Bloody Disgusting, the horror division of Cineverse, has announced a landmark partnership with Storm King Productions to develop and launch two original scripted podcasts under the “John Carpenter Presents” banner. The first chilling installment, “John Carpenter Presents: Something Wicked,” is available now.
The eight-episode scripted series, created by Read W. Ridley and produced by 12 Angry Bears, with executive producer Sandy King, follows a young historian and a seasoned detective as they investigate paranormal crimes in New Orleans. Inspired by real events, the series blends supernatural horror with investigative drama.
“Storm King Productions got its start in podcasting with ‘Roanoke Falls,’ and it’s a form we’ve wanted to revisit,” said Sandy King, CEO of Storm King Productions. “Read Ridley brought us a compelling story rooted in New Orleans, drawing on local talent and the genuine spooky atmosphere of bayou folklore. It’s a story that provides a grand way for our return to fiction podcasting. John and I are thrilled to partner with Cineverse to do that.”
In addition to “Something Wicked,” Bloody Disgusting and Storm King Productions are already in production on a second original fiction podcast under the Carpenter label, with details expected to emerge in the coming months.
“John Carpenter Presents: Something Wicked” will be available on all major podcast platforms.
