When I’m not spending my time listening to music and whatever audiobook I’m listening to at the moment, I’m listening to podcasts. You see, I’m always listening to something. Even though I love podcasts, I didn’t think I could fit them into any type of theme for Spooktober, well I was wrong. Podcasts can totally be creepy and scary, you just have to find the right podcast. Luckily, I already did that part for you. So, if you like podcasts and want to be creep out I recommend these following podcasts (links are included). I have listened to them all for myself and they are as scary as you would want your podcasts to be.

It covers a fictional event, 10 years in the past, in which hundreds of people disappeared from a gated community in Tennessee without a trace. Its fictional host, Lia Haddock whose uncle who vanished in the event. Limetown also have a prequel book by the same name and now a Facebook TV show (also of the same name) starring Jessica Biel in the leading role and Stanley Tucci.

Video Palace

On March 20th, 2014, Ella McCray disappeared. There were six witnesses to her disappearance. All with their own version of the events. Six conflicting accounts of what happened to her. The police ask the six witnesses to carry around tape recorders as they try to find the missing woman. To find out who is lying, who is telling the truth, and to find out what really happened to Ella?

Bonus: Dead Meat Podcast

Okay, the Dead Meat podcast isn’t necessarily scary that’s why this is just a bonus, but it is a great podcast nevertheless. It’s a extension of the YouTube channel Dead Meat (which I also recommend), hosted by James A. Janisse and Chelsea Rebecca taking about all things horror. The podcast features movie reviews, film history, interviews, and more. If you love the horror genre, then this is a must listen to podcast.
