Classic podcast horror “The White Vault” returns for a third season in time for Halloween, a good time to look back and check out four other nuggets from this year in audio fear: the chilling reports from the “SCP Archives”, one high school student’s gradual acquaintance with supernatural evil, extinction-level sci-fi uncovered by “Among the Stars & Bones” and the discomforting soundscapes of “A World Where”.
The White Vault Season 3 (October 2019)
After a slow, world-building start, the original show revealed the terrible fate meeting the members of a maintenance crew set to fix up a remote Icelandic research station. Season 3, which began last Oct. 14, switched focus to an archeological team examining a new site established in the Patagonian Andes.
