The Holmwood Foundation

By: Georgia Cook & Fio Trethewey
  • Summary

  • The Holmwood Foundation is a Found Footage Horror-Fiction Podcast following Maddie Townsend (Rebecca Root) and Jeremy Larkin (Seán Carlsen), two co-workers at the mysterious Holmwood Foundation, as they are possessed by the ghosts of Jonathan and Mina Harker, and embark on a road trip across the country in an effort to achieve their ghost's wishes: stop Dracula once and for all.


    This is a story about identity and self discovery, family loyalty and devotion, all wrapped around a nightmare of a road trip with a rejuvenating severed head, incredibly sincere Victorian ghosts, and an analogue recorder.

  • TRAILER SWAP - Englewood After Dark
    Oct 19 2024

    While we continue our Kickstarter Campaign, we would love to highlight trailers from likeminded shows!


    Englewood After Dark is a horror audio drama. College students Finn Nightingale and Eve Pemberly run a true crime conspiracy podcast from their university’s drama department. Their town, Englewood, is a hotbed of unsolved gruesome crimes and urban legends just ripe for the discussing. Their most recent case, diving into the legend surrounding The Murder Farm, pushes them to investigate the past of a long-dead serial killer professor at their university. But as they dig up more clues, they soon discover the roots of a conspiracy that stretches through history to the founding of Englewood. Some secrets are best kept hidden, and when they attract the attention of the powers that be on their campus, they are forced to rely on their wits to survive.


    Englewood After Dark is released Tuesdays at 3 pm (CT) every week. Created by Hannah Brown, Dennis Ortman and A. Rose.
