The Screaming Head

Yes. Royalty. The best in podcast horror. Horrifying and amazing. The voice actors are supremely talented. I love it and look forward to every new episode.
Just shock factors

Jul 27

cellywiththesticks

I use to love this show, it was fresh. Amazing stories, and overall terrifying however now I feel like there’s been a 180. The stories are not terrifying anymore just gross. In the earlier years of the podcast the title was well fitting because the stories were so scary sleep wasn’t needed after. Now the stories are just filled with nonsense like sexual abuse, animal torture , etc. It’s all for shock value so it’s more weird than scary and I feel like the show has lost its core. I wish it would go back to true horror with ghost, hauntings, witches, creatures. It’s not to no sleep podcast anymore, should be called the nonsense podcast. I’ve followed and unfollowed because I always have hope they will get back to how to podcast was but not every story is the same thing. Will be unfollowing for good this time.
Boo!
