Where is the real Leeds? How does one get there? Is it floating on the air—words and music you can almost reach out and grab like wriggling worms of sound and ether? Is it in the carnival that seethes under the corrupted church, drawing the lost along shadowy corridors and through the strangely angled Funhouse doors to the place where the city fathers perform secret rites with the goat-headed masters of the dark? Do you seek the Real Leeds? Venture out to a secluded spot, turn on your radio, and spin that dial down to the murky low numbers, somewhere just around 87.9... That music, that voice calling on the edge of static and distortion—it might lead you to that blasted and damned path toward the Real and Truest heart of Leeds, Massachusetts. This is WXXT. It's the witching hour, when shadows take wing and nightmares stalk. Turn your radio up. Point your antennas to the infinite sky. And stay tuned for Weather on the Sixes. WXXT. The bubbling blisters on the tongue of the Pioneer Valley.

A frontier town in peril!
The savagery of the hungry damned!
An unholy trio their only salvation!
Southeastern Oklahoma of the 1860s:
Little Dixie to some. Hell to others...
 In the chaotic years following the end of the Civil War, Little Dixie is a brutal no-man's land where life and death are dictated not just by gangs of lawless thugs, but by far more sinister things as well. Shadowy beings that walk the line in the dirt separating Jesus from the Devil, writing their names in blood, terror, and human suffering.
Such is the woeful condition of Coffin Mills, a town cursed by a history of dark arts and shameful secrets. Something wicked has been stealing the town's children, something not of this world, or even the next.
Salvation arrives in the form of a trio of mysterious gunslingers known throughout the South as the Haints, a legendary band of bounty hunters specializing in tracking prey of a supernatural variety. They kill monsters, plain and simple.
Haunted by a violent past that will either deliver or destroy them, will they emancipate Coffin Mills from its otherworldly predator, or will all be lost to something far worse than even eternal damnation?

Behold the Undead of Dracula: Lurid Tales of Cinematic Gothic Horror

Kiste, Gwendolyn

On one fateful Halloween night, a television station near Denver, Colorado aired an adaptation of the infamous Gothic horror novel The Crypt of Blood. The spirited local theater troupe production of the classic vampire story quickly spiraled into high-strange weirdness, ghostly madness, and the disappearance of its cast and crew.What transpired on-stage and on-screen that night has become an urban legend, a myth relegated to internet forums, speculation among eccentric horror film collectors, and the ravings of the mad and paranoid. Some call it a publicity stunt by local filmmakers. Others decry it as a hoax. A few say the broadcast never aired at all.Those who have actually seen the special, however, insist it reveals something far more terrifying than any horror movie.You find yourself in possession of a copy of that dreaded broadcast, its cursed images seared into the tape of a well-worn VHS cassette. It's time to discover for yourself if this found-footage nightmare is as terrifying as its reputation, and if The Crypt of Blood: A Halloween TV Special is proof of a haunting-or something far worse-after all.
