echoes in the dark: the first episode resonates
There’s a certain stillness that creeps in every October night. The air sharpens, the leaves whisper secrets underfoot, and the moon hangs heavy—watchful—as if waiting for something to stir.
Halloween isn’t just a holiday; it’s a season of remembering. Of old stories told around dim lamps and bonfires. Of masks that let us become our shadows for a night. Of the thin space between the living and the dead growing thin enough to hear what’s on the other side.
At Dark Hollow Media, this is the time we live for—the hum of old radios, the flicker of jack-o’-lanterns, the ghosts that never quite stopped talking. It’s when Echoes in the Dark feels most alive, and the line between story and reality blurs beautifully.
So light a candle. Pour a cup of something warm. Step outside and listen. The Hollow is restless tonight.
Because Halloween doesn’t end when the clock strikes midnight—it lingers in the corners, behind closed doors, waiting for you to turn the lights off.
There’s a certain kind of thrill that comes when you release something into the world for the first time—especially when it’s meant to unsettle, intrigue, and echo long after the final sound fades.
This past week marked the official debut of Echoes in the Dark: Stories, Haunts, & Horrors, and the turnout has been incredible. From the first stream to the growing list of followers, it’s clear that people are ready for something a little different in the horror space—something that blends eerie storytelling with dark humor and atmospheric sound design.
Episode One set the tone perfectly: unsettling whispers, a twist of sarcasm, and the kind of stories that creep into your dreams if you listen too closely. I couldn’t be happier with the response so far. The messages, shares, and comments remind me why this project exists—to give horror fans a place where they can laugh nervously, lean in closer, and feel that chill crawl up their spine.
And this is only the beginning.
New episodes will drop bi-weekly, diving deeper into the world of dark folklore, strange encounters, and original nightmares. If you haven’t yet, follow the show on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen—and remember:
When you’re lying in bed at night and hear something move… it’s probably just your imagination. Or is it?
Thank you all for making the first episode such a success. The Hollow is growing louder—and you’re part of it.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
