Night at Howling House Part 1: The Dare

The lazy days of summer are at an end and school is about to begin... but for five Arkham youths, reading, writing, and 'rithmetic is the least of their worries. They're spending the night in a notorious abandoned house and local legends say no one has ever lived to tell the tale.Of course, no sane schoolkid would dare to trespass in Howling House, but twelve-year-old Tenderfoot, Tommy "Woods" Northwood, his precocious kid sister Chelsea, and a forlorn little boy known only as "Dirt" don't have a choice. Roger Simmons, the neighborhood bully, and his protégé, Joey Davenport, have the leverage and pugilistic prowess to make a very convincing argument.Will they survive to see the sunrise, or is there something sinister waiting for them in that decrepit domicile?​Content Warning: Violence, harsh language, child endangerment and abuse, bullying, colonialist terminology for and mention of violence towards indigenous peoples, ableist language, alcohol use,and reference to gun violence.Join us in funding our next season: https://cthulhumystery.com/crowdfundThis episode's transcript and full credits are available at: https://www.cthulhumystery.com/howling-house-episode-1"Night at Howling House" Episode 1 - “The Dare” - was written and performed by Luke Stram, Cat Blackard, Chris LeBrane, Manda Bruno, Brandon Gerson, and Colin Peterson, with additional scripting and story editing by Cat Blackard.Cast (In Order of Appearance):Luke Stram as The KeeperColin Peterson as Tommy "Woods" NorthwoodManda Bruno as Chelsea NorthwoodAbigail as Millie PickettDany as Dots PickettAlicia Fuss as Dorothy PickettCat Blackard as Roger SimmonsZachary Fortais-Gomm as Ace SimmonsBrandon Gerson as DirtJonathan West as Dirt's FatherEbonie Ellington as Joey's MotherChris LeBrane as Joey DavenportSawyer Greene as Joey's SisterCynthia Beckert as Grandma Northwood Learn more about your ad choices.
