## What is Horror Hours?

Fall asleep to horror stories, with white noise underneath.

400+ narrated scary stories in chapters, no ads. Sleep-safe ones have no jump scares or sudden loud moments.

Layer white, pink or brown noise, a fan, rain, a storm or ocean waves under any story, each at its own level, or play the sounds alone for free.

Horror Hours is a horror story app built for the one time you actually listen to them — in the dark, in bed, with the lights off.

Every story is narrated and cut into chapters, so you always know where you are and can pick up exactly where you drifted off. Hundreds of tales, from creeping small-town dread to cosmic deep-water horror, read by voices that know how to hold a room at 2 a.m.

THE PART no other horror app gets right: sleep.
Turn on Sleep Mode and the whole app changes. Stories are mastered flat — no sudden loud stings, no jump scares to yank you awake. The screen dims and warms so the last thing you see isn't a wall of blue light. Set a timer and the story fades gently into a bed of ambience instead of snapping to silence.

Build the room you want to fall asleep in. Layer rain on a tin roof, a distant thunderstorm, a fire, wind across a field — as many as you like, each at its own level, all running under the story at once. Speed only ever touches the narration; the rain never speeds up.

"Continue the night" keeps you going. When a story ends and you're still awake, the next one queues itself by mood and category, shorter as the night gets later, sleep-safe when you're in Sleep Mode. A single tap can turn one story into eight hours.

- Hundreds of narrated horror stories, chapterized and searchable
- Sleep-safe stories, badged: no jump scares. No ad breaks, ever.
- Sleep timer with a gentle fade, and a 9-hour all-night session
- Layered ambience: white, pink and brown noise, fan, rain, thunder, ocean, fire, forest, wind — stack them
- Continue the night: automatic, mood-matched autoplay
- Download for offline, adjustable speed, CarPlay and lock-screen controls
- A private scorecard for the nights you keep — no leaderboards, no sharing

### 5/5 — surprisingly pleased

### 5/5 — This is the best app!

*2026-10-17*

This app is amazing!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-10-17*

The stories are really good and it actually helps me fall asleep. Perfect for anyone who loves a little horror before bed

### 5/5 — MrCreepyPasta is on here??

*2026-10-16*

Grew up on his videos so I had to try it. Didn’t expect the music to make that much of a difference but it does. I listen every night now. Fair warning, The Ruin Game messed with me and I looked at my group chat differently the next day

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-10-15*

Gave me three day free trial and every time I press any story a payment add pops up

**Developer response:** Thanks for trying Horror Hours, and sorry for the frustration. Your 3 free nights start once you confirm the free trial in Apple's pop-up. Until then, tapping a story brings the offer screen back. Once it's confirmed, every story plays with no pop-ups, and you won't be charged during your 3 nights. You can cancel anytime in Settings before they end. We've also updated that screen to explain this more clearly. If you did confirm and still see the offer, tap Restore purchases in the Me tab, or email us at contact@cloutopstechnologies.com and we'll sort it out.

### 5/5 — Soothing to listen to at night

*2026-10-07*

Love it
