Spooky fun!
Found this recommendation through a Magnus Archives thread. It’s a really fun, spooky listen. I love the relationship between the guys, and how they include pop culture references in their conversations like so many of us do. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds! Great show!

really love this show!!!
so good and SO creepy!! the characters are really fun and real, and the slow-burn horror really works. i’ve laughed, i’ve jumped with the jump scares, and i can’t wait for more! would totally recommend
so FUN and so SPOOKY. well acted, well written, and so perfectly eases you into the scares and i’ve been spooked by some jumps on more than one occasion. there are some moments that feel so real and charming. awesome vibe! but will definitely pause and think before stepping into dark basements now lol. absolutely recommend this show to anyone who enjoys having fun and being spooked!!! can’t wait for more. (also there’s a dog??? amazing)

Amazing!
I listen to a lot of horror podcasts, and this one may be a new favorite. I love how silly and serious it can be, and how it blends the two together. In addition it has managed to fill the hole in my heart left behind by TMA Steve and Nate are both hilarious and kinda relatable, really cool character and story overall.

Really funny and terrifying!
I love how the creators have managed to blend both comedy and horror into a very cool combo. Also I love the story format and the characters are very relatable!

Utterly terrifying
Exactly why basements are horrifying. Every basement fear realized😂 That being said, from the first episode I was on the edge of my seat. The main character is a typical average Joe too, so totally relatable. Eery!

Best New Podcast of the Year!
Absolutely fantastic! Characters you like, great setting and creepy as could possibly be! My only complaint is that the overall sound could use a bit of compression/limiting. The audio peaks are way above the average sound level, it’s not so bad on headphones but listening through a good stereo system requires some serious tweaking, otherwise it’s perfect!

Spine chilling
This podcast is horrifying, I can’t believe that they included putting pizza rolls in the microwave. 🤢 who does that??? Absolute scariest part of this whole show. A fun and scary podcast that has a nice balance of humor and horror. I do recommend listening with headphones on, in a quiet place. I do not recommend listening at max volume, since there is a fair amount of slamming and shouting as you delve into the series. Can’t wait for more >:]

Spooky & silly
I love the spooky storyline, I’m invested in the characters, and the humor is awesome. Sound quality is bad, but that makes it more authentic? I can’t wait for more episodes!!
Never enter the basement. Or the cellar. But if you do, bring this pod along to scare the bejeezus out of you. You will not be disappointed unless that's your thing.
Brilliant, spooky, well-acted. A must-listen in every regard.
Great fun! Genuine intrigue with some pretty charming humor to boot. Very curious to see where it goes.

Fantastic
Great sound, great actors and compelling story. Loved it!

5*’s
Chilling. Funny. Fantastic. A phenomenal new(ish) podcast, give it a listen. You won’t regret it!

Creepy Funny suspenseful... I LOVE IT!!!!
Love these guys! New fave for sure!! Best theme song ever AND Fuck Jim!! 😉😉 I love the humor mixed into a wonderful suspenseful horror cast. 👍❤️

My new favorite podcast
This podcast is awesome! Creepy storyline with great acting and definitely some funny moments. Keep it up guys. Thoroughly enjoying this!
This is a really fun horror podcast. It's like a cross between a drunken Marble Hornets and the Dionaea House, but as a full cast audiodrama. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't give it a listen.

Creepy!!
Going to make this short and sweet-LOVE IT!

Weird and Creepy
I first heard about this podcast on Reddit and checked it out. I’m so glad I did. I listened to 12 ep’s in one sitting and now I can’t wait for the next! Awesome awesome awesome and thanks for creeping me out and entertaining me during work.

Fantastic
My husband heard about this today and said to me "it's right up your alley". And it is. I'm at work (graphic design, so lots of time to listen uninterrupted), and on the 5th episode already. I've had to take out the earbuds three times now, due to the creep factor (and this office building is haunted, so perfect setting). The sound engineering is amazing, the acting is incredible. Please keep this going - wonderful work!!

SO GOOD
I'm so excited to be the first person to review this show on Apple podcasts (and am also blown away that nobody has reviewed such an amazing show). This show is traditional slow burn creepy. Like that feeling when you're in the dark by yourself and you get goosebumps for no reason... Like that underlying "oh no" feeling when you hear footsteps in the house where you're hanging out...Alone. The Cellar Letters is not just a horror though. It's got some great gems of jokes that make me giggle every time. The audio improves as the season good on but the acting remains on fleek the whole way through. Definitely listen with headphones and be prepared to be enveloped in this amazing story!

Really enjoyed
Awesome work! Really enjoyed the story and the characters. Very well done.
So I started the show expecting a serious ghost chasing show, for some weird reason. What I got was two 'bros' freakin out over ghosts... I love it! It's got good story progression, keeps me interested, and I'm super interested in seeing what happens next! Keep it going!

Your next horror binge
This is the first truly binge-worthy show that I stumbled onto at the very beginning, so instead of binging I keep an eye on my feed and drop everything when a new episode comes out. It’s a great mix of creeping horror and humor that I don’t know how they get so right. The production has just the right amount of raw to match the context of two dudes going through some stuff with a recorder. Listen carefully for the just barely audible whispers at times and you’ll be rewarded with some of the show’s scariest moments. The episodes are relatively short but have good replay value. Every time a new one comes out I re-listen to the previous one first to get a full 20-30 minutes of cellar letters goodness and often end up catching things I missed before. If you enjoy shows like Video Palace you’ll be glad you found this one.

Love it
The story really drew me in. I've loved seeing this come along. Great podcast

Bingeworthy Fiction
I listened to all 11 episodes in one morning. I really enjoyed the relationship between the characters.
This podcast scared me so bad! It was a lot of fun listening to it, I'm very excited for more! And there's a dog!!!!

Great plot
I’m enjoying this so far. Binged the first 4 episodes quickly and now just waiting on more.

Pleasantly surprised
Went into the podcast blind, no idea what to expect. Kinda cool, I like the storyline, and the idea is pretty boss. I like the unknowns of the podcast, it makes me think about what’s going to happen next. Looking forward to the next episode!

Has me wanting more!
Came across this podcast hoping for an interesting story, which is exactly what I found! The first episode drew me in and I’m very excited to see this story unfold!!
