And as shadows grow longer, a hideous truth emerges regarding the campfire legends of a wrathful old woman said to inhabit the valley.

Welcome friend. Have a seat by the fire... Make yourself comfortable.
And so opens our little anthology of spooky tales and things that go bump in the night. Campfire Radio Theater is something of a throwback to classic radio drama from the 30s and 40s but in many respects has more in common with a modern film soundtrack than those crackling recordings from a bygone golden era. It's a project I've wanted to do for a long time and we've had loads of fun putting it all together. I hope you enjoy our twisted tales and if possible listen with headphones in the dark of night.
