About this episode

Happy Halloween! We thought we’d drop you a special treat to get your day started. 


FLICKER is a story of what happens when you idolize someone a little too much. And you believe what you see on the screen is real.

Just don’t stop moving and never ever let the candle burn out.


Written and narrated by Jed Shepherd with Something Scary podcast co-host Blair Bathory.

Shepherd is the creator of "the scariest movie of the decade", HOST, which he wrote and executive produced.
