About

'Scarlet Vault Presents' is an umbrella title for a couple of no-budget British independent podcast series.

Tales from the Scarlet Vault: Confront the supernatural in this gothic horror anthology, narrated by a mysterious lone voice. Each story explores the strange and sinister relics hidden in the depths of a secret archive.

The Matlock Tapes: A chilling sci-fi horror audiodrama presented in found-footage style and inspired by vintage British classics like Quatermass.

Heads-up, brave listener: Some episodes feature strong language, mature themes, brief sexual content and disturbing imagery.

What are you waiting for? Step inside!



Welcome friend, to the Scarlet Vault. Oh, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you. Unless you’d like me to?

I don’t quite know how you got in here. You should never have made it past the threshold. But you’re here, and I’m a little lonely and full of tales to tell, so perhaps we’ll overlook your trespassing, just this once.

You’ve ascertained the nature of this place, I take it? But it’s much more than just a museum of terrors. Locked away for safekeeping behind these red doors are mysterious items that are too powerful, too dangerous to exist. I am their custodian, and the guardian and protector of this collection. I warn you. If you have plans on stealing – or even touching – any of these items, you’ll have to deal with me first, and believe me – my bite is far worse than my bark.

If you want to leave, I suggest you do so now, while you still have the opportunity and possession of your soul. If not, I’ll give you the tour, if you’re interested? There’s so much to see here.

A book that must never be read.  The empty portrait of a man who has escaped the confines of the canvas. A ceremonial urn containing the remains of the last great vampire. The bullet that ended a supernatural romance.

All of these items and more await you. And every item has a story. Perhaps you’d like to hear one?
