Looks Creepy Cool Podcast: Horror Stories & the Creators Who Build Them

Looks Creepy Cool is the official podcast of Haunted House FearFest, the cross-media horror platform celebrating dark storytelling across folklore, film, games, and the uncanny.

Episodes feature creepy conversations with the creators who build horror stories — including filmmakers, game developers, writers, and artists — alongside original tales drawn from folklore, fiction, and things best left unexplained.

From the Mirror Room of horror origin stories to the Library of Shadows of spine-chilling tales, Looks Creepy Cool is where storytelling and creator craft collide.

If it looks creepy, it must be cool.
