Last October, 8TW presented a month-long festival of frights called Echoes of Horror. The festival turned out to include some of our best work, with excellent audioplays by Anna Crawford, David Ellis and Arthur Ratnick.

It shouldn't be surprising that we're planning on doing a second festival this coming October, Echoes of Horror 2023: Bug Juice Bugaloo. This year, we're even planning on having open submissions (keep an eye out for our announcement for guidelines and more information), allowing anyone with a chilling tale to tell to be given the 8TW spotlight. But even with all that, we still wanted to mark this moment of anticipation where we're Halfway To Halloween!

So on April 28th, we'll be doing something the collective have been talking about since November by releasing Echoes of Horror: The Portmanteau, an omnibus collection containing all seven audioplays in last year's festival with interstitials featuring the Horror Host from Public Domain Comics Theater. The goal was to capture the feel of those great horror anthology films from Amicus Pictures, and we hope you'll enjoy revisiting these amazing tales from a different perspective.

Then in May 7th, it's time to get nostalgic yet again, as Anna Crawford writes another episode of the long-forgotten 60's sitcom 'Hoppily Ever After' in Love and The Loveland Frog Conquers Most! Dotty and Guy Frogman, everyone's favorite mismatched couple--she's a potential criminal mastermind and he's the legendary Ohio cryptid--plays cupid by helping their friend Mayor Lynn get a date with the new professor at the local college who's sexy, European and made of non-contiguous flesh. But can Dotty resist trying to make the date go perfect? I Married The Loveland Frog was one of the most popular plays in last year's Echoes of Horror, and this follow-up promises more hilarity from giggles to belly laughs! Sarah Palmero and Jim Moon reprise their roles as Dotty and Guy, with Chris Tyler joining the cast as Professor Frankie!

Our Halfway to Halloween specials ushers in our Summer schedule, which will include more of the fifth season of Stranger In Paradise, new episodes of Public Domain Comic Theater, and a new F.O.X.E.S. spy-fi adventure. We hope you will join us for all we've got to offer.

You can download or stream the audio dramas at https://twotruefreaks.com/podcast/qt-series/the-ocadecagonagon-theater-group/. They will also be available on Apple Podcast, Podbay and other places where quality podcasts can be accessed. Please note that the schedule is subject to change.
