Get full-length pulp audiobooks, pulp eBooks, and old-time radio shows ABSOLUTELY FREE FOR IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD by emailing WeirdDarkness@RadioArchives.com! One of the most popular radio shows in history, “The Shadow” went on the air in August of 1930. "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" The opening lines of the "Detective Story" program captivated listeners and are instantly recognizable even today. Originally the narrator of the series of macabre tales, the eerie voice known as The Shadow became so popular to listeners that "Detective Story" was soon renamed "The Shadow," and the narrator became the star of the old-time mystery radio series, which ran until 1954. A figure never seen, only heard, the Shadow was an invincible crime fighter. He possessed many gifts which enabled him to overcome any enemy. Besides his tremendous strength, he could defy gravity, speak any language, unravel any code, and become invisible with his famous ability to "cloud men's minds." Along with his team of operatives, the Shadow battled adversaries with chilling names like The Black Master, Kings of Crime, The Five Chameleons, and, of course, The Red Menace. The Shadow's exploits were also avidly followed by readers in The Shadow magazine, which began in 1931 following the huge success of the old-time mystery radio program. The magazine was published by Street & Smith, who had also sponsored the old-time mystery radio program. Over the course of 18 years, Street & Smith published 325 issues of The Shadow, each one containing a novel about the sinister crime fighter. These stories were written by Maxwell Grant, a fictional name created by the publishing company. Although several different people wrote under the pseudonym, Walter B. Gibson wrote most of the stories, 282 in all. Most of the novels published have been reprinted in paperback and The Shadow adventures remain popular today, with Shadow comic books, magazines, toys, games, cds and cassettes of old-time radio shows, and books bringing top dollar among collectors the world over. 00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION 00:01:54.735 = The Ghost Building (January 12, 1941) 00:31:29.737 = The Shadow Challenged (January 19, 1941) 01:00:32.084 = Nightmare at Gaelsbury (February 02, 1941) 01:24:46.816 = The Man Who Lived Twice (February 09, 1941) 01:48:01.716 = The Phantom Voyage (February 16, 1941) 02:12:49.315 = The Chess Club Murders (February 23, 1941) 02:41:44.100 = Death Rides a Broomstick (March 02, 1941) 03:09:46.149 = The Ghost Walks Again (March 16, 1941) 03:34:30.812 = Death Prowls at Night (March 23, 1941) 04:00:26.672 = The Gibbering Thing (September 26, 1943) 04:28:51.731 = The Murder Underground (March 09, 1941) – LOW QUALITY SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS… This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.com Weird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46 Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarkness WeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

