Shorter days and longer nights can work on your mind. After a while, your mind can hear things…, see things…, believe things.
We present for your… consideration, a handful of classic radio plays that will cause a chill that no blanket can overcome.
Pleasant dreams from WCLT….
Escape | A Shipment of Mute Fate | A good story about a deadly snake loose on an ocean liner. Jack Webb is excellent as the narrator, the sound of the snake strike is very well-done. | 10/15/1947 |
Leiningen Vs. The Ants | A determined man battles even more determined insects in the tropical jungles. | 05/23/1948 | |
Hall of Fantasy | The Crawling Thing | A scientist uses a deadly spider to experiment with his growth serum. It works all too well. | 05/18/1953 |
Inner Sanctum Mysteries | Song of the Slasher | A good story about a cop who discovers that he’s living in the same building with a homicidal maniac. | 04/24/1945 |
The Judas Clock | Death comes to those who own this clock. It uses Judas’ thirty pieces of silver as counterweights! | 04/17/1945 | |
Mercury Theater of the Air | War of the Worlds | The most famous radio show of all time. Mars invades New Jersey. | 10/30/1938 |
Suspense | The Dunwich Horror | A confusing story about a monster loose in the countryside. Ronald Colman should never be cast as a radio announcer! The production features well done sound effects. | 11/01/1945 |
