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.\nOf 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 prot\xe9g\xe9, Joey Davenport, have the leverage and pugilistic prowess to make a very convincing argument.\nWill they survive to see the sunrise, or is there something sinister waiting for them in that decrepit domicile?\n\u200bContent 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.\nJoin us in funding our next season: https://cthulhumystery.com/crowdfund\nThis episode's transcript and full credits are available at: https://www.cthulhumystery.com/howling-house-episode-1\n"Night at Howling House" Episode 1 -\xa0\u201cThe Dare\u201d - 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.\nCast (In Order of Appearance):\nLuke Stram as The Keeper\nColin Peterson as Tommy "Woods" Northwood\nManda Bruno as Chelsea Northwood\nAbigail as Millie Pickett\nDany as Dots Pickett\nAlicia Fuss as Dorothy Pickett\nCat Blackard as Roger Simmons\nZachary Fortais-Gomm as Ace Simmons\nBrandon Gerson as Dirt\nJonathan West as Dirt's Father\nEbonie Ellington as Joey's Mother\nChris LeBrane as Joey Davenport\nSawyer Greene as Joey's Sister\nCynthia Beckert as Grandma Northwood\nLearn more about your ad choices.
