Playlist of the Dead: An All-Star Halloween Special

Six Strangers. One Cursed Playlist. Ultimate Power—or Certain Death.

Drawn by a mysterious letter promising the power to control an army of the dead, six strangers arrive at a hidden location with a single task: survive a binge-listening session unlike any other. Their key to unlocking this dark magic? The Necronomicon iPod, a macabre piece of technology loaded with a supernatural podcast playlist.

Meet the crew: a die-hard podcast fan, a cat dad with a quirky side, a skeptical ghost hunter, a spiritual healer, an unreliable flake, and a professional entertainer with a flair for the dramatic. Together, they must endure each eerie episode—but as secrets are revealed and tensions rise, not everyone is guaranteed to make it out alive.

This one-of-a-kind horror-comedy event features exclusive segments from fan-favorite podcasts: And That's Why We Drink, Two Girls One Ghost, Creeps and Crimes, Ladies & Tangents, and Live, Laugh, Larceny.

Will they unlock the power of the undead—or will the cursed playlist claim their souls first? Tune in to this all-star podcast holiday event for a supernatural audio adventure like no other!
