Tonight, Anthology of Horror resurrects one of America’s most enduring ghost stories — The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Originally written by Washington Irving, this timeless tale of superstition, ambition, and fear has been adapted and rewritten by Spring Heeled Jack for modern audiences.

Set in the mist-shrouded valley of Sleepy Hollow, the story follows Ichabod Crane, an ambitious schoolmaster whose vanity and greed draw him into the heart of the Hollow’s oldest legend — the haunting of the Headless Horseman. Through fear and folly, Ichabod learns that some ghosts are born not from the grave, but from the darkness of the human heart.

Like the legend itself, this episode bridges the old and the new — weaving classical horror with modern sound design and original scoring to create an immersive, cinematic experience.

Credits:

• Original Story: Washington Irving
• Adaptation & Rewrite: Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)
• Produced by: Mickie Eberz
• Partial Score by: Scott Wilson
• Music by: Empress
• Closing Songs: both traditional folk songs reimagined and revived for a modern age, much like the story of Sleepy Hollow itself.

Tonight marks the end of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special — thirty-one consecutive nights of darkness, madness, and beautifully unhinged storytelling. For the grand finale, host Spring Heeled Jack closes the season by turning the mic over to the listeners themselves. The night’s stories come straight from the audience: true confessions, eerie encounters, cursed objects, and the strange, sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying things people swear have happened to them after midnight. Some are believable, some aren’t — but all of them are haunted in their own way.

Scoring the night’s chaos is Empress, whose music has defined the tone of the entire Halloween run.

Their songs tonight, in order of appearance, are:

Stains on the Wall

Fracture

Monster

All of the Girls

You Were Gone,

Everybody Wants Me Except the Man I Want

Down on You

The Devil Made Me Do It

This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

I Fucked the Devil Once

The Pines

Wayfaring Stranger.

On Night 30 of the Anthology of Horror Halloween Special, we exhume something ancient, something sealed away for a reason. Written by Tenac, “The Black Sarcophagus” drags listeners into the world of cursed relics, buried secrets, and the arrogance of those who disturb the dead. Inspired by the pulpy charm of old adventure-horror tales and the timeless dread of what lies beneath the sand, this story reminds us that some doors were never meant to be opened.

Thirty nights deep into the Halloween special, the line between fascination and fear grows thinner than ever—and what’s found inside The Black Sarcophagus may be better left forgotten.

Credits:

• Story: “The Black Sarcophagus” by Tenac
• Narration: Spring Heeled Jack (Anthony Landis)
• Produced by: Mickie Eberz
• Music by: Empress
• Closing Song: “Wayfaring Stranger” (Traditional, performed by Empress)
