ComedyFictionLeisureGamesActual play RPGComedy horrorSerialized campaignsOriginal musicSeason arcsEnglish

Monster Hour is an narrative-driven actual play podcast that combines equal parts comedy and horror with crisp production value and original scoring. We are currently launching our third season playing City of Mist, by Son of Oak Games. Our season one campaign featured Monster of the Week, by Michael Sands, and our second season featured Absurdia, by Quinn Majeski.

Why listen

Monster Hour is for listeners who want actual play with a real story engine behind the jokes. The cast plays horror-leaning tabletop campaigns with sharp character banter, original music, careful editing, and season-long mysteries that feel closer to serialized genre fiction than a loose table recording. If you like supernatural investigations, weird towns, and funny players who still commit to emotional stakes, this is a strong pick.
