In the Baby Boomer days of broadcast TV, a holiday like Halloween unleashed a torrent of Halloween-themed episodes on your favorite sitcoms, dramas, and variety shows. Suddenly, your favorite TV characters were wearing costumes and yelling "Boo."
Podcasts follow that same tried-and-true routine because it works.
Weirdly, Hollywood didn't always understand the connection between a holiday and the film release around that same time. For example, Miracle On 34th Street, one of the most revered Christmas movies, was released on May 2, 1947. Not surprisingly, moviegoers didn't flock to the theaters to see this holiday film.
So with Halloween around the corner, it's natural that two highly-anticipated horror podcast series from Tenderfoot TV, Radio Rental and Rattled & Shook, are returning with new gripping narratives. Combining chilling storytelling with unique takes on the supernatural, both podcasts offer fresh thrills just in time for the spooky season. Both series are produced in partnership with Audacy Podcasts.
With new episodes now streaming, Rattled & Shook returns with a lighthearted twist on horror and features real-time reactions to creepy accounts, engaging horror-themed games, and special guest appearances. You can listen to the new episode here. Hosted by Meredith Stedman and Aprile Ruha, Rattled & Shook delivers a harken back to old radio programs of the past, enhanced by the vibrant sound design and captivating score.
The horror-comedy podcast series, Rattled & Shook, delivers a dose of comedic relief. Each week, hosts Meredith Stedman and Aprile Ruha immerse themselves in new frightful tales while sharing their reactions in real-time. With features that include haunted houses, supernatural experiences, and creepy incidents, the podcast offers a fun variety show for all things spooky and horror-lite. The newest episode is a collaboration with the new Lionsgate horror film Bagman, in theaters September 27th, and features an interview with the film’s star Sam Claflin (“The Hunger Games”), who discusses the horror genre and his spooky childhood fears.
With similarities to Radio Rental, Rattled & Shook draws inspiration from the classic radio programs of earlier eras, stimulating a sense of nostalgia that transports listeners back in time. The vibrant sound design and captivating score enhances the storytelling experience in each chilling encounter.
There are many ways to present the paranormal in podcasting. Some of the best include And That's Why We Drink, Snap Judgment Presents: Spooked, and Lore. One of the best with an unusual premise and terrific host is Radio Rental.
Radio Rental returns on Friday, October 4, with the eccentric video clerk, Terry Carnation, portrayed by host Rainn Wilson (“The Office”). In this new installment, listeners can expect new firsthand haunting stories from the secret VHS collection of tales of horror and the unexplained, featuring thrilling encounters with black roosters, ghosts, skulls, and shapeshifting.
In each episode, various tapes are shared featuring firsthand accounts from survivors who narrate their terrifying experiences, including close calls with death, uncanny interactions with the deceased, and unexplainable time travel.
The imaginative, cult classic-inspired horror series blurs the lines of reality through innovative documentary storytelling infused with a touch of comedy. Now with over 50 million franchise downloads, the latest installment kicks off with “The Inlet,” a story about the newbie in the neighborhood who goes wakeboarding with some unexpected company, and “The Shed,” where the person who enters is not the same one who emerges.
You can get in the Halloween mood by listening to Radio Rental and Rattled & Shook.
