Project Overview
Broodhollow is a cosmic horror adventure, set in the 1930's during the Great Depression. It tells the story of Wadsworth Zane, a down-and-out encyclopedia salesman struggling to make a living in these tough times. After receiving a letter notifying him of a relative's passing, Zane travels to the small town of Broodhollow to settle his Great-Uncle's estate. However, circumstances cause Zane to remain in the town longer than he planned, and much longer than he desired.
The Broodhollow Fandub Project aims to bring the beloved webcomic to life through audio and video editing. We are beginning with Book One: Curious Little Thing. The first episode will be released in Early June via YouTube, and will be followed by a new episode every other week. Auditions for characters in Book Two: Angleworm will be held roughly halfway through Season 1, and is planned to be released during the Fall.
