"No One Comes Up Here" award winning horror FULL CAST AUDIO DRAMA ― Chilling Tales for Dark Nights

[@kc_cobra]

Really unlikeable characters and didn't enjoy the story but great voices and production as always.

[@ShatteredPsyche]

People like the character of Brad in this story infuriate me: they are the worst of society, the make life less enjoyable for everyone with whom they interact, and yet, if I set them on fire, *I'm* the bad guy. Stupid anti-flamethrower laws...

[@sarahjustsarah3640]

This is why you feed them to plant monsters... or wood chippers. Either way, less evidence.

[@WiiVampire17]

ShatteredPsyche except brad had a reason to be pissed....the main character was betting his life and the lives of everyone else on some random article he read....and in the end everyone died because the main character thought this would be a neat way to earn some cash....if you don't know how the hell you are gonna get out of some mysterious place that nobody's ever gone to and nobody knows a thing about....why even go in the first place?!

[@ShatteredPsyche]

Austin Cooper The protagonist *knew* he'd fucked up; what exactly did Brad berating him accomplish? Fuck all. People like Brad may be justified in their anger from time to time, but whenever they vent it they are *not* constructive, they do *not* help, and they succeed only in making a bad situation even worse. I guarantee you Brad gets equally angry at a barista who screws up his coffee order as he did during this story. I have met people of this ilk, and they have only one mode: "insufferable cunt".

[@WiiVampire17]

it's hard to be constructive when the guy you are following barely gives you a reason to trust him

[@WiiVampire17]

but we're talking about a modern age and taking advice from a newspaper that uses the word "Predicted" when it comes to finding a way out is a quick way to die....

[@jerimcmakin6154]

Just the hands down best voice acting. Thank you for your passion and excellence in delivering these stories to us😊

[@ShatteredPsyche]

So, I thoroughly enjoyed that story, and I certainly understand its selection as the best of this competition. That said... *SPOILERS FOLLOW* I despised the ending: had it ended with the creature saying "no one comes up here", that would've made a fantastic, impactful climax; but as it stands, with a character narrating their own demise from a first-person perspective...that is simply awful, and requires just a touch more suspension of disbelief than I was prepared to provide.

[@a1be31s8x9]

ShatteredPsyche I like your idea of ending on that line

[@Athen239]

I agree as well.

[@ShatteredPsyche]

Thank you both. As a writer, such praise means much.

[@UnkemptCube]

ShatteredPsyche Yup, would've definitely been a more impactful climax. I never do understand how a character could write down their own death.

[@wreathofpalmaria]

***** WE are our minds. Our mind is us. what our minds "make" us do is what we "WANT" to do.

[@sarahjustsarah3640]

For a minute there, I thought the main character would survive because the beast wanted to make more little monsters with him. But this was not the case, which makes the title take on a new meaning for me. Pervy puns aside, this one was fun. The narrator has a lovely voice, and I love it when a story has more than one voice actor involved.

[@therealsmalk]

I would give this a 6/10. The first three-fourths of the story were pretty good, but the ending was a major disappointment. If it had ended with something like, the creature smiling and saying "Nobody comes up here..." might have been good. Otherwise, I enjoyed this.

[@therealsmalk]

*****​ Yeah, that could have made it more interesting.

[@Athen239]

***** I was thinking that too!

[@jasonscarborough94]

This guys' a real Lovecraft protagonist, in over his head, and to busy trying to describe the indescribable to save himself.

[@bruggeman672]

Maybe because he knows that is all he is leaving behind.....

[@rewatteefroimchuk8589]

The story was very fast paced and i enjoyed the performances, thank you CTFDN!💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@cpthetas488]

in the begging he's like "why did we come up here If you don't know the way down" I'm like why did you come with him in the first place if it's such a bad idea? honestly it was kind of annoying

props to whoever wrote this it was pretty creative

[@brandonbradley7423]

James sounds like Ramsay Snow from Game of Thrones. Slight lisp and British accent perhaps attributed to it but it was fun picturing Ramsay trotting through the woods in this story.

[@douwantsumfukincocaine6578]

[@robsantana39]

My brother won 2nd place in august 2014 contest. I liked his a lot more due to the Lovecraftian undertones, but I enjoyed this one immensely, minus the ending, of course.

