@oldgodspod featured an old story I remembered from my childhood: Tailypo. A ghost story that had me paranoid as a child, especially when I heard scratching outside the house. Mom and dad always had to reassure me it was raccoons.

New animatic project, adapted from episode 37 of Old Gods of Appalachia. I am a fan and am not affiliated with the podcast or its producers. Podcast written by Steve Shell and Cam Collins. Narrated by Steve Shell
finally finished this little drawing i’ve been working on (read: it took me 7hrs. it was not “little”)
wanted to note down here (wasn’t too sure if my inspo was major enough to include but thought i’d mention) that i took inspo from a 2020 drawing by @/salamispots with dialogue from @/oldgodspod (both on twitter)! mainly took inspo from the comic layout and dialogue but still thought i’d mention :)
Old Gods of Appalachia doodles. Pretty Polly Barrow, Daughter Dooley, Delia Hubbard, Cowboy Absher and Melvin Blevins Got into @oldgodspod by my partner's recommendation. 10/10 best for spooky season
If you ever do a live show it will be just you standing on a stage alone switching between different hats wile talking to yourself and I am not even going to lie I absolutely want to witness that. I would pay to witness that.
I’d love to do it. One day maybe. Maybe I can open for my friend at @oldgodspod
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? (Perfect for listening to audio dramas) 🌹💌

I've been an avid fan of @oldgodspod and @thetownwhispers for years now. They are amazing stories of folk and cosmic horror with vibrant characters, fantastic story weaving, and a palpable sense of place.
Being set in Appalachia and Cascadia respectively, there's a pretty wide geographical hole between them. La Frontera. The Border. Nepantla. The Southwest. My home. There are terrifying things out here, horrifying things that nothing to do with Chupacabras (even though I love them), Skinwalkers, and Roswell (in fact the town of Vaughn should hold the alien title). We have old, old, old ghosts, we have vast stretches of nothing but darkness, we have ghosts towns by the truck load, we have pirates, we have Urraca, we have Highway 666.
I've been trying to write horror stories set in the Southwest for years now and often struggled with how to tell these tales and give them the right medium. It struck me just yesterday, listening to the two aforementioned audio dramas, that I might have better success shifting these stories into scripts for an audio drama of my own.
Who knew? Time to get editing I suppose, southwestern folk and gothic horror aren't going to write themselves
