Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 1.2k ratings
  • This horror anthology thinks of unique ways of telling horror stories. It avoids predictable horror tropes in favor of surprising plots. The listener is spared the tired stories about sexy teenagers being stalked by serial killers, and there is no torture. The adult content is not to my tastes, but at least it is always consensual!

  • Late to the party

    I just stumbled across Ominous Thrill last week (yeah, way late to it) and have been binge listening ever since. Great production and great that they are longer format anthology episodes, much better than the 7-15 minute long episodes normal anthology podcasts. Can’t wait for more!
