The Chilling app has seen over 400,000 downloads since its launch in April of 2021.

Upper Darby native, comedian, and actor Jamie Kennedy is launching an app tailored to horror fanatics. The Chilling app serves as a crowdsourced platform for a multitude of ad-free spooky stories. The founder of the app is a YouTuber of the “Being Scared” channel, Dane Petrali, and tech “unicorn” Chris Graham. Escaping the grips of big studio execs, Chilling runs on community-driven content.  

“As we continue to build out the platform, the audiences will be able to interact directly with each other and with creators. Our users are a vital part of the creative process,” said Petrali.  

Contributors to the Chilling app come up with their own original tales that turn into audiobooks and eventually a film or series. Listeners can access hundreds of stories from psychological thrillers to horror classics.  

Voiceover artists who worked on Disney projects, Youtube Channels, and audiobooks narrate these stories. To cultivate a bone-chilling vibe, users can choose an ambient sound to play in the background. They can pick from the sounds of a crackling fire, “chilling rain” or “dark storm”  

“We are trying to build a unique community bringing together, borrowing concepts and best practices from technology and manufacturing to revolutionize the creative process,” said Co-Founder and COO, Christopher Graham. 

This interactive community is attracting horror enthusiasts in droves. The app, which was released in April of 2021, saw 400,000 downloads. Since the platform launched, 200,000 users have joined. It has also raised over $130,000 which exceeded its minimum goal. Downloaders have the option to start a free trial and become paid subscribers for $2.99 a month with unlimited access to stories.
