We’ve got all kinds of treats planned for this season and one will keep you entertained all October long.
CREEPY, the ultra-popular horror narration podcast downloaded more than a million times each month, will launch its “31 Days of Horror” series beginning October 1, 2020.
The series will air a new chilling tale each day of the month, culminating in a special episode on Halloween.
Hosted by Jon Grilz, CREEPY, which is part of the Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network, gives voice to urban legends and horror stories primarily posted online, which are known as “creepypastas.” The CREEPY team finds and selects both acclaimed and emerging scary stories posted to Reddit and other horror forums, and brings them to life on the podcast. The majority of episodes are not deemed explicit; those that are include trigger warnings based on the content of the story.
During the “31 Days of Horror” series, each episode features a story ranging from 10-60 minutes in length. The Halloween special on Saturday, October 31, will feature a two-and-a-half-hour long story.
“When the show started I wanted to do something special for my favorite time of year. It’s easily become the most work and most fun I have all year. We start work usually in July just to get everything read on top of our regular story schedule,” said Jon Grilz, the host and creator.
This October will mark the fourth annual “31 Days of Horror” series, which has become a fan favorite each year. Last year’s series amassed 2.5 million listens.
The Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network provides a variety of podcast programming related to the horror genre, including other titles such as SCP Archives, Nightmare on Film Street, The Boo Crew, Horror Queers, Knight Light, The Bloody Disgusting Podcast, and the upcoming psychedelic thriller Margaret’s Garden.
Shows from the Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network are hosted and distributed by the podcast company Acast.
“CREEPY is one of those extraordinary podcasts that truly activates the listener’s imagination, taking us out of our day-to-day lives and into a new world,” said Becky Celestina, who works in content partnerships at Acast. “At a time when the Halloween season will be different from past years, the ‘31 Days of Horror’ series is the perfect way to enjoy scary stories and get into the spooky spirit — whether alone or with friends and family.”
