ABOUT TALES FROM THE CREEPERY
A dozen audio dramas conjured out of the imagination of author, Richard Curtis. Everyday places and situations are the backdrops for tense and unpredictable confrontations. A chance encounter between neighbors in their building’s trash room; a routine visit to a yoga class; a friendly chat in the cardiac recovery ward of a hospital – twelve commonplace moments escalate into tension, violence - and even death. Patterned after such classic horror radio programs as Inner Sanctum and The Shadow, every tale from The Creepery promises to wrack your nerves to the breaking point.
