RAS #300 – Old Time Horror VII

On this episode of Ron’s Amazing Stories we celebrate our 300th episode. Jim Harold joins us for some fun and discussion. Also, we have one of the scariest old time radio programs ever told in the history of the the golden age of radio.

Our OTR Story – The House on Old Man’s Bluff

Our OTR tale comes from the classic horror series, The Hermit’s Cave. It is called, The House on Lost Man’s Bluff. This episode easily stands among the best and most disturbing haunted house stories from the golden age of radio. It tells of a man overtaken by a spirit and forced to return to the house on Old Man’s Bluff. It first aired on the Mutual Broadcasting Network in June of 1940. Please place your pacemakers in safe mode!

MOS2017 – The Thing On The Fourble Board

Welcome to the month of spooky 2017. This year is going to be a whole lot of scary with a total of nine podcasts during the month. We begin with my all time halloween favorite, The Thing on the fourble board, narrated by our friend/ghoul the Train Conductor.

OTR Story – The Thing on the Fourble Board

Our story for this special edition of the podcast comes from the series Quiet Please. It was a radio fantasy and horror program created by Wyllis Cooper and debuted June 8, 1947 on the Mutual Broadcasting System. We feature what I believe is their best program. The acting is off the charts, the sound is astounding and it is downright scary! What if we we could pull something up from the underground while drilling for oil? What would it be? It first aired on August 9, 1948.

HE #18 – The Whole Town is Sleeping

Welcome to the 18th episode of The Horror Express. In this edition we have some scary stories, Jason tells us all about Irma from his point of view, and we go over all of the events that are coming in the Month Of Spooky 2017. So settle into your seats and do watch out for the hellhounds.

Our OTR Story – The Whole Town is Sleeping

Our OTR tale comes from the masters of yarns, Suspense. It is told to us by two of the best radio actors of the time, William Conrad and Agnes Moorehead. It is a simple tale, one that could be happening right now, in any city across America. It is a frightening tale one quietly calculated to keep you in suspense. It is called, The Whole Town is Sleeping and first aired on August 31, 1958.

Programing Note: In the podcast I refer to Agnes Moorehead’s character on Bewitched as Amanda. In fact it was Endora. Thanks to listener Mike for catching that one.

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this week we present a classic detective drama from the OTR series Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. We continue the fun with a story from Brenda in Boston and her personal encounter with a Shadow Man. So find your quiet place and enjoy the show!

Our OTR Story – The Archeologist

When the world of classic radio was dying three shows continued on into the 1960s. They were Suspense, Gunsmoke and Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. The later was a radio icon that aired on CBS from 1949 to 1962. One of the first to play role of Johnny Dollar was Edmund O’Brien the academy award winning actor. He brought a fresh new look to the show that stood the test of time. What we will play today is one of his shows. It is a story about how a quiet little scientist, played by John Dehner, gets mixed up in drugs and murder. The story is called, The Archeologist and first aired on February 4, 1950.
