Dark Passenger

Dark Passenger Audio Horror Story (Horror)
Written and Produced by Frederick Greenhalgh

FinalRune's latest tale of terror eclipses everything we've attempted so far, with a story that is chilling to the bone, the best performances to date, a stellar score and terrifying field FX recording on location on foggy and mysterious stretches of Downeast Maine.

Two teenage friends start scaring each other on the drive to a dismal "haunted" house on the coast of Maine. But when their innocent fun starts to become all too real, they soon realize what true terror is. A nod to Stephen King in a tale inspired by a true story too haunting to forget.
