This Halloween, one story will remind you why we never blow out the lantern before dawn…

In tonight’s Better Off Dread original, we bring you Jack’s Lantern — a full-length Halloween horror story told in haunting first-person narration. When a restless young man breaks his town’s oldest Halloween tradition and extinguishes his jack-o-lantern too early, he unleashes something far older and far hungrier than folklore ever warned.

Set on a foggy Halloween night in small-town America, Jack’s Lantern is filled with eerie pumpkins, quiet neighborhoods, and the terrifying figure known only as Jack. As dawn approaches, the bargain becomes clear: blood for fire, life for light.

👻 What to expect in this episode:
A chilling classic Halloween vibe horror story.
Atmospheric small-town setting with glowing jack-o-lanterns.
Creepy folklore brought to life with suspense and dread.
A shocking twist ending perfect for October nights.
If you’re searching for the ultimate Halloween horror story, scary jack-o-lantern tales, or simply want to get into the spirit of Halloween, this is the one to put on while the candles burn low.
