Grabbed by the Ghoulies Lost Audio Drama

Grabbed by the Ghoulies Lost Audio Drama

Through much effort, David Jones has resurrected the recorded table read of the first chapter of what was going to be a Grabbed by the Ghoulies audio drama set to be released as a special series in October 2017. This series was written and conceived by Clay Howard and a table read of the first chapter was recorded in early September 2017, with fantastic narration by Jephren Perez. Some of the audio was lost and had to be restore via the magic of robot voices, but it only ends to the charm!

#DKC2is20 Lost Episode

The long-lost episode of the L.O.G. Cast. Originally intended to be the 14th episode of our first season, this would have been the third part of our Donkey Kong Country 2, 20th Anniversary spotlight.

David has tirelessly restored the original surviving audio as best he could to give you a glimpse of what would have been.
