A life changing adventure
It was a blindingly sunny day, 100+ degrees and 100% humidity in March. (MARCH!!) I was on my way home after a long day at work, thinking about mortality, how awful life can be, pondering "feeding the pig" so to speak, when I remembered that a coworker at the call center suggested these blokes called the "Terror Files". As I sat down in my sun-bleached car, skin sticking to the crusted leather interior, burning at the touch of the black plastic wheel, air-conditioning neither truly dead nor truly alive, I took a few extra moments before pulling out of the parking lot to download the first few episodes. "What the heck" I remember thinking... And as I pulled into bumper-to-bumper traffic, the show began. Holy flapjacks, what a show it is! What a goddarn masterpiece of perfection! These guys, who are apparently a huge international hit were masters of their craft, even before they made it. Forget the Black Tapes, forget the Ghost Hunters, don't even get me started about the ghost busters(!), Terror Files are the best ghost hunting group ever! Their show, which is 100% real, despite folks claiming that they're not actually from Scotland (which they are indeed from Scotland) is the audio equivalent of snorting an aerosolized Jack Daniels while simultaneously skiing down Mount Everest and fighting a bear with a lightsaber! They will take you places, scary places! I'm not talking about sci-fi worlds with cannibals and fictional Tales of fictional crud in Towers, or even historical goddarn fiction about time travel or westerns, i'm talking about the darkest corners of the actual Earth; places where the sun don't shine and the moon is even a little reluctant to show half it's a** on a good night! This show is gripping, epic, fear-inspiring! These are not the Small Town Horrors you and your granny grew up with, these are terrors like Alpin the mother-loving Disemboweler, and creepy islands with horrors too messed up to even mention in this review!!! Not to mention whatever the hell they have planned for Season 2! This show has changed my LIFE! It helped me get a promotion, it's how I met my wife (a fellow terror files enthusiast), and bought a new car and house! It will leave you Sleepless, entertain you, inspire you, and help you find the courage to get through your own bleak existence knowing that somewhere out there in Scotland there's a dog that looks like the flipping guy from the Life Aquatic! From their charming patron Bruce (who the local papers seem to have it out for, but who seems like a great guy), to Lee and even Douggie, the show's cast show great humility, despite being international super-stars. Here's to hoping they continue to make more stories now that their first season has concluded and don't fall into the trappings the celebrity status brings! Do yourself a favor and listen to this show today! ...Also, they have a great choice in sponsors... According to a friend...Read full review »
