Curious Matter Anthology

Oct 21

We continue our spooky season vibes on this episode of Curious Matter Presents to bring you a show that will scratch that Stranger Things itch for all you horror fans out there. We have creator Andrew Crabtree in the studio to give you a guided tour of his uniquely enigmatic show, the Void. This show asks, what do you know about the dark? When you look into the shadows, do you feel them watching back? In the town of Milton, the darkness isn't just in your head; it lives in the woods. They call it The Void, a cursed expanse that surrounds the town, swallowing anyone who dares to leave. At the center of the fear lurks the Hat Man, a figure of nightmares, or perhaps something worse... Sam, a restless teenager trapped by the forest and his addict father, is desperate for a way out. When an eccentric old man hands him a strange pamphlet, a whispered promise of a path through The Void, Sam and his friends begin a harrowing journey that will change everything they thought they knew about their town, their families, and themselves. The Void is a full-cast audio drama. Follow them anywhere you listen to podcasts and on socials at instagram.com/thevoid_pod Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
