Media I imagine different fiction podcasts in instead of the media of being a podcast.

TMA: A selection of volumes, relating to the fears, each with those removable covers. Those covers has a victim or two, and then underneath the cover is a really detailed cover. The paper is decoratively ripped, with a kind of scraggly font, and each has a foreword and ‘author’s note’ from Jonathan Sims.

Malevolent: A really gritty graphic novel with deadly detail in each panel, and very little color. Maybe a trinket on each important character has a color? Like Arthur’s eyes being yellow or Oscar’s collar having a blue sheen to it. The novels are long, dramatic, and intimate in a visceral way.

Welcome to Night Vale: Local 58 bullshit. A broadcast on television with low quality images and audio, tacky music, and a kind of 80’s aesthetic. Each episode the words WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE zoom onto the screen, the purple eye behind them. And each weather segment is an animated short by a different artist.

The Penumbra(Juno Steel): A webcomic. Hours spent scrolling downward a comic that has so much color and GEOMETRIC design. Juno and his curvy jaw, brown pie slice eyes, a cartoonishly high collar for his investigator jacket. Nureyev and his sharp square jaw, shimmering jewelry, and stick legs. Characters sticking out of the panels, fonts changing constantly, a little blue Juno that does his narration and *guitar theme plays* each time he appears.

Wolf 359: A classic comic. Issues month by month. Different special covers of the characters in extra dramatic poses or scenes. Even MORE panel breaking than Juno Steel. So MUCH onomatopoeia, even for small things like the clink of a panel or the disapproving hiss of Hilbert in the background. Geometric designs like Juno Steel, but less colorful. Like the superhero art style mixed with a more stylized look.

Midnight Burger: You pull up the Midnight Burger website. They have a hidden page that has a sort of script-comic thing going on, where the art is next to the writing. Small coded in notes from Leif sometimes pop up if you hold your arrow over the art. Links are attached to the parts where Effie and Zebulon play music, linking you to the music so you can listen to it while you read.

Desert Skies: An animated show. Indie, something you’d find on YouTube. The animation is bouncy and incorporates 3D animation alongside the 2D. Maybe the Sphere Movers have 3D models and the staff don’t? The credits are short because it was made by one guy. People are complaining about it on Twitter /j. People are making content farms about it. Everyone is pissed at Corson like they’re pissed at Jax.

The Amelia Project: A sort of simulation video game. You play as Arthur. You listen to their stories and draw pieces of the tale to invent their death. Every once in a while the game transitions to a point and click suspense game where you solve puzzles as Cole and Haines. Maybe there should even be an Operation-esque part of it where you work as Kozlowski.

Ghost Wax: A novel with a lot of pictures spliced in it. The stories are all in a single book, though the book is through Luca’s perspective— so he picks up on the ghost’s body language and Voncid’s reactions. The pictures are tarot cards with each victim as a card. Some are repeat cards— Lorem does not have a card at the end of the story. Nor does Our Home or Evening at the Ardent. The pictures are only white with black line art. No color whatsoever.

Kakos Industries: A company newsletter. Not a broadcast. A newspaper that arrives at your door and has big bold letters with the main story and pictures of the events that happen in the story as it goes. And the Sunday Comic page is full of employee shenanigans. Some innocent… some not.

I am losing my mind.

I made this for Malevolent but it applies to many others. Feel free to use.

Have these little podcasts fellows for your travels

[noxcorvorum]

Dreamers, fear the strangers in your midst. Travel is not advised. Alas, it was to none but me, ah, but I call it love. This is Spines. Note to future Nyx. There is a curse upon my every waking breath, and I cannot escape the darkness. A god must feed. A god must be fed. Why are there no stars? I call the only road's end, the last gasp of light's breath. Good night, Night Vale, statement ends.

Hi!

I have been following this blog for a while now and I love using it to find new podcasts. I was wondering, if you have time, what you think is the scariest podcast you've listened to or what your favorite horror podcasts might be? Thank you, and I hope you have a great day :)

I'm so glad to have helped you find new shows!

I don't really get scared by horror podcasts (not sure why. It isn't some "I'm tough" thing, I get startled by the toaster, and it's not like I never feel unsettled or concerned or icked out at podcasts, just not scared) so I'm not sure I can give you a good answer on that one, but I'll gladly give you ten of my personal favourites instead:

Alice Isn't Dead: The podcast that got me into podcasts. A truck driver travels the USA looking for her wife, who until recently, she had thought was dead. Along the way she has all manner of strange encounters, and sees a side to the world that few truely comprehend.

Archive 81: A young archivist takes a job at a remote outpost organising and digitising a collection of tapes. On the tapes is a series of interviews and investigations made by a social worker in the 90s as she becomes familiar with a bizzare apartment building. The archivist, naturally, has an increasingly bad time. Each season is part of the same story, but they're all a bit different.

