Holiday Fear started as a Christmas horror annual story that was intended to continue year to year with a single episode per year with an expanding narrative and a growing story. It has evolved into a multi-episode per year story, featuring holidays, horror, friends, and lore based on where they come from in Upstate New York
Synopsis: After three friends reunite for the first time in a while, what seems like separate scary stories maybe feeding to something larger. What happens when the holiday cheer is nowhere to be found but the Holiday Fear is everywhere? Structured as a horror holiday anthology with Are You Afraid of the Dark meets Nine to Midnight. We invite listeners for a long form story that will start slow like a sleigh ride but eventually come to a head.
