DARK STORIES FOR SCARY KIDS - AUDIO ANTHOLOGY SERIES, 2024
Audio Drama / Horror
'Dark Stories for Scary Kids' will be launching soon.
PRODUCED BY: SAVVAS STUDIOS, NO ENEMY CREATIVE
WRITTEN BY: CALLUM THOMAS
VOICED BY: JAMO KOUTS
Starting production in 2020 during the Covid pandemic, 'Dark Stories for Scary Kids' is a horror anthology series, and a love letter to the scary stories I used to make up and tell during my childhood. Following a simple premise, every episode telling a different horror story tells a different lesson.
While Dark Stories for Scary Kids's namesake does suggest it is for children, this is a stylistic choice only, its title referencing the horror themed children's tv shows from my youth. It is in fact aimed at horror fans of all ages.
'Dark Stories for Scary Kids' was filmed on the lands of the Wurundjeri people and I wish to acknowledge them as Traditional Owners. I would also like to pay my respects to their Elders, past and present, and Aboriginal Elders of other communities .
