Fall is here, and Jellysmack’s creator partners are bringing all of the fall vibes and autumn inspiration you need for spooky season. From true crime stories to cozy recipes, we’ve rounded up the fall content you need to binge, no matter where you are in the world.
True Crime Fix
There’s a reason true crime is so popular year round—the eerie and inexplicable always catch an audience’s attention. What better way to get in the spooky mood than checking out real-life unsolved stories?
Creator MrBallen has been delivering “strange, dark and mysterious” stories on his YouTube channel since joining in 2015, and with help from Jellysmack, fans can now find him on Facebook and Snapchat. He also shares ghost and true crime stories on the MrBallen Podcast wherever you get your audio content.
If you’re looking for some creepy tales like a ghost attack caught on camera, a real-life case of missing lighthouse keepers, or a chilling haunted house, MrBallen is your guy.
For Halloween specific content, be sure to binge MrBallen’s Halloween Scare-a-thon.
True crime storyteller Christina Randall delivers coverage with the perspective and insight of her prior incarceration. She covers dozens of true crime cases on her channel and also shares her life experiences through storytimes.
Christina is not afraid to get into the gruesome details of some horrifying tales throughout history like The Female Cannibal of Italy, the demonically possessed, and the real-life boogeyman.
Get Glam with Ghouls and Goblins
Beauty content not only gets consumers interested in trying new products, but tutorials, roundups and reviews inspire audiences to get creative and think outside the box. Halloween is the perfect time to color outside of the lines and try out a new look before the spookiest day of the year arrives.
If you aren’t already following creator Bailey Sarian who tells true crime stories while applying flawless makeup, there’s no better time. Not only is she a master storyteller and artist, she was also recently named to Forbes’ inaugural Top 50 Creators list.

Beauty creator Patrick Starrr knows how to serve epic face, whether he’s doing an everyday look using his makeup brand, One/Size, or transforming into a character with special effects makeup. His humor and stunning reveals are a lighthearted, entertaining way to spend a fall afternoon.
