More description of blood and death, but not as bad as “ Darkest Night. “Lake Clarity” - A little more swearing, all in English this time. “The White Vault” - Mild Swearing, (including the occasional F-Bomb and some curse words in other languages) and descriptions of injuries that some may find unnerving (nothing jumps out to me as particularly bad). “The No Sleep Podcast,” “ Darkest Night ” and “Snap Judgment Presents: Spooked II” It’s a little tighter and more in line with what I like as a fiction consumer. “Lake Clarity”: I don’t think I have a favorite single episode of “Lake Clarity,” but I honestly like season one more than two. “The White Vault”: It’s hard to say if I have a favorite, but if I had to pick, I would say season one, episode six: “Evident.” It’s a small episode in terms of plot, but it’s a heart-pounding episode. I love both of them, and I hope you do too. It would be great for these podcasts to get some more support since there isn’t a lot of publicity for them.
They released a teaser trailer, so I’m glad they are still going strong. As for season three, well, we’ll see what it holds. Since it’s following a young journalist, it makes sense. I liked this just for the fact that it felt more like a mystery slasher film, kind of like “Halloween” or “Friday the 13th.” I would like to note though, the second season of “Lake Clarity” is presented with mostly different characters and set up more like a documentary. Both seasons have supercuts that make binging one easy listening experience. “Lake Clarity” is probably the easiest podcast to binge. I still don’t know around 70% of what’s going on with the events that they have presented, but I have some serious doubts that things will end well. There is a lot to unpack and so many mysteries to uncover, especially with new episodes to come. But once it does, I don’t think you’ll be able to stop listening. However, you do have to get over an initial one to two episode hump until the podcast gets more interesting. “The White Vault” has new episodes coming out once a week, and each one ramps up the tension just a little bit to make you want to know what happens next.
Instead of using notes and voice recordings, this series is all through a camera’s point of view, so audiences follow a whole group of protagonists instead of just one character. It’s “The Blair Witch Project” mixed with “The Thing.”Īnother podcast with a similar tone - and even more direct influence from “The Blair Witch Project,” is the highly-recommended “Lake Clarity.” T his podcast follows a group of kids camping when they stumble upon a conspiracy that goes much deeper than the urban legend that surrounds the nearby lake. The story is presented as a series of recovered notes, recordings and “video” clips from the research team that have been recovered. “The White Vault” is a horror drama set in the outpost Fristed outside of Svalbard, Norway.
If you’re a horror fan like me, there are two more podcasts worth adding to your feed. If you know anything about my choice in podcasts, it’s that I love them spooky - “Darkest Night” and “The No Sleep Podcast” are both in my top-five favorites.
