By popular request, the previously published 10-part story of Ted the Caver has been combined into one, epic story. One of the all-time classic creepypastas.
The darkness comes every night. We move in it. We work in it. We live in it. Some of us even feel safe in it. But what happens when you invite something into the darkness? For the thrill? The curiosity? Or something else?
We’re all looking for something. Sometimes that something, is a someone. If you are lucky, all the pieces will fall into place, just as you always wanted. But keeping it that way…well, that’s a different matter completely.
Everyone has secrets. Everyone has something they aren’t supposed to tell anyone…can’t tell anyone. What would you do to make that secret go away? To unburden yourself? Would you go to The Greywater?
Where were you when you first heard it? Do you still hear it? Do you want to hear it? The song gets inside and doesn’t let go. What secrets does it hold?
What kind of a person are you? Do you even know? Are you willing to find out? If confronted with yourself, can you handle the truth? If so, all you need to do is play…
1996 was a good year for a lot of people. As the Pokémon craze swept the world, people found a new obsession with Pokémon Red and Green. But obsession for some was a nightmare for others. Others who heeded the call to “come follow me…”

CREEPY is created and narrated by Jon Grilz. Sound design by Steve Blizin. Jon Grilz is a writer and podcaster living in Minnesota. His love of horror and creepypastas led to a simple question, “Where are all the creepypasta podcasts?” Having started his horror podcasting with Small Town Horror, delving into the world of some of the best scary stories felt like a natural transition. He can often be found quietly muttering to himself. These words, rarely heard, are best left unknown.

It’s been a busy month on Murder Made Fiction podcast. In addition to introducing a new co-host (Perfectly Good Moment‘s Amanda Jane Stern), we spent Pride Month tackling a wide variety of Leopold and Loeb fictional adaptations.
In 1924 Chicago, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb plotted to commit the perfect murder when they abducted and killed 14-year-old Bobby Franks. As Amanda outlines in her primer on the case, the men were caught almost immediately and the media circus that followed was billed “the trial of the century”.
Listen to Leopold and Loeb mini primer.
The fallout has reverberated throughout the last century as countless books, plays, musicals, and films have drawn on the case for inspiration. Some are more faithful than others, such as Richard Fleischer‘s 1959 drama Compulsion, which stars a young Dean Stockwell as Leopold and Orson Welles as the boys’ lawyer, John Darrow (named Jonathan Wilk in the film).
Listen to Leopold and Loeb: Compulsion (1959).
Then there are the texts that use the idea of queer-coded killers as a jumping off point, but confuse (or flat-out disregard) the details of the real life case in favour of jumbled fiction. That’s what happens in Barbet Schroeder‘s Murder by Numbers, which awkwardly introduces a tortured backstory for lead actress (and executive producer) Sandra Bullock. The result is an uneven film that misunderstands which of its two competing storylines are actually interesting (hint: it’s the Leopold and Loeb stuff with Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt).
Listen to Leopold and Loeb: Murder by Numbers (2002).
We ended up discussing other (often more successful) titles on Patreon, including 1992’s Swoon (a New Queer Cinema art-house take on the crime), Michael Haneke‘s 2007 Funny Games remake, and gay screenwriter Kevin Williamson‘s Scream, which proved to be a much more reverent and sly interpretation of L&L than we anticipated.
We wrapped up the month with a final summary episode about our favorite adaptations before chatting with author and archivist Erik Rebain, who literally wrote the book on Leopold (Arrested Adolescence) and maintains one of the foremost websites on the crime.

Next month: For July, we’re turning our attention to the Boston Strangler, with a look at films from 1964 and 1968, as well as the most contemporary version from 2023, starring Kiera Knightley and Carrie Coon.
