Dark Passenger

Dark Passenger Audio Horror Story
(Horror)
Written and Produced by Frederick Greenhalgh

Two teenage friends start scaring each other on the drive to a dismal “haunted” house on the coast of Maine. But when their innocent fun starts to become all too real, they soon realize what true terror is. A nod to Stephen King in a tale inspired by a true story too haunting to forget.

This inaugural field recorded FinalRune production still haunts today. It was recorded in the foggy, dim stretches of rural Downeast Maine where the story is set – the birthplace of creator Fred Greenhalgh. Featuring immersive sound design, and an original score, this full cast audio horror story is sure to chill to the bone.
