Scary FM’s Dark Memory Rebrands as “Horror Story”

by

With almost 90 episodes on the RSS feed, Dark Memory, a podcast about horror, dark history, and hauntings, will rebrand as Horror Story.

This week, Dark Memory announced via its podcast feed, that it will continue under a new name after a few months of strategizing and content planning. Dark Memory has always been about horror, and after a domain acquisition, it will make its home at HorrorStory.com.

“Even though Dark Memory was performing well in its category, it was the perfect time to change before we really establish our branding,” says founder Edwin Covarrubias.

Dark Memory is the third largest show in the Scary FM network and has been the sister show to Scary Story Podcast since the beginning.
