Fun and ever changing - I miss Steve and the banter!
The first season is a wild ride that makes the entire spooky adventure a thousand times better with Steve and Nate riffing off each other — sometimes a little too much — but it’s an awesome dynamic.
4 / 5 - if Steve and the banter came back then it’d be a 5-star.

horror audiodrama
wow, since ive discovered 9 to midnight ive been going through each inidividual audio drama and horror novelization i could find and this is one of the best! ... and heres the BUT, the sound design is both amazing... and kinda sucky (no limit in volume) when things get loud or the characters get super whispery. big fan of the characters, story but yea the exectution needs to be refined a bit as im sure most listeners use headphones and that need some sorta consistency

Whoa! Scary.
I found this from a FB podcasting group, and boy am I glad to find it!
I started listening Friday evening while doing paperwork in my office. The building was mostly empty and I was headed out soon. As I listened I found myself looking over my shoulder, making sure my office door was still closed lol.
Good voice acting and making a great show with a minimalist format. Just voices and space. Not many storytelling podcasts use silence so effectively. Silence is usually good to avoid in an audio format but somehow this show uses it in an organic and meaningful way. Excited to binge the episodes, and super excited it’s still in production.

So glad I discovered this show!
Scary. Funny. Unsettling. Heartfelt. The Cellar Letters is an incredible show of twists and turns that run the gamut of emotions. My favorite kind of horror. The characters feel like people I know, or maybe am?

Great New Podcast
Absolutely love the show. It’s both funny and horrifying at times. The story is very engaging and I always look forward to hearing what happens next! Great show! Great story! Great voice acting!
An Enjoyable Creep Fest
Pretty much what I want out of a found footage podcast: creepy premise, leads with a fun dynamic, and a story that builds out far past what it seems. Aka a pretty fun time
Edge of your seat horror
Genuinely terrifying and hilarious, often at the same time. Between the jokes and the jump scares, this show grabs your attention and won't let go. The main characters' silliness endears them to the listener, and in a strange way lends authenticity to the haunting mystery they begin to unravel. I can listen to five episodes without blinking or noticing time has passed.

Spooky, Short & Fantastic!
I love love the short episodes- don’t get me wrong, I love hour long podcast episodes too but there’s just something about 15 minutes of creepy!
Keep up the creeps!

5*’s (but now 4*’s)
“Chilling. Funny. Fantastic. A phenomenal new(ish) podcast, give it a listen. You won’t regret it!”
That was my original review.. but now I have taken it down to four *’s opposed tkk on five because there isn’t a consistent episode release day and it has lost it’s initial humor and intrigue. Definitely still worth a listen, but it has lost a bit of its appeal for me.

Utterly Immersive!
What a fantastic audio drama this is. Right from the start you're immersed into the story and it just doesn't stop. The creators have done such a fantastic job to make this show believable and it really adds to the effectiveness of the the horror elements. Highly recommend giving this a listen!

Never enter the basement.
Never enter the basement. Or the cellar. But if you do, bring this pod along to scare the bejeezus out of you. You will not be disappointed unless that's your thing.

Wonderful
This podcast kind of pulls you with the lighthearted fumbling ay the very begining. As it goes on, it keeps you drawn in with the stories and twist. I can't wait to see what is going to happen next.
This is such a gem! Spooky, funny, with relatable and utterly charming characters. I just binged the first 10 episodes of The Cellar Letters and I´m totally hooked!
It´s so entertaining, with a witty dialogue, well acted and the story takes so many funny, unpredictable and scary turns.
The sound design is a bit rough around the edges, and that´s actually absolutely perfect for this show.
Update: after listening to more episodes I find this gets better with everyone. The sound design improves a lot, it gets even funnier (it has the best advertisement for patronage I've ever heard) and all in all this is just a blast and I enjoy every minute

Spooky fun!
Found this recommendation through a Magnus Archives thread. It’s a really fun, spooky listen. I love the relationship between the guys, and how they include pop culture references in their conversations like so many of us do. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds! Great show!

so FUN and so SPOOKY. well acted, well written, and so perfectly eases you into the scares and i’ve been spooked by some jumps on more than one occasion. there are some moments that feel so real and charming. awesome vibe! but will definitely pause and think before stepping into dark basements now lol. absolutely recommend this show to anyone who enjoys having fun and being spooked!!! can’t wait for more. (also there’s a dog??? amazing)

Amazing!
I listen to a lot of horror podcasts, and this one may be a new favorite. I love how silly and serious it can be, and how it blends the two together. In addition it has managed to fill the hole in my heart left behind by TMA Steve and Nate are both hilarious and kinda relatable, really cool character and story overall.
Really funny and terrifying!
I love how the creators have managed to blend both comedy and horror into a very cool combo. Also I love the story format and the characters are very relatable!
Utterly terrifying
Exactly why basements are horrifying. Every basement fear realized😂 That being said, from the first episode I was on the edge of my seat. The main character is a typical average Joe too, so totally relatable. Eery!

Best New Podcast of the Year!
Absolutely fantastic! Characters you like, great setting and creepy as could possibly be!
My only complaint is that the overall sound could use a bit of compression/limiting. The audio peaks are way above the average sound level, it’s not so bad on headphones but listening through a good stereo system requires some serious tweaking, otherwise it’s perfect!

Spine chilling
This podcast is horrifying, I can’t believe that they included putting pizza rolls in the microwave. 🤢 who does that??? Absolute scariest part of this whole show.
A fun and scary podcast that has a nice balance of humor and horror. I do recommend listening with headphones on, in a quiet place. I do not recommend listening at max volume, since there is a fair amount of slamming and shouting as you delve into the series. Can’t wait for more >:]

Spooky & silly
I love the spooky storyline, I’m invested in the characters, and the humor is awesome. Sound quality is bad, but that makes it more authentic? I can’t wait for more episodes!!
