"When I was kid, I was obsessed with books on tape," said Alex Aldea, the director, producer, and composer of Deadly Manners. "I lived for The Odyssey, The Little Prince, and anything narrated by the father of horror movies, Vincent Price. That's really what laid the foundation for me to get into the audio medium. For Deadly Manners though, we wanted to do an old school audio drama that was pure entertainment, where the audience can get out of their heads for a minute, relax and enjoy themselves. It's a crazy world we are living in right now, and people are reacting in extremes. Deadly Manners is like classic Clue fun."
