Welcome to Season 5, episode 5 of Tag Till We're Dead, the now international anthology horror podcast. You have made it this far. Well done my fellow weirdos.

Anthology is just a posh term for 'every story is completely different, with no common thread.'

That may change though. Keep your ears open...

This podcast is for you if:

* You love horror

* You get bored easily

* You prefer short stories

* Enjoy a variety of dark fiction

Hosted by Karen Cave - all stories written by Karen unless otherwise stated.

Tonight's tale is called DOUBLE FEATURE, taking place during and after the classic double showing of horror at a local, slightly decrepit cinema, on a British town centre street, on a dark rainy night,,,

** TRIGGER WARNINGS - swearing, peril, unsettling imagery **

Written by Karen Cave

Welcome to Season 5, episode 4 of Tag Till We're Dead. (TTWD). Today's story is called The Door Opens at Night. Was initially inspired by one of those random imagined moments sat watching a film at home, and wondering, 'What if..?'

This is a longer story than usual. Hope you enjoy it.

Tonight's tale is called Ghost Story, and was written from instinct and my general weirdness, with no idea where this surreal musing of a spirit was going to end up. I truly hope you enjoy.

Dear friend of the podcast and actress Suzanne Portsmouth narrates. What beautiful menace she brings.

*TW: contains peril and bad words *

* 2025's Horror Film Festival takes place in Stourbridge, UK on 15th November, and still has a few tickets left! *

Tonight's season opening story is THE CLOCK OF JUDGEMENT, written by Jason Benskin. Very few stories make my bones rattle, but this one did. We are very honoured to be able to feature this story.

*TW* This story contains some visceral imagery and violence

A SHORT BIO FOR JASON BENSKIN:

I am Jason Benskin, a master of the macabre, conjuring nightmares from the deepest corners of the human psyche. With a pen dipped in dread, I craft tales where the line between the living and the dead blurs, and every shadow holds a secret. When I’m not scaring readers into sleepless nights, I find peace in the quieter side of life—cooking, reading, and perfecting the art of ghostly storytelling. My work has been described as "terrifyingly immersive," blending the grotesque with the psychological to make every page a chilling journey. If you dare, follow me into the void—but be warned: something is always watching. And it might already be behind you. Yet, sometimes, I question if it's me who is being watched.
