    Awesome podcast

    I binged the first season of this show on a train ride. And then I seriously considered staying on the train to listen to the episodes of the 2nd season because I didn't want it to end! Such an excellent anthology, with top-notch voice actors, very detailed sound design, and solid writing all combine to make this a must-listen for fans of horror!

    I don’t know what’s going on with this podcast. It was great when it started. I’ve listened from the start. It seems that the ‘line in sand’ keeps being pushed out with each new season. Is this a shock value increases downloads thing? Unfortunately for me, the Lilith season goes too far. It was very spicy and graphic. I don’t want to actually hear b j s and sa. There are tasteful ways to portray this. It was gross and uncomfortable. I really was excited for that storyline too. Finally unsubscribing. Too uncomfortable and don’t want coworkers and family to stumble on it.

    I see what they are trying to do but…
    While I do love a strong representation of women in thrillers, often the women in this pod come off as over the top. If it were men I would be saying the same- the writing often has me saying out loud “oh, COME ON” way too much. I also can’t stand the sound of people kissing- it gives me the ick. Generally, SOME of these are great- but it is hit or miss. I have listened to every one with the hope that it won’t be campy pulp fiction…

    Way too woke.
    Just another horror podcast pushing its political agenda. It’s a shame. I was really excited to listen.
  • Micronautarctus
    One of the best
    I’ve been listening to podcasts and audiobooks for years.This is honestly one of the best!Great stories and great production!An absolute must listen
  • EvilGuy666
    Excellent stories and production
    I stumbled upon this podcast. I love the spooky story podcasts and have been having trouble getting into one. I am a big fan of Dr. NoSleep and the NoSleep podcast, but this one has riveting stories with an interesting immersive sound. I would highly recommend!

    Refreshing take on Horror
    I’ve been looking for another amazing horror podcast for years (I’ve been listening to a more well known one but honestly the stories haven’t been as good for years now), and I stumbled on Ominous Thrill. I wasn’t expecting much but I really enjoyed each episode. Sound effects and voice actors are top notch and theres a bit of a ‘stick it to ‘em’ revenge vibe for the bad people and I’m super vindictive so it makes me happy lol. Definitely an awesome podcast with great stories!
  • FreeGraceSanctified
    Great self contained stories
    Blood curdling? No. Decent tales? Yes. The story telling and audio designs are fantastic. And I love that the stories are self contained. A long series can be enjoyable, but sometimes you just want a brief but good story … and these guys deliver!
  • 💔from head to🩷
    Couldn’t stop listening…
    This podcast was so awesome 🤩; I could not stop listening . BTW, you should really make more (Advice After Dark) episodes.

  • Bibbitybopittyboo
    LOVE IT!
    I really like this podcast a lot!! It’s one of my favourites so far the stories are really good and I love the voice acting! My only complaint that I’d have is the make out/explicit scenes are sometimes a little cringe but other than that I really enjoy everything about the podcast!

    Heart pounding. Jaw dropping. Totally Twisted Terror, at its Finest! Bravo 👏
  • redport.
    Hooked.
    Love this podcast but I like following the transcripts and sometimes paragraphs are missing. I can’t always understand some words. No big deal and well worth it.
  • Xen0cide
    Extremely well done
    These are great stories and great production. I’ve been listening for hours today.
  • cmurr26

