Notable Episodes: "staircase", "bargain"
In the world of podcasts, no one does horror better than Soren Narnia, yep, on his podcast, Knifepoint Horror. Honestly, there might not be anyone that does horror better period. There isn't a single author, director, or composer that has a more acute understanding of what makes something scary. Each story is told from a first-person perspective with minimal production. The scaled-back music and effects mixed with the straightforward, I-was-there storytelling help the episodes to land. Hard. As fans of horror know, after your first dive into the genre, you're mostly just chasing those early highs with stories, films, and shows that set the right mood or create the right aesthetic for you to enjoy for a bit. Every once in a while, though, someone comes along and floors you. Or scares the shit out of you. Narnia, I can hear your eye rolls, does both. Unfortunately, Knifepoint Horror just released its last episode, but there are plenty to enjoy before you start filling the email inbox of Mr. Narnia -- trust me, I get it -- with pleads for more. All episodes are available for download for free.
