It’s no secret that October is our favorite month of the year here at Bloody Disgusting. Not surprisingly, it’s also our busiest time, and that seasonal chaos has certainly extended to the Bloody Disgusting Podcast Network. Below, you can catch up on what we’ve been creating!
Acast Audio Fiction Week
Over 80 years ago, Orson Welles stirred panic across the United States with The War of the Worlds! Since then, October 30th has become known as World Audio Drama Day. To celebrate all the awesome fiction podcasts in the world, Acast has put together their own “Audio Fiction Week”!
In the lead up to the 30th, Acast has been publishing daily content from popular fiction podcasters that cover a variety of topics, from fiction recommendations to strategies for podcast growth! To cap it all off on October 30th, Bloody Disgusting’s own Creepy and SCP Archives are releasing special episodes!
Creepy and The Hotel have teamed up to create We Found The Hotel, a gripping hour-long story about four Colorado teens who stumble upon an abandoned hotel hidden within the mountains. But once inside, they realize that despite the dust and cobwebs, this hotel is occupied…
SCP Archives and Scare You To Sleep are commemorating World Audio Drama Day with SCP-6439: “October 32”. Every year, as the clock clicks down on Halloween, the dead rise from their graves and demons prowl the streets. Fortunately, DJ Abby (Shelby Scott) is here with you from Midnight To Morning to take you through to the end of the world!
Patreon’s Trick or True Crime
Horror Queers has teamed up with Patreon for Trick or True Crime! Today through Halloween weekend, folks are encouraged to head to TrickorTrueCrime.com and “knock” on up to five doors per day! Patreon has picked 16 creators, and behind each door you might get one of their treats — or a trick! Treats include bonus content from Last Podcast On The Left, Horror Queers, Generation Why, and many more!
Creepy’s 31 Days of Horror
It’s become a tradition: Every October, Creepy drops daily episodes full of terrifying tales! But this October, the team behind Creepy has outdone themselves! Each of this month’s episodes has two thrilling, chilling, or otherwise haunting stories!
The Losers’ Club Presents “Castle Rock Season 3, Episode 1”
Of course, no Halloween would be complete without the Master of Horror himself: Stephen King. The Losers’ Club, our own weekly King podcast, has written, produced, and starred in their own gripping audio drama/parody that’s chock full of all your favorite heroes and villains in King’s Dominion.
One night as the Losers were asleep in the clubhouse they share in Derry, Maine, a mysterious knock came at the door. Upon opening it, they discovered not a person, but a bundle of decaying, handwritten pages. After transcribing them by candlelight, the Losers realized they were reading the teleplay for the lost first episode of Season 3 of Hulu’s Castle Rock.
So, your humble hosts have sought to bring the script to life in the best way they know how: By turning it into a podcast with no affiliation whatsoever to Hulu or the creators. It’s a story as engrossing as it is asinine and littered with more Easter eggs than you can count on, well, 19 hands.
