Please do not tamper with any elevators you find, and our decision to take the stairs is in no way connected to our fear of elevator serial killers – we just find them immoral on multiple levels. Well, unless there are extraordinary circumstances, like if you do, well, anything that happens in our episodes. In our episodes, one of our themes is what you should really be afraid of who is with you in the elevator. While, yes, we are terrified of the thought of dying in an elevator, provided they’ve been recently inspected and given their proper maintenance, you should be fine… statistically speaking. The only limit is what can happen in an elevator, and trust us, a LOT can happen in an elevator.Įlevators are safe machines necessary for everyday life. The stories of this anthology podcast are not linked through tone – they’re linked by the premise. Maybe it’s a happy episode and at the end, a fly dies in the elevator. This show was founded to play in this space, to see how far you can go with this limit and enjoy every part of the process.ĭespite the title, not every episode is a work of horror or sadness. The show name tells you everything you need to know – someone dies in this elevator, but everything the title doesn’t tell you (Who? When? How? Why?) is what draws you into each story, despite thinking you know how it’s going to end.

The show was founded as a creative writing exercise – a “what if” that turned into “Wait, we could do that” (as podcasts so often do). Who’s in the elevator? Who dies? What will happen next? It doesn’t have to be ordinary or fantastical. Maybe it’s the elevator to an apartment complex in 2020. Maybe it’s an elevator to an underwater steampunk world in an alternate 1700s. Maybe it’s a corporate elevator from the 1920s. The elevators vary from episode to episode, in both time and place. Someone Dies In This Elevator is a spoiler driven anthology podcast where the only thing that ties each story together is that (1) it takes place in an elevator and (2) someone dies (in the elevator, of course).

In Re: Dracula, we want to experiment with grounded readings of Dracula, the sort of intimate acting that audio drama so often excels at. The show will be released for free, but those who help us fund the project will get additional perks, including ad-free episodes, a full audiobook, digital downloads, and more! But primarily, we'll be looking at the novel thorough a modern day lens – not changing the text, but approaching outdated sections with nuance. We intend to be a faithful, text-accurate adaptation, featuring a full cast to tug on your heartstrings and sound design to keep you on the edge of your seat. We'll have content warnings at the top of each episode, and while we aim to follow the text of the novel as much as possible, we will be removing unnecessary racist asides.

Some entries will be brief, and others will be long and intense. If we are successfully funded, the first episode will drop May 3, and the final episode, November 7th. Every time something happens to the characters, Re: Dracula will publish an episode, in as close to real time as possible. We're taking the famous horror tale, breaking it up chronologically (every entry of this epistolary novel has a date), and sending the story directly to your podcatcher as it happens. Re: Dracula is a bite-sized audio adaptation of the horror classic Dracula that's currently crowdfunding!
