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.
