Rebel Audio presents · The Halloween scary story contest
Stream now. Scream later.
This Halloween, Rebel Audio wants your scariest story. Bring the one you only tell with the lights off, record it with our tools, and start your storytelling journey here.
- ’Tis the season to be spooky
- Scream now, stream later
- Lights off. Mics on.
- Fear has a frequency
How it works
Three minutes. One mic. Zero lights.
Dig up your story
Campfire legend, family ghost story, the thing that happened at the lake house. Original, two to ten minutes, told in your own voice.
Record it in Rebel Audio
No studio. No editing chops. Hit record, tell it like you mean it, and let Rebel help you shape it into an episode.
Publish. Share. Haunt.
Submit it here before midnight on Halloween, Central Time, and share it with #StreamNowScreamLater.
Pick your poison
Three ways to scare us
Campfire classic
The slow build. The long pause. The twist that makes someone grab the person next to them.
True(ish) story
It happened to you. Or your cousin. Or your cousin’s roommate. We won’t check.
Two-minute shiver
Two minutes. Maximum dread. Built for the scroll, made to be shared.
