Intruder in the Night: A Babysitter’s Nightmare | Halloween Horror Story
Episode 417
Published 6 days, 18 hours ago
Description
A masked intruder armed with poison gas stalks a teenage babysitter and two young boys in this 1944 home invasion horror story from David O’Hanlon—an eerie Halloween-season nightmare built on wartime paranoia, chemical terror, and the fear of someone already inside the house.
Fourteen-year-old Candice Cardona thinks the strange smell, the open window, and the muddy boot prints can all be explained away. Then one of the children is found unconscious, a chemical sprayer hisses in the dark, and a masked figure in a steel helmet steps out of the shadows. What happened that night will become part of the buried legend of the Mad Gasser of Couto Basin.
Blending historical horror, home invasion suspense, masked-intruder dread, and a poison-gas nightmare, Intruder in the Night is a tense scary story for listeners building their Halloween horror queue.
