We want to begin by saying thank you. The support, encouragement, messages, shares, and kindness we’ve received from this community over the past several weeks have meant more to us than we can properly express.
But we also want to be honest:
Right now, we need your support more than ever before.
Every listener matters. Every follow matters. Every share, subscription, like, comment, stream, and recommendation matters. This moment is pivotal for us, and now is the time for those who care about independent horror to help us build these new platforms and keep this network alive and sustainable moving forward.
If you’ve ever considered subscribing, following, sharing our work, or listening outside of YouTube, this is the moment to do it. These actions genuinely make a difference, and collectively, they help determine what the future of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights looks like.
Since so many of you have been asking what the BEST ways are to support us right now in the wake of YouTube’s monetization issues, we wanted to lay it all out clearly in one place.
🩸 1. Become a Patron
The single BEST way to support us directly is by joining our Patrons Area, where you can access our massive archive completely ad-free, along with exclusives and early access:

🎧 2. Listen to our podcasts OFF YouTube
This is HUGE for us right now.
Please listen to our shows on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favorite podcast app whenever possible instead of YouTube. Every listen now helps support us through our new podcast network, Audioboom.
That includes:
Chilling Tales for Dark Nights
Horror Hill
Drew Blood’s Dark Tales
Scary Stories Told in the Dark
Fear From the Heartland
There are THOUSANDS of episodes across these shows and enormous back catalogs to explore. If you enjoy our content and can spare the platform switch, it helps us tremendously.
📺 3. Follow us on Rumble
All NEW material will now debut on Rumble:
rumble.com/c/c-7891298
We currently have 350 dedicated followers there, but we need as many listeners as possible to migrate over. It’s free, it helps us enormously, and many other horror narrators and creepypasta creators are making the move there as well.
Please follow, like, comment, and watch there if you can.
🕯️ 4. Support THE DARKIVE
Our newest podcast, THE DARKIVE, is designed for listeners who want pure stories without intros, host segments, or interruptions.
We’ll be updating it regularly with brand-new material and stories from our archives.
The show needs 1,000 followers before Spotify can directly monetize it, and we’re about halfway there right now. We need EVERYONE we can get to subscribe/follow.
RSS Feed:
anchor.fm/s/ec187e04/podcast…
Please follow it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or import the RSS feed into your podcast app of choice.
🎸 5. Check out FALLENQUEEN
Craig Groshek’s music project, FALLENQUEEN, may not be horror-related, but every stream helps support CTFDN and the people behind it.
If you enjoy rock music, we’d love for you to check it out. Full album coming in July.
Spotify:
open.spotify.com/album/6Yayl…
YouTube:

We’re also exploring expanded merch, publishing books, additional podcasts, Twitch streaming, and more ways to keep this network sustainable moving forward.
But for now, more than anything else, we simply need your help spreading the word and supporting these new platforms however you can.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for staying with us.
And thank you for helping keep independent horror alive.
