Springfield Is Hell-Adjacent

Send us Fan Mail Episode 8 of Illinois Hell Hole, the full-cast horror comedy audio drama, where a cursed cornfield in central Illinois collects its debts with interest. Over a pair of ten a.m. whiskeys at the Busted Bottle, a reformed Rabin Masterson sets out to save his great-great-grandson's soul. Life is precious, he swears. There is still hope. There is wifi! And so, with the best of intentions, he asks Ned the most dangerous question in the county: what do you wish for? Out in the corn, Lenore stands alone at the lip of the bottomless pit, demanding answers from the dark. But the dark has been listening, and something down there has grown very, very curious about her. Elsewhere, Ned's wildest dreams begin, at long last, to come true. But in Illinois Hell Hole, nobody gets something for nothing, and every wish is paid for in full. Then winter falls like a funeral shroud over Springfield. The jack-o'-lantern rots beneath the snow. And the town psychic comes knocking, carrying a premonition that cannot be unsaid. One episode remains. The pit is patient. The pit is hungry. And it is coming for its due.
