Aw snap, this one gives me (worm)wood.

Wormwood is a tasty vacation spot ... if you like eating human flesh, that is.Wormwood is a tasty vacation spot ... if you like eating human flesh, that is.RATING: Four out of five Sigs.

I'm digging this one a lot. This is a nice audio theatre podcast, 20+ episodes of murderous occult action. Think of Buffy the Vampire Slayer getting it on with a Clive Barker carnival of doom and the baby would be born at Wormwood General Hospital.

PROS: The dialogue is really strong, even though it's written by multiple people. Arthur Russel (as Dr. Xavier Crowe) totally steals the show, and is hands-down the best voice actor in podcasting. Period.

CONS: The sound production is okay, but the levels are all over the place in the early episodes. Keep your hands near your headphones, my friends, because during phone conversations or when the monster screams, your ears will bleed. The voices are also recorded in different places, so a conversation could have one perfectly dry voice and one voice that's recorded in a cafeteria somehere. It's a bit distracting, but you get used to it quick, especially when Russel is laying down his lines.

OVERALL: This is gold. I love it. I'm knocking back three episodes a day. If it wasn't for the crazy audio production in the early episodes, it would be 5-of-5 Sigs.

I normally listen to podcasts right before I sleep and I remember being woken up by a scream of terror and realized it was Rachel screaming at the quarry. That was freaky. I'm excited for the next season! ....I love fluffy bunnies Amy