Ghost Wax: Recorded interviews conducted by the last surviving necromancer, and various people who died under seemingly otherworldly circumstances.

Hello From The Hallowoods: Supernatural and cosmic horror. A powerful and dramatic entity visits your nightmares to relay stories of the people (to varying degrees of both human and alive) who inhabit the beautiful and deadly Hallowoods. What start off as individual stories quickly connect to a larger narrative.

Hi Nay: A supernatural horror following a young woman named Mari, who's babaylan (shaman) family background draws her into helping people with various horrific supernatural problems around Toronto. Formatted as phone calls to her mother telling her what's happened.

I Am In Eskew: Often-horrific stories from a man living in something that very much wishes to be a city, and a private investigator who was, in her words, hired to kill a ghost. Many people seem to agree this one is scary.

Janus Descending: A xenoarcheologist and a xenopaleontologist are sent to investigate and sample the ruins of a long-dead alien city, and discover more than they anticipated. The format for this one is really clever: you hear her audio logs first to last, and his last to first, and the story is all the more heartbreaking for it. I'd recommend listening to the supercut.

The Lost Cat Podcast: A man befriends strange entities, loses bits of himself and drinks an awful lot of wine while looking for his cat. Soft and cosmic horror.

The Moon Crown: The shortest on this list, but also one of the most fascinating. A disgraced scribe living in a city of humans, beasts, and other bizzare entities, begins to recount recent happenings, and actions she has a hard time explaining, on broadcast. But the people she's hoping to reach might not be the ones listening.

The Silt Verses: In a modern world where gods are plentiful, both illicit and commercialised, two disciples of an outlawed river god go on a pilgrimage.

Although, maybe some other listeners can help me out and share what scared them?

Sites of Supernatural Occurrence and Assessment

Making myself a map of various supernatural locations and organizations in the horror podcast I've been listening to. Loose criteria is:

a) Audio drama

b) Supernatural, particularly Eldritch

c) Could conceivably exist in a version of our modern day(ish)

Limited by how many icons I could squish in. Open to suggestions, especially outside of the US and UK!

Right yall, you should totally check out Ghost Wax

It's a horror podcast following the work of a kind necromancer who raises those who had supernatural deaths and allows them to tell their story for themselves and sees their death avenged

Reasons to get into ghost wax now

Coming up on the season 1 finale around Halloween so you're just in time to say you got in on the ground floor

There is already 42 killer episodes out so far

You need something to do with your ears between episodes of [your favorite horror podcast] and this is one of the better things you can do with those ears

It's got awesome voice acting, fantastic writers, queer characters (both in the risen dead and in the overarching cast), horror ranging from slasher flick to exstistential, and the sound design is very good

If you like audio horror this is damn good audio horror

[themostdearofspaghettis]

Shaking the bag with all my podcasts inside waiting to see which one will wake up first like that little girl in finding nemo

[autumn-sketches]

Oh you find podcasts by hearing people talk about them?

I find podcasts by searching for crossovers with my current fav and go from there

We are not the same

[moosha-mushroom]

happy Father’s Day everyone…

*looks at Arthur Lester, Owen Voncid, and Caspar Scott*

😬

[lacquerheadd]

guess who’s obsessed with a new podcast!!

[noxcorvorum]

Why must I be contained by time. Are you telling me I can't do work and also listen to 6 separate podcasts at once. Ack augh why must I choose

[boombox-fuckboy]

Anticipated Q&A:

Q. Where's Doug and Hera (Wolf 359)?

A. We both know that wouldn't be fair. Too powerful.

Q. What about [] and [] (The Magnus Archives)?

A. TMA is too powerful for poll inclusion. Also there's too many potential options without any that stand out, you know?

Q. In previous versions you included Clara and Dan (Archive 81). Why not this one?

A. I wanted to, but after they actually did this with Dan and Melody? Mm.

Q. I think you're missing someone else important!

A. Oh? Tell me who!

Q. I don't know any of these!

A. Pick one and go listen!

Q. But what if I ship them romantically?

A. The purpose of this poll is not to criticize. I am simply an enjoyer of friendship and lists.

I want to make an infographic of the TMA Fears, the A81 Leviathans, and the Ghost Wax Glorious. I bet there's some fun overlap to be had there. The King in Yellow annexed Farbosia, he's at war with The Red King. The Vessel is hiding inside the TMA apocalypse. The Unwelcome Riders are phasing in from The Black Top. The King About to Die finally kicks the bucket in Kane and Feels. Eskew is a Burrough of The City.

Quick name more podcasts with pantheons