Get full-length pulp audiobooks, pulp eBooks, and old-time radio shows ABSOLUTELY FREE FOR IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD by emailing WeirdDarkness@RadioArchives.com! After September 30, 1962, commercial radio drama was as dead as the doornail described in the opening pages of Dickens' A Christmas Carol (1843), and everyone understood that television killed it. People who worked in both mediums realized that working in radio was a much better overall experience than television could ever be. Sure, TV had pictures to go along with the stories, but putting those pictures on the air involved a highly technical and expensive technology, and by the time those images reached the audience they were grainy, blurry, and sometimes nearly impossible to see. One actor could play different parts on several different radio programs, even in a single episode, but once they were seen in a TV show their face was recognizable enough that they had a hard time working on another show, and even a twenty-second appearance meant hours in makeup and wardrobe. Appearing in a radio drama required just a couple rehearsals and then remaining as quiet as possible in the studio, following along in the script until time to perform your lines, which you also read from the script. There was one important thing that television could offer over radio work; money. The accounting in TV and radio was fundamentally different. A radio program was usually paid for by a single sponsor while commercial time on TV shows was sold piecemeal, but there was still a phenomenal amount of money involved in TV production and the networks and sponsors were happy to pay it. Unable to compete with the huge amount of money being spread around by TV, after the final broadcasts of Suspense and Yours Truly Johnny Dollar on September 30, 1960, the Golden Age of Radio came to an end. Or did it? In the decade after the end of the Golden Age of Radio, TV matured artistically and technically. There had been a rejection by the networks of "rural" programming which helped launch a nostalgia craze. This craze began with the release of George Lucas's American Graffiti (1973), and suddenly everything old seemed new again. One of the genres which were best suited to radio was the horror shows which made listeners sit up in bed and pull the sheets over their heads. This sort of program had been pioneered Wyliss Cooper and Arch Oboler on Lights Out as well as The Whistler, Suspense, and Inner Sanctum Mysteries. This was the type of show creators decided upon for his radio nostalgia project, which became The CBS Radio Mystery Theater. They were convinced that there was enough interest from those who had heard similar shows growing up during the Golden Age, but the show built a following of younger fans for whom radio drama was a new and exciting experience. In many ways, CBSRMT was more like a TV program on the radio than a typical Old Time Radio show. The shows were taped rather than broadcast live, which allowed for greater post-production editing and creative control. The scripts generally ran 45 minutes, and the action was broken at points to allow for separately produced commercials and news bulletins to be inserted. The opening featured the "creaking door" effect which had been part of The Inner Sanctum. Host E.G. Marshall was never as campily creepy earlier horror hosts, but his closing, "Until next time, pleasant… dreams?" was sure to inspire nightmares. Production of CBSRMT was efficient almost to the point of cheapness. Creators drew upon radio row veterans working in New York as well as up-and-coming television personalities. The show used original stories from a wide variety of genres as well as literary classics. Writers were paid a flat $350 for each recorded script, and actors received union scale rates of $73.92 per episode. The actors would come into the studio for an initial script reading at 9:00 am, and the episode was generally completed by noon. Paychecks were handed out and the tape would be edited in the afternoon. 00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION 00:01:54.482 = Where Fear Begins (June 25, 1974) 00:46:09.444 = Yesterday’s Murder (June 27, 1974) 01:30:22.516 = Hurricane (July 01, 1974) 02:14:41.491 = The Secret Life of Bobby Deland (July 03, 1974) 02:59:07.847 = The Young Die Good (July 04, 1974) 03:43:37.985 = Too Many Women Can Kill You (July 08, 1974) 04:28:35.623 = And Death Makes Even Steven (July 09, 1974) SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS… This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.com Weird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46 Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarkness WeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

The Devil and Mr O was created by Arch Oboler as part of the famous Lights Out series of radio programs. His first version of the radio macabre portrayals were produced during the early 1940's. The Lights Out program was already a hit across the nation as the first horror series that made people wince, scream and "re-think" their dinners. When Oboler took over the creation of the series, he wasted no time in presenting his talent for the weird and fantastic to the American audience. If the dialog and storyline did not draw you to the edge of your seat, the sound effects were sure to place you there. Arch Oboler is Mr. O.,your host.

Not to be confused with the old time radio series, Dark Fantasy, Dark Venture is a psychological thriller show that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The show centered on horror/mystery and aired from 1945 to 1947, with John Lake as the narrator. It was a different kind of thriller where the listeners were able to go into the twisted mind of the killer and learn about his plans and thoughts. Although the methods through which the killers murdered their targets weren’t exactly creative, the listeners still found the show particularly interesting because of the way the killing is plotted and how the killer can sometimes get away with it. Even though John Lake was the official narrator all throughout the series’ run, most of the narrating in each episode is provided by the character of the killer – a very unique idea, especially for the time. 00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION 00:01:54.632 = Lucky Connors (AFRS) 00:25:38.118 = Turnabout 00:48:23.066 = Chase Wildroot 01:16:42.355 = The Boarder (AFRS) 01:41:06.533 = The Only Inhabitant 02:10:46.612 = The Man in 206 02:40:07.557 = Miser 03:09:42.944 = Hideout (AFRS) 03:33:20.177 = Coverup 04:03:07.491 = Elizabeth Is Frightened 04:33:02.957 = Pursuit 05:02:48.386 = Eclipse SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS… This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.com Weird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46 Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarkness WeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

