Australiaa year ago Really rad Canadian horror through a Filipina lens. Tbh that lens makes it feel more Canadian. It's super creative and I love the premise through the phone calls and recordings.
Podcast Addict5a year agotrollmila- Best audio drama ever!!!
Hi Nay helped me realized I love horror and why. This in-depth, spooky story is one part found family, one part Filippino folklore mixed with the horror of the unknown(and rich people), and one part hilarious. It’s a labour of love that will keep you hooked all the way down to the pit!
