On October 4th, 2025, hosted by a trio of one, the flesh of the Staying Scared podcast will begin weekly lurking as creator Thomas Scopel allows his grim sides, emcee Wee Willie and News Anchor Willard free reign while he concentrates on crafting creepy for the Dark Arts segments.
Pace and variety go hand in bony hand with fear and fun here at Staying Scared. Immersive and atmospheric, usually the portrayal is eerie, but comedy plays a clear role too. Everything can be considered scary or fearful when perceived through certain eyes and although the Staying Scared podcast may be a fan of horror in general, it is not limited to such.
Independently produced, Staying Scared is a Willie, Willard and Thomas three headed niche having a clear focus on structured variety video content and is far beyond the traditional podcast. Of course, audio only versions will also be available alongside the episode catalog at Spotify. Also, be sure to find your way to the Staying Scared YouTube Channel. We tend to bury there too, especially the little bitsy pieces parts.
Getting back to that fleshy thing or what you might see or hear on the Staying Scared podcast. Of course, we’re certainly not going to give away all our planned scares, but will say that tales, news, reviews, crafting, FX, shocks and much more are in store.
We might teach an FX trick or create a Halloween decoration prop. We may review the latest fright flick or chilling show or finally show our first short horror film. We could tinker on the Staying Scared Hearse or build a rather horrific dollhouse (because not all dollhouses are pristine and pure).We may read a bedtime story or explore movie physics or learn about castles or even dissect a bat.
And...be sure to watch for our animations and postings. Share, like, subscribe and follow to keep up.
So go rest in your lairs or tombs creatures, ghouls and monsters…October 4th will be here before you know it….and it will be the creepy season.
Bahahahahahahahaha!
