Exploring Humanity Through Sci-Fi

When the Weeds Whisper: David Koepp’s Yard Work


Listen Later

In this chilling and cinematic episode, we sit down with legendary screenwriter and director David Koepp—the mind behind iconic films like Jurassic Park, Spider-Man, and Panic Room—to talk about his foray into immersive audio storytelling with the Audible Original horror drama, Yard Work.

Koepp shares the eerie inspiration behind the story, which follows a grieving widower and former surgeon—played by the one and only Kevin Bacon—as he confronts strange and increasingly malevolent overgrowth creeping into his remote property. We explore Koepp’s transition from screen to sound, the unique constraints and creative freedoms of audio horror, and how he builds suspense using only the power of voice, sound design, and imagination.

🔊 Plus: A gripping clip from Kevin Bacon's performance as Charles, delivering the kind of grounded, visceral intensity that only he can. It’s a small taste of the eerie atmosphere that makes Yard Work a must-listen for horror fans.
