On the podcast this week we have a story from the creative mind of Arch Obler. He was the director and producer of the OTR series Light’s Out. The story is called Valse Triste. I can’t confirm this but it appears to have been inspired by Sibelius’ “Valse triste” (Sad Waltz). Originally composed for a 1903 production of the play Kuolema (Death) by Arvid Järnefelt, the waltz captures the sense of haunting memories recollected in old age.
Our story is a horror tale where two women are faced with a madman who has to make a choice, which of them will live. It is horror at its best and has the Obler twist that you won’t see coming. I really don’t know when this version aired, but the original aired on March 3, 1938.
Also on the show this week we have more of your stories, my thoughts on the article A Journey Through the Brain’s Reaction to Fear by Marcy Arnold, A review of the audiobook Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, and a special Johnny Is It True on Phobias.
