Both Duchovny and Maggs discussed how much they enjoyed doing these scary audible stories comparing it to telling ghost stories around a campfire. Duchovny said it reminded him of the first season of The X-Files, when they had no money for special effects and their Director of Photography told them to just make everything dark because “it’s really your imagination that will scare the shit out of you.”
But the medium also means that in order for the story to be scary, the story and writing need to be excellent. Duchovny pointed out that in an audio drama you can’t depend on props, sets, or fancy special effects to scare people, or to make up for poor acting or poor writing, the words and the way they are delivered are the whole story.
