🪞 Step inside the Mirror Room.

In this episode of the Looks Creepy Cool Podcast: Horror Stories & the Creators Behind the Fear, Renee sits down with award-winning audio storyteller, writer, and director Fred Greenhalgh, founder of Dagaz Media, to explore the art of creating fear through sound.

From immersive audio dramas and psychological horror to writing for iconic franchises like Star Trek, The X-Files, and Locke & Key, Fred shares how atmosphere, pacing, and imagination can be more terrifying than anything shown on screen.
