Horror audio dramas
Horror works best in the dark, and audio is the dark. With nothing on a screen, the creak on the stairs and the breathing in the next room are built in your own head, which is why a good horror audio drama can be scarier than a film.
Every horror series here is told with a voice for every character and full sound design: the rain, the floorboards, the thing that should not be there. Put headphones on for the full effect.

CLOSE ENOUGH TO TOUCHby Getting BetterA twelve-year-old girl hides under her bed with her little brother while someone climbs the stairs. Then her lost phone calls her, and it’s her own voice: “Don’t move. He knows you’re under the bed.” Close Enough to Touch is a collection of horror stories told by the people who survived them. Each one is a full story, told late at night by the fire, with a full cast and sound that puts you in the room. Different people tell each story, and each happened in a different place, but they all share one truth: the monster was never a stranger. It was the neighbor who waved every morning. The friend who held your hand. Someone close enough to touch. Pull up a blanket. Turn off the lights. And listen carefully for the breathing beside you.4.5 out of 5 · 34 plays · Horror · 18 episodes · 2 hr 7 min