[@CaptainFrightNite]

Amazing job to both writer and everyone involved. Amazing as always. :)

[@shanefinn5236]

great story

[@WALKUREX]

CCP approves of your narration and will not be censoring your content

[@geoffreyfey3375]

I've listened to this story for years and for some reason I always thought he was saying "Charnal Mountain" and I'd always think to myself--"Yeah, if you're going to someplace called Charnal Mountain/Slaughter Valley/Decapitation Peak I don't know why you'd be surprised if it was a dangerous place"

[@dallasstar93]

I just subscribed and this is spooky amazing!!^_^

[@CherrykoRock]

It was a good tale except for the end. Written POV issues not withstanding it was oddly paced. Plenty of good build up and tension along with some nice atmosphere ultimately bogged down with what I feel is a rushed ending. Now that my plot grievances are out of the way the descriptions and actual writing were very well done and it was easy to imagine the location as well as character details. It's an awesome effort nonetheless and I hope they keep writing and improving their craft!

[@ulyssesnorth6843]

good listen

[@johngalt969]

"There woz like masssiv number of trees ay." went a bit east end there for a tick. Ok, maybe it's not the narrator, but rather the writer who keeps dropping 'a'. A massive number of trees. Etc.

[@stanleymk19baum14]

awsome but... the ending. if everyone died where dose the story come from. hows it being told. messes up the submersiveness alittle but damn good job guys that was good work.

[@uruku777]

How was he able to tell the story?

[@HisDudeness2020]

Great story! My only question is, if the narrator was eaten, how is he telling the story???🤔

[@tmrezzek5728]

Good story for ages 5 - 8. However, for Walking Tree entertainment, I highly recommend a movie called 'From Hell It Came' (1957) which has a MUCH cooler tree, because in the movie the tree is not only radioactive, but ALSO tosses people into quicksand while lusting after a female scientist.

[@slapstick20124]

There goes my want to go hiking ............Thanks

[@HiggzWasHere]

The reading was good but the story itself is lacking alot in my opinion.

[@viciousservant5151]

What a nice story ;u;

[@skylermaves7272]

Take a shot every time the narrator says 'I noticed.'

"brad if you don't shut up I'll throw you down the cliff." weird i caught myself thinking the samething lol. then again i wouldn't be stupid enough to involve my friends and myself in that situation, especially not for money.

that was definately different well done

"Save this one for mummy" And if we refuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????

[@TheBlackDogChronicles]

I don't know if this story was written to be read on KZbin, but there are some challenges with the performance. The are times when a quality of the voices is described in the text, but not brought into the performance, like at 6:34, where a voice is supposed to come out "cracked and unconvincing" and simply doesn't. So, this is either a difficulty brought up by the writer unnecessarily forecasting the actor's performance, or the performers not delivering what the text is asking for. There were quite a few examples of this, so that I did not end listening to the conclusion. Also, I found the style too heavy in description and not enough development of empathy for the characters. The enjoyment in such a story is to care for what is going to happen. In my listening, this was not achieved. However, all credit for putting something like this together. It takes a lot of organisation and editing, not to mention the sound design.

[@ezekiellynn3214]

The creature was so cliche it made me laugh. "Long limbs,extremely tall,unnatural movement". The whole story was pretty cliche really,mysterious news paper,doing something stupid for prize money,the whole "this place is creepy and wrong shit",stuff like that for example. The fact that the leader dies is bogus as well. If he died how does anyone know this story?

[@storytellernylan9157]

I enjoyed this story. And what's wrong with a first person narrative where they die? Why does there always have to be a written account of events? The 'memoir/journal entry" theme gets boring. I say congratulations to the author and hope they continue to write.

[@jacktemple2072]

Sceptics of how a narrator who died posts his own story, this is easy obviously. The monster allowed the narrator time to write out and proof read the story, ate them and posted it online. Probably reddit.

[@roy5al]

Rule number one of writing a creepypasta or the like, is to never kill off the narrating character. That was what ruined this story for me, because he can’t be telling his story if he’s dead.

It kinda reminds me of Coraline. The Other Mother.

A good story although they reach the top of a long climb to archive their goal , within the first 5 mins they are fighting about how to get down 😆 lol well you climbed up turn round and climb back the way you came ? It’s a safe bet that anyone who goes on an expedition of any kind doesn’t expect to just call a cab home when they get there .
