From the group that brought you Night Terrors comes Five Minute Fears.

We've taken horror and suspense and brought it to you in bite sized chunks. Want to enjoy a chiller, thriller or a killer, but don't have the time for a half hour show, then enjoy our series of mini shows that will keep you on the edge of your seat right from the beginning.

We present, for an audio snack, a series of 3 to 7 minute plays in the horror and suspense genres.
