Disturbing New Free-to-Stream Horror Series is Perfect for Halloween: “It’s deeply frightening”
Horror fans, gather ’round—the chilling terror of Dark Sanctum is back with an all-new season that’s darker, more disturbing, and shocking than ever before. This award-winning audio fright fest returns with a fresh lineup of seven original tales that plunge listeners into a nightmarish world of tuned-in terror. Inspired by the mind-bending thrills of The Twilight Zone and the bone-chilling twists of Tales from the Crypt, each episode is a hauntingly cinematic journey designed to leave you breathless. One of them especially…
This season, the macabre stories unfold with a cast of recognizable voices, including Bethany Joy Lenz (One Tree Hill, Dexter), Clive Standen (Vikings, The Morning Show), Michael O’Neill (Dallas Buyers Club, Seabiscuit), and Maxwell Caulfield (Grease 2, The Colbys). These voices aren’t just narrating; they’re luring you into a dark cellar where reality blurs and every shadow holds secrets waiting to be uncovered.

With industry legend Mark Ramsey (Inside JAWS, Inside the Exorcist) leading the series as creator, writer, and director, Dark Sanctum immerses listeners in a crypt where the supernatural collides with the psychological. Layered with unsettling soundscapes from audio mastermind Jeff Schmidt (Dirty John, Dr. Death), each tale is packed with shocks, whispers, and suspenseful silences that hang in the air like bodies. Ramsey has elevated audio storytelling to an art form, masterfully intertwining cinematic horror with atmospheric sound, delivering an experience that’s as terrifying as it is impossible to pause. And we are beyond proud to be a part of presenting the series here at Dread.
For those daring enough, Dark Sanctum Season 2 is available exclusively on Wondery+, ensuring every scare is delivered in ad-free, uncensored glory. This season is an essential addition to any horror lover’s library, executive-produced by myself (Josh Korngut) and presented by DreadCentral.com and the Dread Podcast Network.
Listeners can dive into the horror by joining Wondery+ on the Wondery app, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify, with a free trial available for new members. But beware: this isn’t just a series of stories—it’s an invitation to step into the sanctum, where every shadow has teeth, and fear is only a whisper away.
Don’t take my word for it; Dread Central’s editor-in-chief, Mary Beth McAndrews, calls the series “deeply frightening,” and I agree.
