  • Horror Hill

    Fairly recently came across this podcast of horror stories. The best way I can sum it up briefly, is to say the podcast varies greatly from one episode to another. This may be due to different writers on each episode? Whatever be the case, you can find one story to be outstanding, then the very next one can feel like having a root canal just to get through it! For example, I just listened to one episode, that felt like I was listening to a freshmans attempt to impress their teacher, while writi... more

  • Why AI art???

    The stories are generally good, the whole production too. And I really like the narrator. But honestly, the ugly AI arts for every episode are SUCH a turnoff and make it feel cheap and a sellout of all artists. I'd much prefer no art at all. Would be an easy 5 stars otherwise.

  • Tied for my favorite podcast

    Eric Peabody is an excellent narrator and picks the highest quality stories to read. I quickly consumed all of Horror Hill because of that. I listen to all of the Chilling Tales for Dark Nights shows and agree fully with the reviewer who said this is the best of that bunch. The crossover shows where he narrates stories from the Knifepoint Horror’s Soren Narnia (other favorite podcast) are among my favorite. So eerie in the absolute best ways!

  • Consistently Great

    This is far and away the best of the podcasts in the Chilling Tales for Dark Nights family. Excellent scripts consistently performed well. I would prefer full and varied casts but not at the expense of quality. 6 stars if allowed!

    Peabody Rules.

    Now listen. Please. I need more classic tales bro. I have worn your current catalog of lovecraft and the like down to a sore nub. I replay them over and over. Hounds and Doorstep being two standouts but I can’t get enough. I do listen to horrorbabble on the regular too but I prefer the sound you give these tales that bring them to life. Your pickmans model read on YT was very very good.

    Update:

    The Salem horror! Are you kidding me?!? You are too freaking awesome man!!!
