The Witch in the Woods is a family friendly horror podcast.

Yes, we said family friendly horror.

From award winning playwright Becky McLaughlin, this scripted podcast follows four children as they seek out the witch in the woods on a dare. They befriend her and her familiars: a fastidious dog named Barnaby and a snarky cat named Grimalkin. As they continue to visit, Barnaby and Grimalkin tell the children urban legends, spine-chilling tales, and inadvertently recruit the children in their secret supernatural fight to save the world.

Aimed at a middle grade/young adult audience and featuring classic tales such as The Hook Hand, The Vanishing Hitchhiker and Bloody Mary, this podcast balances laugh out loud humor with gasp out loud spookiness. It will have you and your children wondering: “Am I brave enough to listen to this?” And “When does the next episode come out?”

“Thoroughly charming framing of some well known, and not so well known, traditional campfire stories, urban legends, and ghostly tales. Adults will delight in sharing these podcasts with the tweens in their lives, preferably with the lights out!”

“What a fun story! I was pulled in from the first moments, and now I can’t wait for the next episode to drop! The storyline with the kids is so interesting, and the scary stories in between definitely remind me of trying to scare one another around a campfire. This podcast is awesome!”

“Fun for the whole family, get lost in classic scary stories with a modern twist. Encompasses both humor and spine-tingling fright. We are particularly fond of the talking dog and cat. We can’t wait for the next episode to drop!”
