole thing. After interrogating Niall about his promising new career, we tackle one of horror’s strangest genres: liminal horror. Are the Backrooms actually scary? Would discovering impossible extra space inside your house terrify you, or would you simply close the door and never go back? And at what point does an empty, endless space become genuinely horrifying? Along the way, we encounter floating buttholes, House of Leaves, childhood Minecraft, abandoned buildings, impossible architecture, demons, terrible hypotheticals, and several conversations that probably should have remained private.

Things get weird fast on this episode of Night Watchers. The crew begins with strange things they’ve experienced lately—including Noah hearing a bloodcurdling scream somewhere around his house—before Darkness introduces a horrifying question: what would you do if a completely indestructible, disembodied butthole suddenly appeared inside your home? Naturally, this evolves into a full-blown liminal horror scenario involving mysterious voids, cameras, drones, missing animals, questionable business opportunities, and the discovery of what can only be described as the Ass-biss. Eventually, the conversation crawls back toward actual horror as the group looks back on their favorite horror anthologies and childhood nightmares, including Goosebumps, Slappy, The Haunted Mask, The Werewolf of Fever Swamp, Creepshow, Tales from the Crypt, Black Mirror, and Masters of Horror. Then Niall arrives. And somehow things get worse. Urban Dictionary definitions, beaver tails, questionable wellness trends, bodily horror, frozen anatomy, and an exploding crawlspace round out one of the most deranged Night Watchers episodes yet.

This week on Night Watchers, we somehow go from disturbing horror movies to cryptid card games, indie game development, dowsing rods, infected fingers, Frankenstein, Nosferatu, and several conversations that probably should have stayed off-mic. We talk about Incidents Around the House and its creepy “Other Mommy,” debate whether dowsing rods actually work, revisit some questionable horror scenes that permanently scarred us, and discover just how quickly four people can completely lose control of a podcast. There was supposed to be a topic. There is no longer a topic. Welcome to Night Watchers.

What if you could make the person you love finally love you back? In this episode of Night Watchers, we dive into OBSESSION — a horror movie about rejection, desire, a mysterious One Wish Willow, and one wish that turns a hopeless crush into something completely horrifying. We talk about Nikki’s bizarre behavior, the creepy reflection theory, whether the One Wish Willow is actually demonic, the movie’s “be careful what you wish for” message, and whether Bear is a victim, a villain… or somehow both. And naturally, we give ourselves our own One Wish Willows. That goes about as well as you'd expect.

The Night Watchers manage to rescue Niall from the trapper's cabin, but the celebration doesn't last long. As an unnatural force closes in on their location, the group is forced to flee deeper into Cold Hollow, seeking refuge inside an abandoned mine hidden beneath the forest. What they thought was a safe escape quickly becomes something far worse. Trapped underground with nowhere left to run, the team finally comes face to face with the creature responsible for the disappearances throughout Cold Hollow. The Wendigo. Towering over the group, impossibly powerful, and disturbingly intelligent, the beast offers something no one expected… a bargain. Will the Night Watchers survive their first true encounter with the monster stalking Cold Hollow?

The Night Watchers escape the abandoned schoolhouse... only to discover the nightmare is far from over. As the Night Watchers regroups and follow the only lead they have, they venture south into the silent pine forests surrounding Cold Hollow. But something isn't right. Hours pass without making any progress, the forest refuses to change, and time itself seems to lose all meaning. Then one of the team suddenly vanishes. Following the only clue left behind, the survivors stumble across an isolated trapper's cabin hidden deep within the endless woods. Waiting inside is a familiar face... What is Cold Hollow hiding? And will the Night Watchers make it out before the forest claims another victim?

The group splits up to search the dying mountain town, hoping to uncover the truth behind the mysterious creature stalking Cold Hollow. While one team interrogates the last surviving locals and uncovers disturbing clues, the other ventures into an abandoned general store in search of supplies. But the real horror begins when an old schoolhouse catches their attention. Inside, everything appears untouched... until something starts moving above the ceiling. As strange noises echo through the empty classroom and a pale child watches from the darkness overhead, the group realizes they're no longer alone—and whatever is hiding in the school may be far more terrifying than the monster they've been hunting. Will they survive long enough to uncover the truth behind the town's disappearance?

What begins as a straightforward Wendigo hunt quickly spirals into complete chaos involving an abandoned town, a suspicious sheriff, a baby unicorn, questionable decision-making, and one of the strangest investigations we've ever survived.

Separated throughout the depths of Vault 67, the survivors find themselves trapped in a nightmare beneath Tarn Mountain. As tensions rise and the group's fragile alliances begin to crack, strange discoveries lead them deeper into the facility's darkest secrets. Hidden containment chambers reveal terrifying humanoid creatures lurking in cages, while scattered research labs hint at experiments that should never have existed.

The deeper they descend into Vault 67, the less the mountain feels abandoned. After unlocking sealed sections of the underground facility, the group becomes separated within the maze-like corridors beneath Tarn Mountain. Alone in the darkness, each survivor begins uncovering fragments of the vault’s horrific past—bloodstained research rooms, collapsed containment areas, and evidence that the experiments below the summit never truly died.

In this episode, the search for Vault 67 takes a horrifying turn beneath the frozen summit of Tarn Mountain. After discovering nothing but a missing man’s bloodstained shorts in the snow, the group uncovers a hidden hatch buried beneath moss and ice—leading deep underground into a forgotten research facility hidden beneath the mountain itself. Inside, blood trails stain the stairwell, strange locked corridors stretch endlessly into darkness, and the team begins to realize they were never alone down there. As paranoia grows, Claire awakens to the terrifying truth about her missing boyfriend, alliances begin to fracture, and the group descends further into the abandoned bunker. Hidden vents lead to secret research rooms filled with disturbing sketches of humanoid creatures lurking on all fours… and evidence that something may have escaped from inside a sealed containment cabinet. But the worst discovery comes last. Three eggs. WARNING: Explicit content, adult humor, and conversations that will make you question our sanity.
