If you’re the kind of person who watches anything remotely scary through the lens of your interlaced fingers held over your eyes, then “The Black Tapes Podcast” will scare the shit out of you, in the best way possible. It’s a “Serial”-esque docudrama investigation into various paranormal disturbances, led by an endearingly earnest reporter, Alex Reagan, who just wants to get to the bottom of these creepy mysteries.
Billed originally as a profile of paranormal investigator Dr. Richard Strand, the story takes a turn for the spOOOoooOoky when Reagan starts to look into the mysterious Black Tapes — a collection of unsolved cases that even Strand can’t debunk. Using testimony from witnesses and interviews with experts, the podcast is so convincing that you almost think it’s real, but don’t be fooled, as I was: the whole thing is really well-executed docudrama, a modern-day War Of The Worlds that’s just scary enough to convince you that it might be real.
