Mad Ghoul Radio

Episode 3 – The Witching Hour Welcome… to Mad Ghoul Macabre. Here, the night has no mercy. Here, the shadows breathe. Salem, 1692—a town devoured by hysteria, where whispers killed and witches were born. For me, witches come second only to zombies in the hierarchy of horror obsessions, and this episode is proof of that. From Puritan paranoia to European nightmares, folk horror to modern dread, we’...

Goodbye to the Prince of Darkness: A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne This episode wasn’t planned. It wasn’t polished. I put this together late Tuesday night, just hours after the news broke that Ozzy Osbourne—the one and only Prince of Darkness—was gone.
