EPISODE 28 INTERLUDE: A MILLIONAIRE'S TUNNEL, PHANTOM SLAPS, AND BLACK METAL 1:16:20

6y ago1:16:20

1:16:20

On Earth, our past and present are equally bizarre, grotesque, and surprising. This inescapable fact is precisely why The Age of Enfrightenment was founded. Throughout the ongoing Interlude series within the AoE catalog, each of your hosts have introduced eerie vignettes to one another as well as you, the listener. On this particular 3 part episode…

EPISODE 27 LOVECRAFT PART II: THE CREATIONS OF MADNESS 1:05:00

6y ago1:05:00

1:05:00

On the previous episode of AoE, your hosts explored the brilliant mind and melancholy life of Cosmic Horror maestro Howard Phillips Lovecraft. In Part II, Theo, Dave, and Nick will each retell one of their favorite Lovecraft stories, what it means to them, and the significance of those stories within the greater universe of the writer's expansive l…

EPISODE 26 LOVECRAFT PART I: THE FATHER OF COSMIC HORROR 1:00:04

6y ago1:00:04

1:00:04

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." These words could easily serve as an introductory statement encapsulating the thesis of this entire podcast. So it is not by mistake that the man who wrote them in his 1927 essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature", has been refe…

EPISODE 25 SERIAL KILLERS 1:20:39

6y ago1:20:39

1:20:39

In past episodes, The Age of Enfrightenment has explored the fascinating yet unproven accounts of so many monsters throughout history. Gruesome accounts of mutilation and mayhem draw us in with their horrific nature, but often with the safety net of skepticism and rationalization. From the monsters within this episode though, there is no such safe …

EPISODE 24 VAMPIR 1:13:20

6y ago1:13:20

1:13:20

"When man meets a force he can't destroy, he destroys himself instead. What a plague you are." This line is spoken with the deepest contempt and disgust by the leader of a supernatural gang of predators to one of their victims in the film 30 Days of Night. The story accounts the misfortune of a small Alaskan town when its annual month-long darkness…

EPISODE 23 WAR: THE THEATRE OF HORRORS 1:20:15

6y ago1:20:15

1:20:15

For all of our immense achievements of progress throughout history, it seems as though humanity must pay an equally immense price. Every breakthrough in mass communication is twisted by dangerous and false propaganda. Every miracle of humanitarian aid arrives parallel to a new weapon of unimaginable destruction. It isn't the stuff of our common nig…

EPISODE 22 VISION 1:18:16

6+ y ago1:18:16

1:18:16

How do you know that something is real? If you listen to this podcast, it's likely that you are a discerning skeptic like us, and as such you may answer that question by saying "I'll believe it when I see it with my own two eyes." But is that even good enough? Consider all of the things those trusty eyes of yours can't do. They can't look in more t…

EPISODE 21 INTERLUDE: FAIRY TALES 1:29:35

6+ y ago1:29:35

1:29:35

Today there are few packages a story can come in that are more reserved for the realm of children than fairy tales. They are small, simple stories; often cautionary and perilous but ultimately toothless and appropriate for retelling before bed. But in the truth we can mine from history, they are so much more. These are the old tales. The characters…

EPISODE 20 Cults 1:14:37

6+ y ago1:14:37

1:14:37

It is probably safe to say that all people want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Whether it is as harmless as brand loyalty to your favorite tech company or as dangerous as giving all of your life savings to a shady organization offering the promise of fulfillment, each of us has exhibited some cult-like behavior in our lives. What…

EPISODE 19 THE HIDDEN PEOPLE

6+ y ago

—

For time immemorial, humans have looked to the heavens and wondered, "Are we alone in the Universe?" Perhaps though, many are right to have more local concerns. These are the people who ask "Are we alone... on Earth?" Ranging in size, distinction from or likeness to us, and most importantly degree of ill intent, there are too many names for our uns…

EPISODE 18 All Hallows Eve 1:17:43

6+ y ago1:17:43

1:17:43

It should come as no surprise that October 31st is deeply meaningful to your AoE hosts. The Age of Enfrightenment was built on the idea that the Universe's many unknown terrors are only matched by our endless fascination with them. There is simply no other night of the year that feels quite as alive with possibility and mystery as the ancient ritua…

