Hello River! May I have some horror podcast recs? 🥺😊 you seem to have great taste
You may!!!!!! Also thank you that's so sweet!!!!!!!
The White Vault
This one is hard to summarize without spoiling the whole thing. But basically, a repair team is sent out to this remote outpost in Svalbard when things go wrong. It's incredibly atmospheric and tense, and is a found footage show. The main show is 5 seasons and finished and they're currently airing a sixth sequel season that I'm digging so far.
Archive 81
This is my favorite horror podcast. It starts off following Dan Powell after he's been hired to digitize an archive of tapes while staying in a remote cabin in the woods. This podcast is absurd and surreal and NASTY. Most horror has some degree of nasty but I will give a heads up that you've gotta be down for body horror to get into this one. I love it so much. It's 3 seasons with a few between season episodes. (Also don't touch the Netflix show its disappointing.)
The Deep Vault
Made by the same people as A81, this is mid apocalypse, our protagonists are seeking refuge in a weird underground vault thing they heard about growing up. This one has a lot of the same themes as A81 turned up to 11 and it is incredible. It's only 1 season and it left a huge impact on me.
Crossing Wires
Also sort of almost post apocalypse and told entirely through radio transmissions. It's really character driven and still coming out! Can't say too much more without spoiling things.
Spines
We follow Wren after she wakes up covered in blood, suffering from memory loss, surrounded by a cult ritual. It's ABSURD and horrific and fascinating. This is another one where saying much more will ruin it but I highly recommend if you like interesting settings and captivating protagonists.
The Six Disappearances of Ella McCray
Ella McCray disappears, and all six witnesses tell wildly different stories about what happens. It's a lighter horror with more emphasis on mystery and intrigue but it's really really good.
Bad Vibes
It's a short anthology series with some truly buck wild episodes. Personal favorite is either bugbugbug or HIT Cardio. Really fun, really fast to get through.
The Left Right Game
The last I'll do for now (if you want more or reviews just hmu). But it's about a journalist doing a story on this titular esoteric game talked about online where people drive and continuously make left then right turns. It's strange and captivating and short. It's also one of the only podcasts with a celebrity actor doing voice acting I like.
