Freelance Audiodrama Scriptwriter Wanted: Horror Story
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
We are seeking a talented and imaginative audiodrama scriptwriter to craft a chilling and immersive horror story based on the provided outline. The script will be developed into an audiobook, requiring engaging dialogue, vivid sound design cues, and strong narrative pacing to create a spine-tingling listening experience.
The ideal candidate should have experience in writing horror or thriller scripts, a deep understanding of audio storytelling, and the ability to create atmospheric tension and psychological depth in their writing.
Project Details:
Genre: Horror / Psychological Thriller
Format: Audiodrama script (approx. 30-50 minutes in length)
Tone: Dark, eerie, suspenseful
Setting: Bardejovské Kúpele, a historic spa town known for its healing waters
Deadline: TBD (flexible based on script length and complexity)
Story Description:
Damian Lockwood, a man resigned to his terminal cancer diagnosis, arrives at the secluded spa resort of Bardejovské Kúpele at the insistence of a loved one. The resort, famous for its miraculous healing properties, has a long history of rejuvenating those who partake in its treatments. The therapy consists of drinking the mineral-rich water and undergoing spa baths, a method once praised by historical figures, including Empress Sisi. Patients often claim they feel decades younger after treatment.
However, as Damian undergoes the treatment, he begins to experience strange phenomena—lost time, whispering voices, and disturbing visions. A bartender reveals unsettling legends about the spa’s past, hinting at a sinister secret lurking beneath its waters. As the treatments progress, Damian realizes the horrifying truth: the healing properties come at a terrible price—the spa extracts the soul of the patient and replaces it with another trapped spirit from the water.
Determined to stop the cycle, Damian devises a desperate plan to sabotage the clinic by destroying the underground water supply, releasing the trapped souls. But as the fog thickens over the spa, the battle between life and death intensifies. In the end, while the souls are freed, Damian succumbs to his illness, and the doctor overseeing the spa thrives more than ever. The cursed waters remain, awaiting their next victims.
