  • AI slop

    The “voice acting” is distractingly bad, even for AI. I can’t even tell if the writing is any good because the dialogue sucks any tension from the horror. Skip this show. 👎

  • Pretty Good.... Except for a Couple Things...

    The thing that really pulls me out of the stories, is the main host/narrator (whom I assume is Chris?).

    He speaks the parts between the dialogue, I guess his parts are to help move the story along, however not only are his parts truly unnecessary, but he says EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE in EXACTLY the same way: the same strange intonation, with some English snobby inflection, or like he's trying to sound sexy.

  • I like the narrator and stories!

    Spooky tales are great for listening to at work but, it’s unfortunate that the “voice actors,” are evidently AI voices. Weird.

  • Too much sound effects

    The stories are worth listening to just with the music and the dulcet tones of Chris. No one ever needs to hear chewing, swallowing or multiple minutes of heavy breathing. Chris, stop spending all of your Patreon money on the AI voices and the sound effects. It’s too much now.
