A radio host's final broadcast becomes a terrifying descent into madness as reality begins to unravel around him.
About This Story
WXYZ 103.7 FM was Marcus Grimm's life. For fifteen years, he'd been the voice that guided night shift workers, insomniacs, and lost souls through the darkest hours. His late-night talk show, "Midnight Confessions," was a beacon for those who felt alone in the world.
But on the night of October 31st, 2023, something went terribly wrong. What started as a routine Halloween special quickly devolved into something far more sinister. Callers began reporting strange phenomena, and Marcus himself started experiencing unexplainable events in the supposedly empty radio station.
As the night progressed, the line between reality and nightmare began to blur. Were the callers real, or were they something else entirely? And why did Marcus feel like he was being watched by unseen eyes in the darkness beyond his booth?
This psychological horror masterpiece captures the claustrophobic terror of being trapped alone with only voices in the dark for company. Experience the final broadcast that no one was meant to hear.

It's 11 PM on Halloween night, and we've got a special show planned for you tonight. The phone lines are open for your midnight confessions, your ghost stories, your darkest secrets...

MARCUS: I can hear you, but you're coming through a bit fuzzy. Can you speak up? CALLER 1: (clearer now, but with an odd echo) I've been trying to reach you for so long... MARCUS: Well, you've reached me now. What's your midnight confession? CALLER 1: I'm calling from inside the station, Marcus. Turn around. [SOUND: Dead air, then Marcus's sharp intake of breath] MARCUS: (nervous laugh) Very funny. Nice Halloween prank, but I'm alone here tonight. Security cleared the building an hour ago...
