In this episode of Anthology of Horror, we plunge into some of the darkest chapters of the twentieth century: the atrocities committed by Imperial Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War. From the systematic slaughter and sexual violence of the Nanjing Massacre to the grotesque human experimentation carried out by Unit 731, this is a story of cruelty without parallel.

Told with unflinching honesty but delivered with solemn restraint, the episode paints a vivid historical picture of how Japan’s imperial ambitions turned ordinary men into monsters—and why denial and forgetting are just as dangerous as the crimes themselves.

Listener discretion is strongly advised. This episode contains descriptions of graphic violence, sexual violence, and crimes against humanity.

Episode Summary:

In this immersive deep-dive, Spring Heeled Jack peels back the carefully lacquered layers of Disneyland California to reveal the bloodstained foundation beneath the fantasy. From the early life of Walt Disney to the dark psychological mechanisms that guide your every step in the park, this episode is a narrative descent into the tragedies, conspiracies, forgotten attractions, and lingering spirits that the Mouse would rather you ignore.

You'll hear the gruesome details of confirmed deaths, the real ghost stories whispered by Cast Members, the attractions that were too disturbing to build, and the Orwellian surveillance infrastructure silently watching your every move. All woven together with California-native nostalgia and a cynical eye for the machinery of myth.

It’s not just about theme park history—it’s about how we build dreams atop graves, and what happens when we try to trap magic in a place that can't stop remembering the dead.

Enter the park.
Exit at your own risk.

In this hauntingly emotional episode of Anthology of Horror, guest host Slutty Nicole returns from the void—after nearly a year of silence—to bring you a chilling original tale by long-time friend of the show, Woundlicker. What begins as a simple story of supernatural contact quickly unravels into a raw exploration of intergenerational trauma, family secrets, and the burdens we inherit whether we want them or not.

This isn’t your typical ghost story. It’s something deeper. Stranger. More human.

Produced by Mickie Eberz, Slutty Nicole, and Spring Heeled Jack—despite his best efforts to nap through production.

The episode closes with the atmospheric track “Shadows Ignite” by Empress, the new musical project from Slutty Nicole herself.

Turn off the lights, tune in, and get ready for a story that lingers long after the final word.
