OTR News from Karl Schadow:
As heralded several weeks ago on this blog, audio of the previous “lost” series, Stay Tuned for Terror is now making its way across the web. It was a 15-minute show entirely written by Robert Bloch, with many of the episodes being adaptations of stories Bloch wrote for Weird Tales. You can find them here: Archive.org
Moreover, there are two articles that expand the history of the series including comments regarding the extant recordings. The first was published in the Old Time Radio Researchers periodical, The Old Radio Times
With the second posted on Dave Truesdale’s Science Fiction/Fantasy website: Stay Tuned for Terror

I just had a few minutes to read Karl’s article on this show (follow the first link). Excellent!! If you’re reading this, you should definitely do likewise. And now!

In honor of the season (thank Khee-rist summer is over!) I’ve been making my way through this shortlist

of riveting OTRR horror classics, occasionally upon various chilly nights that arise of late.
My goodness. They do not disappoint. THOROUGHLY harrowing. The kind of precision which make you want to rise from your seat and stride rapidly into the adjoining room.
I ask you. What’s better than flickering firelight, a quality cigar, a dented tin cup of coffee and brandy, and a good ghost story?
Maybe a deer head mounted over the cabin door of course (but, one can’t have everything)
