Halloween Radio Treasures from the late 1930s and 1940s

Orson Welles "War of the World"

I know that everyone is prepare for Halloween tomorrow night. Many of you
who have followed me for this decade-plus  know that on previous incarnation of this web
site I would create a kind creepy welcome page and fun Halloween theme each
year.



Well, since these newer servers limit ones' personal creativity, I decided
to add the following classic radio shows from 1938 to 1949.

The first two are Orson Welles narrations, and include
the famous "War of the World" by H.G. Wells from 1938, which had the power
to terrorize  a nation. The second story,
The Shadow -- "The Mark Of The Bat" first aired in 1948.

This third story is a Suspense radio classic entitled,
"Ghost Hunt" and was narrated in 1949 by Ralph Edwards and Paul
Frees. The Suspense radio series was played on CBS.

This fourth one is from 1947 and is called "The
Shadow -- "The Werewolf Of Hamilton Mansion"" and is narrated by Orson
Welles and Bret Morrison.

 

For the fifth and final story here is one from the
Inner Sanctum radio classic collection entitled, "Corridor of Doom" and
is narrated by Boris Karloff in 1945.

There you have them, a few of radio's best. I hope
you enjoy these radio greats as I do.

Happy
Ghouling!
