In the late summer of 2019, those who had been searching for the ideal combination of horror and comedy were presented with a true gift in the form of Scary Stories to Tell on the Pod. Hosted by Anna Drezen, comedian and head writer for Saturday Night Live, and Andrew Farmer, comedian and TV writer, the podcast pays tribute to Alvin Schwartz and Stephen Gammell's classic series of books, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. As chatty as it is spooky, the podcast offers a perfect and rare remote hangout, drawing in a delightfully niche audience of friendly malcontents who can count laughing AND screaming amongst their core interests.

New episodes of the podcast go up every Monday and Wednesday, with hosts Drezen and Farmer alternating between hilariously impassioned re-tellings of classic tales from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and "Urban Legisode" episodes, which tackle horrifying and ponderous things like questionable ghost children on movie sets, and angry ghouls looking to cuss at you and scratch your eyes out at the same time.

If you're new to Scary Stories to Tell on the Pod, there's really no wrong way to dive in and begin what will surely be a long-term relationship with the podcast, but we'd also like to make sure you pay special attention to the following thirteen episodes, which we consider to be the best of the best.
