OTR Story – The Dream (Boris Karloff)

Our story on this episode of The Horror Express comes from the series Lights Out and stars the great Boris Karloff as a mad man on trial for murder. Lights Out was created by Wyllis Cooper and then eventually taken over by Arch Oboler. It aired on different networks, at various times, from 1934 to 1947 and the series eventually made the transition to television. Lights Out was one of the earliest radio horror programs, predating even Suspense and Inner Sanctum. The creepy tale is called The Dream and first aired April 23, 1938.

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this week we turn to the future to tell our stories. We have a sci-fi tale about what lies ahead for our nurseries and the dangers that could hold and, a boy learns just how hard it can be in space. Also, we have comments and questions from you guys.  Should be a pretty fun show.

Our OTR story – The Veldt

Ray Bradbury told some truly amazing stories in his day, and this one is no exception. Imagine a nursery, fully automated, that allows its children to create any virtual environment they desire. What we have this week is based on a short-story originally titled, The World the Children Made. Later it would be edited and titled The Veldt, and would be part of Bradbury’s classic short-story collection The Illustrated Man in 1951.  What you will hear is an adaption to radio for X Minus One.

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this week we have a wood carving that travels through time, a stagecoach that travels through Fort Laramie, and Rudyard Kipling tells one of his classic stories called, How the Whale Got his Throat.

Our OTR Story – Stagecoach Stop

I love today’s old time radio story. It speaks to things that are as important today as they were in the 1880’s.  It comes from Fort Laramie, which was a CBS Radio Western series starring Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince. It aired Sunday afternoons January through October in 1956. The show producers wanted to be a close to reality as possible. The names used for places, buildings and some of the people were real. Our tale is called “Stagecoach Stop” and it first aired on April 15, 1956.

The podcast this week answers the question, “What about the Five Minute Mysteries?” Also, we have an OTR tale that stars Boris Karloff and a listener’s tale from Mitch in North Carolina. Mitch faces danger in a story I have called Development Hell.

Our OTR Story – Death For Sale

Our story today features Boris Karloff in a story called Death For Sale. It is about a clever insurance scheme which is delayed by a blackmailer and his wife. It comes from the great old time radio series Inner Sanctum.

Special Guest: we have a special guest on the RAS this week. Jim Harold lends his talents to the show for a skit about a wise guy! You can find out more about Jim at http://jimharold.com.

Also, we will share an OTR story that is consistently cited as one of the most terrifying programs broadcast during radio’s Golden Age. It ain’t no joke!  

Our OTR Story – The House in Cypress Canyon

The House in Cypress Canyon, is an episode of the American radio series Suspense. Written by Robert L. Richards, produced and directed by William Spier, It was originally broadcast December 5, 1946. The plot is presented as a “story within a story,” framed by a meeting between detective Sam Spade (played by Howard Duff) and a friend who has discovered the manuscript regarding the mysterious house. After a brief introduction, the narrative shifts to the story presented in the manuscript.
