Curdle Holler
Well, you’re dead. But life goes on… in Curdle Holler, a spooky little town of Halloween characters. Join Bonita and Chip, proprietors of a gift boo-tique, as they learn about their new afterlives and meet the town characters in this original comedy audio mini-series. They may be scary, but the citizens are in for a fright when they realize that the town is in jeopardy.
With Chip’s reputation on the line, he seeks out TV justice with help from Bonita and Belfry, but what’s this? There’s been another sighting of the annex prowler!
Meanwhile, the town’s troubled teens grow impatient with their corn maze duties and sow some seeds of chaos.
As tensions rise, Rotchester and Pumpkin struggle to make a good impression on Mayor Sandy, who is a wilting little bitty dried-up ol worm in the sun who just won’t give Pumpkin that secret taffy recipe.
Will anyone escape the maze? Will Chip and Bonita find the annex prowler? Will we learn their true identity?
“Maybe” to some or all of these things! Listen to find out!