  • PrincessPeach90
    I need a cigarette 🚬😂
    I was starving for a thriller, dark, drama type podcast and this exceeded expectations 😱😱. Keep up the amazing work!!!!
  • Lazytitan420
    Absolute garbage
    Filthy, disgusting and full of left wing tropes. You all need Jesus! Wether you believe in him or not. One day you will stand before him and answer for every form of blasphemy.
  • Hdhshshsis
    So well done!
    So well done!
  • LoBo36
    Simply the best!
    The best adult, horror pod on the inter-webs! Can’t get enough!
  • Jessi Xiong
    The best horror anthology podcast
    The stories are unique, the writing flows naturally, and the voice acting and sound editing is top tier. The care put into every aspect of this podcast is so apparent. I look forward to every new release and I love replaying old episodes. Highly recommend!
  • Endie user
    Can’t ID w characters
    Great story for gender fluid people. I id’ w straight characters so this is not my kind of podcast.
  • Winterbob1
    Top Tier Horror Pod
    Voice acting and sound design is superb. A lot of horror podcasts are just people reading stories, but this podcast includes sound effects and well-timed spooky music. 5 stars!
  • Trgabg
    Great stories!
    I really enjoy these stories. Almost like a Twilight Zone meets Pulp Fiction 😊. Great acting. I listen to a lot of these as I commute a lot for work, and these actors are really good. I can feel the scenes as I’m listening. Characters are great. Only downside, and not awful, but I can hear the same voices in the stories. So takes me a minute to detach a character from a previous story.

    Through her eyes
    I love this show! It feels like a safe space.
  • Crateguy011885
    Tried, but couldn’t get invested.
    3 episodes in and every white male is weak, evil, stupid, or some combination of the three. Good audio and voice acting. Can’t get invested in the stories because of the weird prejudices of the show. The show’s quality suffers because of it.
  • Ee to the Tee
    Well made!
    In addition to immersive (and horror-inducing) scripts, the soundscape is superb! They employ varying audio effects that really put you in the moment. Love them!
  • Moelightsound
    Whoa. Freaked me out.
    Sooo spooky. Not for the sub-mature horror fan. Very well developed, acted, produced, and written. Creeped me the eff out. Way better, more professional than what others in the genre have to offer. Still feeling weird…
  • Alpskier88
    Wow
    Just wow. From the story to the sound design, a genius at work.
  • dingo warrier
    A wild ride with each episode
    One of the best fiction podcasts available. Highly recommended great content excellent writing and all star voice actors
  • Vilano Beach comber
    First podcast to genuinely scare me
    The voice acting is absolutely amazing and I feel fully immersed with every story. This podcast genuinely sends chills down my spine. Each story is so different and I'm excited to see each new episode because no two are alike. These stories are so different from any other podcast I've listened to so I can never tell what's going to happen next. Keeps me on the edge of my seat
  • Lola21879
    Great show
    I heard about this show from horror hill and downloaded it but hadn’t listened to it right away. I just binged all the episodes tonight and wow what an intense show. I liked every episode except one bc the actress was being annoying. The sound effects were top notch, stories were good and actors overall were phenomenal. It looks like the episodes don’t come out often which is a shame but I plan on donating so hopefully they will put out more often. I highly recommend this podcast
  • Ree1108

  • Ho11y*
    LOVE!
    This show is so Good! The episodes do not come out quick enough! I need more!! This show is dark, thrilling, and episodic, with shorts that are what I call "THINKERS." They keep me on the edge of my seat throughout and always have me contemplating the episode even after it ends.
  • WHYDOINEEDONE7363728
    Monthly updates 😭
    I really love this show. I’m a new listener and listened to all in like aaaa day? Then was fortunate enough to have the monthly ep come out like a few days later. I’ve been itching for more!!!! I realllly loved Joyhaven, it’s less sexual than the others 🤣
  • Ryleejames
    Awesome!!!!
    Advice After Dark was a banger!!! What a great story👍👍
  • KeanaBabe5292

    Love this Podcast
  • Ethan's Dad2
    Wow!!!
    I listen to Podcast while I work and they often become background noise just to pass the time. This Podcast had my full attention for every single episode. The disappointment I felt when I realized that I had listened to all the available episodes was surprising. Great stories, looking forward to hearing more.
  • Fire  kill
    Amazing!!
    One of the best audio dramas/series I’ve heard. So well produced and the cast is amazing. Wish we could get full series based off of the episodes