EPISODE 17 Monsters: The World Destroyers 1:11:34

6+ y ago1:11:34

1:11:34

It can often be easy for us to feel unintimidated by nature. We go about our daily lives secure in the confidence that we are the uncontested apex species of the Earth. But consider for a moment the lack of concern that you show for every insect that crosses you underfoot. You are not another animal. You are a calamity of Biblical proportion; a for…

EPISODE 16 Clowns and Carnivals

6+ y ago

—

Perhaps for some it's the garishly colored ill-fitting outfits. For others maybe, the monstrously exaggerated movements. Or the laughing... the laughing that never feels entirely sincere and seems to hide some deeply buried malice. Whatever nuances are woven into the fear, we can all seem to agree on one thing: The face. Whether you find it charmin…

EPISODE 15 Cannibalism 1:10:51

6+ y ago1:10:51

1:10:51

From fried tarantulas in Cambodia to jellied moose nose in Canada, human beings have developed quite possibly the most eclectic diet of all living things. It seems there is only one meal across nearly every culture that is so taboo and foul that even the mere mention of it is enough to curdle the blood. We do not eat each other. This is a law so ha…

EPISODE 14 Interlude: Frightening Films 1:30:05

6+ y ago1:30:05

1:30:05

The earliest known "spook tale," as they were called until roughly the 1930s, is Le Manoir du Diable ("The House of the Devil"). Released just before the turn of the 20th century, the film is 3 minutes of black and white editing tricks that make eerie archetypes like bats, ghosts, and witches appear and vanish out of thin air. Since then scary movi…

1:10:38

Dear listeners, Whatever you may think you are doing here, do not listen to this episode of the Age of Enfrightenment. Please come back in two week when we will be posting a perfectly safe and entirely curse-free Episode 14. Ultimately, your decisions are your own and we can in no way police what auditory experiences you partake in, but we simply c…

EPISODE 12 Close Encounters 1:19:17

7y ago1:19:17

1:19:17

The Universe is unfathomably large, but the Earth is not. We know its circumference and its mass, and even how long it has been around. So it's easy to imagine that if we were ever visited by people from another world, we'd know about it. Where could they hide? After all, this is our house and we know who's been in it, right? Well, there is actuall…

EPISODE 11 Hollow Earth 1:05:36

7y ago1:05:36

1:05:36

There's nothing beneath our feet besides thousands of miles of rock, soil, and molten metal, right? Maybe a handful of wriggling sightless creatures who pose no threat to the likes of us. But what if there is so much more? Rivers, vegetation, even a small star... all of the necessary ingredients for life, and perhaps thriving, advanced civilization…

EPISODE 10 Creepypasta 1:05:52

7y ago1:05:52

1:05:52

For thousands of years, stories traveled at the speed of human beings, from one campfire to the next – mouth to ears. Today our stories travel at an average speed of 4 Megabits per second. Among them are an infinitely growing number of tales that are too chilling for common forms of media, and more often than not, claim to be true. Join the AoE for…

EPISODE 9 Horror in New Media 1:20:17

7y ago1:20:17

1:20:17

In a timespan of less than a few decades, video games and other forms of new media have provided entire worlds for humans to immerse themselves in. These worlds have their own laws of physics, rules, and moral codes and need not abide by those of reality. Essentially, they are ripe with the unknown – and where there is the unknown, there is so much…

Looking back as far as ancient myths and as recently as the 1950's, your three hosts each share stories near and dear to their sooty black hearts. On this mixtape of terror episode, prepare to celebrate Mother's Day the AoE way, meet a fiendish figure from 19th Century England, and reach a whole new level of dread toward the secrets of Cold War era…

EPISODE 6 Witchcraft 1:14:32

7y ago1:14:32

1:14:32

"Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and caldron bubble." Whether in Shakespeare, modern horror films, adorable Halloween costumes, or ancient religious texts, witches hold a special place in our collective human experience. We've seen them as healers, amusing fads, and as mortal threats, but whatever lens we choose to peek through, the unde…

Dare to take a stroll through the wilderness with the Enfrightenment fellas and their friend Jordan? This conversation deconstructs one of our oldest and arguably most logical fears as human beings... the woods.Di The Age of Enfrightenment

EPISODE 4 Lycanthropy 1:05:45

7y ago1:05:45

1:05:45

So far on AoE we have explored some of the fascinating ways that the world, the people, and the technology around us shape our fears. On this episode, look deep within at the beast inside each of us as Dave, Theo, and Nick discuss the universally human concept of shape-shifters.Di The Age of Enfrightenment
