Dead air is my favourite special effect. If the feature versions keep the silence, I am in. If they add a score that tells me when to be scared, I am out.

Talking into the static and waiting for an answer is my favorite part. It is basically a radio drama you perform yourself.

Dead air is a signal. I will die on this hill, and apparently the call will too.

Audiobook people: a horror novel with a good narrator at night is basically radio drama. Pick one with a calm voice. Trust me on this.

The best series make the gap part of the horror. You sit there waiting for the next broadcast as if it is actually coming from somewhere.

The worry is that adaptation kills what made it work. Audio horror lives in your imagination. The minute you cast the monster, it gets smaller.

Or an RSS feed of Oracle calls. Old tech never dies, like a good ghost.
