Re: Things lots of people are scared of that don't scare you at all

[fishnchips]

If certain media that people get scared by count:
Most if not all horror podcasts. For me, a lot of them alternate between "Yeah... not actually scary" and "more gross than scary" and I rarely find a story in one of the anthology type podcast that actually creeps me out. Same with horror books - reading horror never scares me.

It's strange, though, in the case of podcasts. I'm usually someone who is very fixated on voices and audio stuff (take the sound away from a creepy movie and it loses all creep factor), but horror podcasts (or audio books etc.) leave me cold for the most part.
Especially some fairly popular ones like The Black Tapes are just... boring and not scary at all.

I have finally gotten to the point where I think I genuinely like The Black Tapes as opposed to just continuing to listen out of curiosity about where the hell this story is going (I think it's because I started listening to Tanis, which makes TBTP seem really well put-together in comparison), but oh god their sound design is abysmal. "Wait, did you hear that spooky noise on the recording?" "Yes, but I couldn't distinguish it from the random spooky noises you pepper through every bit of every episode so I didn't know it was actually an in-universe spooky noise."

I couldn't get into Tanis because when I tried to listen to the pilot, basically every fourth word was "Tanis" and it got on my nerves so much that I stopped listening after a while...

I agree, the story on TBTP is getting better now that they started tying a few of the plot threads together. Still not creepy, imo, but kinda interesting. I think the main reason I can't really get into it is because I'm not that fond of Alex and because, as you said, the sound design is... questionable at times.

The only time I ever found the sound design in TBTP scary was with Simon's knocking. The sleep diary episodes were some of my favorite, just because they didn't have any stock cave-door-opening sound effects! I wish they'd lay off of those, but I know that's not gonna happen. :(
