FWD: The Hotel

Bloody FM
About this episode

It's not haunted, it's not hell, it's... The Hotel!

From grand 5 star resorts down to forgotten highway motels, each night a guest checks in under the watchful eye of the Manager, her Lobby Boy, and the Owner, as they usher in a fantastic and horrifying death for the Hotel Herself, who's always watching her beloved Staff in their nightmare work. Good, bad, innocent, guilty, anyone can check in, but no one, not even the Staff, checks out.


Transcript here. See the end of the shownotes for a transcript of Tal's introduction at the top of the episode.

Transcript of the Intro:

Hi, I'm Tal Minear, executive producer of Regarding Dracula. I'm here today to tell you about another audio drama I think you'd like - The Hotel! From grand 5 star resorts down to forgotten highway motels, each night a guest checks in under the watchful eye of the Manager, her Lobby Boy, and the Owner, as they usher in a fantastic and horrifying death for the Hotel Herself, who's always watching her beloved Staff in their nightmare work. Good, bad, innocent, guilty, anyone can check in, but no one, not even the Staff, checks out. The Hotel features Mark Whitten from Demon Slayer as The Lobby Boy, Kelly Nienaltowski from Genshin Impact as The Manager, and our very own Graham Rowat as The Owner. I love the writing of this audio drama, and the slow building horror within the narration. Keep listening to find out what I mean!
