The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society

The Society has wandered into the creepy forest known as Dark Fantasy and come face to face with…The Demon Tree! In this story, a group of decadent English(-ish) travelers abandon the dull monotony of high-stakes gambling for a pulse-pounding walk in a forest! Does being a tree undermine the horror of a giant murderous monster? Is quicksand a problem in England? Do the English typically narrate their own cause of death as they die? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think:

Celebrate Halloween with the Society and Inner Sanctum Mystery! This week we listen to A Corpse for Halloween, a twisted tale of bizarre psychological horror. It features the shameless puns and sardonic style of Paul McGrath (in the spirit of his predecessor, Raymond Edward Johnson). Is having a severed head delivered to you ever not scary? Why would you accept a tiger cub offered to you by a stranger? Does Eric have a predilection for Mercedes McCambridge? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think:

This week, the Society crosses paths with The Shadow and there's a lot of excitement over the mysterious crimefighter! This episode features a script written by Alonzo Deen Cole, creator of The Witch's Tale. Is the story worth all the Shadow nerd love or have our minds been clouded? Is gibbering inherently scary? Monkeys? In New Hampshire? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think:

Join the Society for a visit to The Black Museum! Orson Welles was the host of this unique anthology of crime stories inspired by real events. “The Gas Receipt” is based on the case of Frederick Browne and William Kennedy—a grisly murder archived in Scotland Yard's legendary Crime Museum. Although the museum is normally only open to law enforcement, some of the disturbing exhibits were recently displayed at the Museum of London! How does the gas receipt fit into this story? How does this show compare to modern police procedurals? Did someone record Orson Welles taking a nap? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think:

Old Nancy from The Witch's Tale provides the Society with this week's episode, The Devil Doctor! The Witch's Tale was the first horror series ever produced for radio, and writer/director Alonzo Deen Cole set the standard for everything that was to follow. Is this show an innovative work of frenzied genius or does the mad pace push the story from horror to farce? Can a character be defined both by reason and faith? Is this cast actually receiving rewrites as they perform? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think:

The Society travels to Dimension X for this week's episode—an adaptation of Ray Bradbury's The Veldt! Imagine a strange dystopia where children are more interested in the virtual world provided by their technology than they are in the real…oh. Do modern conveniences diminish the human experience?

Only three episodes in and all the rules have been thrown out the window. Join the Society as they listen to an episode of the BBC's The Price of Fear from…1974? That's long after the end of the Golden Age of Radio! What's going on? Can theme stand in the place of plot? Has Vincent Price carried the torch of classic radio horror into the 70's?
