Campfire Radio Theater – “Whispers From Hell”
We present a story that might make you think twice before answering the phone late at night. “Whispers From Hell” is a sharp turn into psychological horror that escalates from familiar territory into something far darker.
As much as I enjoy writing music for horror stories, the ending for this particular episode was great fun to compose. It required a level of anxiety-inducing intensity that pushes the tension to its absolute breaking point. I highly recommend listening in the dark with headphones for optimum enjoyment.
The Story: A Secret in the Cemetery
Harmless pranks turn dark as a young woman fears a voyeuristic predator may be stalking her from the shadows of peaceful suburbia where a dreadful secret lies in the cemetery next door.
