So, curious visitor you want to learn a little more? Well, just remember how the cat made out with that…

About Frightening Tales

At its core, FrighteningTales.com seeks to share horror with fans of horror for no other reason than, the love of horror. I created all of this because I genuinely love to tell stories. Performing these tales provides me with a level of joy that frankly I’d not like to be without. Knowing listeners tune in each week and enjoy a good story, provided in an entertaining medium is rather fulfilling. Introducing listeners to authors both seasoned and just starting out is an added bonus.  I love the idea that somehow I can give back to the creative people who share their tales by creating awareness for them.

So, how did I end up here…

Imagine my excitement to learn that the URL FrighteningTales.com wasn’t taken. I hopped on it immediately. Originally I thought that this site would be a magazine blog where I’d collect everything and anything about horror, I had wanted to set this up to provide people that had a love of the macabre, another place to gather and collect information. I also intended to have original content here, from authors and artists alike. I was so beside myself in acquiring the URL, I wanted to build something terrifyingly amazing. Putting a pin in that thought I also mention that since the early 90’s I’ve listened to old-time radio plays, scary stories performed by voice actors. At that time I met a fellow online that collected and provided such stories and offered to help him design his website. Horror-theatre.com.

Fast forward to the pandemic of 2019, I happened to have purchased all the equipment I’d need to create my own terrifying tales… but, the equipment was for the purposes of online meetings.

Meeting after meeting people would tell me that I had a great voice for radio, so I thought to myself… hmmm, perhaps I can use this for something. Since my son was born I’d been reading nighttime stories with him and had a tendency to get rather invested in the storytelling which often ended with him being very invested in the stories. It hardly took a push and I’d narrated my first story. The story was a test, and it was called “Wendigo” from the “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark series“. It went over very well with family and friends. Of course, I don’t own the rights to the tale so can’t share it in good faith. But I was sold on the idea of reading stories. The more I did the more I realized it wasn’t enough to just read a story it needed that full experience I had grown up with listening to radio plays. A musical score, and immersive sound effects. So, I pulled out the ol bank card and signed up for a stock audio service that would provide me legally all the audio music and effects I’d need.  It didn’t take long before authors from around the internet started to allow me to tell their tales. And you’ve hopefully just been listening to them. I’ll continue to make these for as long as I have stories to read.

I hope to share many… Scary Moments.
