Hoping to release some fun snippets and extras on our feed as we go, so please be sure to follow us on Spotify, or anywhere else you get your podcasts!
WHAT IS THE HOLMWOOD FOUNDATION?
Our story follows Jeremy Larkin (Played by Sean Carlsen) and Maddie Townsend (Played by Rebecca Root), two co-workers at the mysterious Holmwood Foundation, as they are possessed by the ghosts of Jonathan and Mina Harker, and embark on a road trip across the country in an effort to achieve their ghost's wishes: to stop Dracula once and for all.
This is a story about identity and self discovery, family loyalty and devotion, all wrapped around a nightmare of a road trip with a rejuvenating severed head, incredibly sincere Victorian ghosts, and an analogue recorder

"how do you have time to listen to all these podcasts" great question! i don't. and yet
it's simple really: october is for horror movies with highly stylized villains and iconic monsters because they make for good costumes. early november is for gothic horror because of the fog and decay etc. late november is for zombies (commentary on consumerist culture). december is for psychological horror and stuff where they're trapped in a room because that's when you have to go to holiday parties with your family.
We have a family member undergoing open heart surgery this week so my household is doing a lot of planning and prep, physically and mentally. Due to this tomorrow's episode will be delayed until Tues, the 28th. Sorry for the inconvenience but thank you so much for your patience. For clarity, they are going to be on a 48-hour constant watch cycle afterwards and the reality of it is that this will come down to my partner and I alternating this time between us while also tending to the rest of our family, and my job. Cuz Capitalism don't stop.
Howdy friends!

Dead West is a horror audio fiction series that is a blend of folk horror and weird western themes told in a re-imagined American Gilded age. A time when everything was stolen, blood was let, and society grappled with modernity. Find our show on all Podcatchers! Be sure to leave a rating and review.
