Welcome to Tales to Terrify. Good evening, children of the night. Yes, it's the 200th episode. We made it. In the middle of January,

2012, I found a post in the blog Boing Boing by Corey Doctro, announcing a new horror podcast

from the Starship Sofa People called Tales to Terrify. Later that week in my parents' basement

as I worked out, I listened to Larry Santaro,

introduced Martin Munt's narration of his own story, chair, and I was hooked.

Over the next couple of years, I'd listened to this podcast every week.

Then, after one particular call for narrators, I decided I'd give it a go.

Our former editor, Cher, Eves, would

give me stories, and later Larry would announce them. When it came time for Cher to leave, I became

editor. And once Larry passed, I became host. Right along with my journey with the podcast, many

of you have been listeners since day one. Others, we've picked up along the way, and according to an email or two here or there, some of you have joined us quite recently and are working through the 199 episodes prior to this one. A daunting yet heroic feat. All are welcome as we celebrate our 200th. A month or two back, I asked on our Facebook page,

what classic horror story should we air to commemorate this achievement?

We received more answers than we will be airing over the next few weeks.

The ones that didn't make the cut ran afoul of one of the most dangerous monsters

wonderful stories suggested despite the authors having passed on before most of our listeners

had even been born, they are still covered under copyright, and our staff has little successful

experience interacting with estates. And we have no successful experience being sued over a few stories.
