Looks Creepy Cool Podcast: Horror Stories & the Creators Behind the Fear
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.
New episodes every other week.
Step into the Mirror Room for creepy conversations with the creators behind horror—including filmmakers, game developers, writers, prop artists, makeup artists, and artists who bring nightmares to life. Explore the fears, inspirations, and creative journeys that shape their work before they leave the Mirror Room with one final reflection.
Then venture into the Library of Shadows, where original horror stories inspired by folklore, fiction, and things best left unexplained await.
Whether you're drawn to independent horror creators, unsettling legends, or tales that linger long after the lights go out, Looks Creepy Cool is where storytelling and creator craft collide.
If it looks creepy, it must be cool. Follow the Fear.

In this episode of the Looks Creepy Cool horror podcast, host Renee speaks with Dan Lester, creator of the survival-horror game Deadly Footprints and founder of Monkeys Might Puke.
They explore the psychology of fear in gaming — what makes players panic, why chase scenes get your heart racing, and how sound and pacing transform tension into terror. Dan shares his creative process, the challenges of indie game development, and the delicate balance between fear, fun, and player control.
Listeners will discover how real emotions drive gameplay, how survival instincts influence design, and why horror games tap into our most primal reactions.
If you love survival horror, game design, and the thrill of fear in interactive storytelling, this episode will pull you right into the chase.
