asdarknessAS DARKNESS FALLS… is a hybrid TV/radio/web anthology series with a horror bent.

Hosted by the inimitable Tucker Smallwood, AS DARKNESS FALLS… is a program a bit different from the norm. It is inspired by such classic radio fare as Arch Oboler’s ‘Lights Out’ and the fondly remembered ‘CBS Radio Mystery Theater’- shows that generated tremendous levels of suspense not through elaborate SFX, but via the human imagination.

However, AS DARKNESS FALLS… offers something that those programs did not: a visual element. Each 30-minute episode is both recorded and filmed in the studio; the video will be
running on the Internet and on Time Warner Channel stations throughout Southern California, while an audio-only version will be available as podcasts and on affiliate radio stations.

In keeping with its deliberately retro feel, AS DARKNESS FALLS… is being filmed in atmospheric black-and-white. It also features live theremin & keyboard fills (courtesy of
Zombie Surf Camp’s Mattzog) and live sound effects by KILNA, who composes our music.

The first episode, ‘That Which Has A Name’, premieres on July 3rd at the stroke of midnight.

AS DARKNESS FALLS… is written, directed & produced by John C. Alsedek, and edited by Raven Kilna.

Is it just me or does this sound like a load of JUST ABOUT ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS EVER!  Especially if all involve succeed.  Here’s their website:  As Darkness Falls….
