RAS #614 – The Organ

More scary stuff on the show this week as we continue The Month Of Spooky 2023. We have another Lights Out story from Arch Oboler. This time it is a traditional ghost story. A family rents an old mansion for two months for only a hundred dollars. That should send up red flags! To say this one a freaky adventure is an understatement. Also on the show we have more of your stories including another installment of These Are Your Stories – Special Edition.

Featured Story – The Organ

Our featured story comes from Arch Olober and his old time radio series Lights Out. A family rents a ghostly old Victorian mansion from Service Supreme for two months. The cost is only 100 hundred dollars. Cheap even in the 1930s. But what will be the real cost? And what does the Oboler sense of horror have in store for us? You won’t believe the result. It is titled simply, Organ, and it first aired on May 12, 1937.

Other Stories Include – Monsters Under My Bed, It Sounded Like A Puppy, The Flames Of Ghosts, The Organ, and Ghost In Cascadia State Park

RAS #613 – Author And The Thing

The Spooky continues this week with a story about Arch Oboler and his battle with writer’s block. How scary can that be? Oboler was the man that came with a warning, these stories are not for the timid soul. Ron reviews the audiobook Ghosts, Goblins, Murder, & Madness. This anthology of stories has some of the most frightening tales you’ll ever hear. We will continue the scary stuff with a collection of your stories guaranteed to send chills down your spine. Also, on the podcast 12 year-old Rhonda Elliott from San Antonio shares her own Halloween story in a work of fiction titled, Out Of Gas. So why not press that play button and enjoy the show.

Featured Story – Author And The Things

Our featured story ties in with last week. On that podcast (#612 – Murder In The Script Department) we looked at the copywriter’s of Lights Out. This time we head into the very mind that created the show and what happens to him. Arch Oboler not only produced and directed the radio plays, but he wrote them as well. In fact he wrote (or maybe a better word is experienced) the story you’ll hear. It’s a tale of writer’s block turned into horror and first aired on September 9, 1943.

Other Stories Include – Out Of Gas, Ghosts Goblins Murder & Madness – A Review, The White Cat’s Bones, My Beloved Black Cat, Author And The Thing, and A Ghoul’s Accountant

RAS #612 – Murder In The Script Department

The Month Of Spooky 2023 continues with more amazing stories. The first comes from Oliver Robertson who is a ghost hunter from New York. His team investigates The William Floyd Estate and what they encounter isn’t human. Our featured story is from Arch Oboler and Lights Out. This time we visit his world and folks in the script department. Next, in a special edition of These Are Your Stories, Mary got together with me on the phone to tell the tale, The Thing At The Bottom Of The Stairs. We end the show with, Johnny Is It True – Your Stories II. A collection of quick stories. So press that play Button and enjoy the show.

Featured Story – Murder In The Script Department

Our featured story is titled Murder In The Script Department. It comes from the demented mind of Arch Oboler and his OTR horror series Lights Out. It should make you wonder what life was really like in the script department at Light’s Out. Was Oboler a true master of the macabre? Were his stories based on real events? This one might make you think they were. It first aired on May 5, 1943.

Other Stories Include – It’s Halloween, Classic Tales of Ghosts, The William Floyd Estate, Murder In The Script Department, The Thing At The Bottom Of The Stairs, and Johnny Is It True – Your Stories II

Featured Story – Our featured story is unique, creepy and comes from one of the superstars of old time radio Arch Oboler.

What we have is titled We Dug It Up and it reminds us that it just might be better to leave things underground. It first appeared on Lights Out, February 9, 1943

RAS #610 – The Horror Of Dead Lake

This is the first podcast of The Month Of Spooky 2023. On Ron’s Amazing Stories we have a tale from Rose about an old man hanging out on her porch. Then we head to Captain Doubloon’s Castle for an OTR classic tale from CBS Radio Mystery Theater. This is an extended story that should have you squirming like a worm. I am excited about the month and I think it is time to press that play button and enjoy.

Featured Story – The Horror Of Dead Lake

Our featured story for this time is the stuff of nightmares. Sometimes science gives us amazing breakthroughs. However, sometimes they produce monsters. The story is titled The Horror Of Dead Lake. It comes from the third season of CBS Radio Mystery Theater and it has been suggested to be the most horrific of all of them. Upon hearing of their inheritance, Claude and Polly Baxter are thrilled to be the proud new owners of Captain Doubloon’s Castle and its mysterious lake. Is it a find or folly? This one first aired on CBS radio on February 9, 1976.

Other Stories Include – Murder In The Tomb, Our First Halloween, and The Horror of Dead Lake
