S18 Ep23: S18E23 - "Experiments with Teeth" – Scary Stories Told in the Dark

About this episode

This episode explores the dangerous boundary between affection and obsession through a chilling tale of experimentation.

Curiosity has always been humanity’s sharpest tool. And its most dangerous. In this chilling installment of Scary Stories Told in the Dark, host Malcolm Blackwood invites listeners to explore the fragile boundary between affection and obsession… between improvement and interference. What begins as admiration for something small and familiar gradually becomes something far more unsettling—an experiment not born of cruelty, but of conviction. Tonight’s tale examines the quiet confidence of a mind certain it knows better than nature. It asks what happens when science moves faster than wisdom, when devotion clouds judgment, and when progress begins to reshape what was never meant to be redesigned.
