The second-most highly rated story on Creepypasta.com comes under scrutiny from the boys, with the usual care, precision and nonsense you've come to expect. Will this story of an over-protective spirit be a Patch Adams, or a One-Hour Photo?
"Love" is uncredited.
David, Dead Palette and Allen are joined by Midnight Marinara VO alumni and snappy dresser (which is important for a podcast) Ben Paddon for this look into a highly-rated story from Creepypasta.com. Is it all it's cracked up to be, or are people just pretending to like it?

David, Dead Palette and Allen survived the Zombie Apocalypse, but now must face new horrors in this post-outbreak story. Will this story tread new ground, or is it a shambling, moaning mess?

David, Dead Palette and Allen hate NoSleep titles.

The gang takes a break from Creepypasta and horror to brush up on some world history.

A story that lives up to its title in more ways than one, as Dead Palette, Allen and Slimebeast find out the hard way.

Dead Palette, Allen and Slimebeast watch "The Bye Bye Man" for awhile... I think? Hard to say...

The nightmare ends on Halloween...

Is there anything worse than someone who takes Creepypasta too seriously? David and special guest Ben Spiegel are about to find out as they look into a story about the contents of some cassette tapes and the diaries of an Emo kid.

The gang goes hunting for secondhand stories and grab a pair from that swap meet of scary(?) accounts, NoSleep. Both of them have a garage sale in their title, and both are highly rated, but is NoSleep's treasure the Committee's trash?
"I Never Should've Stopped at That Garage Sale" is credited to TheBigSp00k; "I am so Glad you Stopped at my Garage Sale" is credited to Hayong.
The end is in sight, but there's still more inane storytelling for our boys to push through.

Something seems to be wrong with Dead Palette, and David, Allen and Kaela suspect it might have something to do with their return to the SCP Foundation to investigate another collection of unusual and potentially-dangerous materials. What horrors/wonders will they find this time?
All of the entries read can be found on the SCP Foundation website: http://www.scp-wiki.net/

Maybe this whole was a bad idea after all...

Here on UCA, we only ever ask the hard-hitting questions, especially when David, Allen, Eli and Kylie get together to read stories about store psychics and eerie encounters. What are those questions? Listen and find out.
"Not All Psychics Are Frauds" is credited to Jasper DeWitt.
This episode is anything but short as David and Dead Palette hang out with Eli and Kylie, the duo behind Animal Fact Files and Cinema Nippon. Here is another pair of short horror stories: one a Japanese ritual, the other an account of a bug bite gone awry. Do either manage to unsettle, or do they fall into the usual tropes and cliches?
"Bath Game" and "Just a Bug Bite" are both uncredited.
The cast and crew of Midnight Marinara/Undercooked Analysis represent both shows at the Midsummer Scream Halloween Convention. Join them for three short audio dramas and one hilarious cold read...
Featuring David King, Kaela Berry, Dead Palette, Allen Chaney, Matt Holley and Abysmii.
Recorded July 30th, 2017 at the Long Beach Convention Center.
Dead Palette has some thoughts to share as we go into October...
Sometimes you gotta go where everybody knows your memes. What should be a short Patrons Poison read of a ritual pasta goes a bit awry as the boys blow off some steam. If you're not terribly into the banter, this episode might not be for you.
"The Lord of the Scarecrows" is credited to brahesTheorem.
With so many entries submitted to the challenge, the guys decided suddenly it would be good to read two or three honorable mentions to wrap things up.
Like a bad horror movie sequel, Short and Shivery has yet another iteration as David and Dead Palette first inspect a story about a monster, and then imbibe Patron's Poison with a user-written story. Sometimes it's nice to keep things simple.
"The Pocket" is author unknown; "Why Walk-In Freezers Can't Be Opened From The Inside" was written by Sir Alvhem/Andreas Lindgren.