After September 30, 1962, commercial radio drama was as dead as the doornail described in the opening pages of Dickens' A Christmas Carol (1843), and everyone understood that television killed it.People who worked in both mediums realized that working in radio was a much better overall experience than television could ever be. Sure, TV had pictures to go along with the stories, but putting those pictures on the air involved a highly technical and expensive technology, and by the time those images reached the audience they were grainy, blurry, and sometimes nearly impossible to see. One actor could play different parts on several different radio programs, even in a single episode, but once they were seen in a TV show their face was recognizable enough that they had a hard time working on another show, and even a twenty-second appearance meant hours in makeup and wardrobe. Appearing in a radio drama required just a couple rehearsals and then remaining as quiet as possible in the studio, following along in the script until time to perform your lines, which you also read from the script.There was one important thing that television could offer over radio work; money. The accounting in TV and radio was fundamentally different. A radio program was usually paid for by a single sponsor while commercial time on TV shows was sold piecemeal, but there was still a phenomenal amount of money involved in TV production and the networks and sponsors were happy to pay it. Unable to compete with the huge amount of money being spread around by TV, after the final broadcasts of Suspense and Yours Truly Johnny Dollar on September 30, 1960, the Golden Age of Radio came to an end.Or did it?In the decade after the end of the Golden Age of Radio, TV matured artistically and technically. There had been a rejection by the networks of "rural" programming which helped launch a nostalgia craze. This craze began with the release of George Lucas's American Graffiti (1973), and suddenly everything old seemed new again.One of the genres which were best suited to radio was the horror shows which made listeners sit up in bed and pull the sheets over their heads. This sort of program had been pioneered Wyliss Cooper and Arch Oboler on Lights Out as well as The Whistler, Suspense, and Inner Sanctum Mysteries. This was the type of show creators decided upon for his radio nostalgia project, which became The CBS Radio Mystery Theater. They were convinced that there was enough interest from those who had heard similar shows growing up during the Golden Age, but the show built a following of younger fans for whom radio drama was a new and exciting experience.In many ways, CBSRMT was more like a TV program on the radio than a typical Old Time Radio show. The shows were taped rather than broadcast live, which allowed for greater post-production editing and creative control. The scripts generally ran 45 minutes, and the action was broken at points to allow for separately produced commercials and news bulletins to be inserted. The opening featured the "creaking door" effect which had been part of The Inner Sanctum. Host E.G. Marshall was never as campily creepy earlier horror hosts, but his closing, "Until next time, pleasant… dreams?" was sure to inspire nightmares.Production of CBSRMT was efficient almost to the point of cheapness. Creators drew upon radio row veterans working in New York as well as up-and-coming television personalities. The show used original stories from a wide variety of genres as well as literary classics. Writers were paid a flat $350 for each recorded script, and actors received union scale rates of $73.92 per episode. The actors would come into the studio for an initial script reading at 9:00 am, and the episode was generally completed by noon. Paychecks were handed out and the tape would be edited in the afternoon. 00:00:00.000 = INTRO 00:01:54.482 = The Bleeding Statue (May 23, 1974) 00:46:21.986 = Mirror For Murder (May 27, 1974) 01:30:27.244 = The Phantom Lullaby (May 29, 1974) 02:14:39.905 = Dressed To Kill (May 30, 1974) 02:59:05.145 = To Kill With Confidence (June 03, 1974) 03:43:09.434 = An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (June 04, 1974) 04:27:15.215 = Darling Deadly Dolores (June 06, 1974) SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS… This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.com Weird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46 Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarkness WeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

One of the most popular radio shows in history, “The Shadow” went on the air in August of 1930. "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" The opening lines of the "Detective Story" program captivated listeners and are instantly recognizable even today. Originally the narrator of the series of macabre tales, the eerie voice known as The Shadow became so popular to listeners that "Detective Story" was soon renamed "The Shadow," and the narrator became the star of the old-time mystery radio series, which ran until 1954. A figure never seen, only heard, the Shadow was an invincible crime fighter. He possessed many gifts which enabled him to overcome any enemy. Besides his tremendous strength, he could defy gravity, speak any language, unravel any code, and become invisible with his famous ability to "cloud men's minds." Along with his team of operatives, the Shadow battled adversaries with chilling names like The Black Master, Kings of Crime, The Five Chameleons, and, of course, The Red Menace. The Shadow's exploits were also avidly followed by readers in The Shadow magazine, which began in 1931 following the huge success of the old-time mystery radio program. The magazine was published by Street & Smith, who had also sponsored the old-time mystery radio program. Over the course of 18 years, Street & Smith published 325 issues of The Shadow, each one containing a novel about the sinister crime fighter. These stories were written by Maxwell Grant, a fictional name created by the publishing company. Although several different people wrote under the pseudonym, Walter B. Gibson wrote most of the stories, 282 in all. Most of the novels published have been reprinted in paperback and The Shadow adventures remain popular today, with Shadow comic books, magazines, toys, games, cds and cassettes of old-time radio shows, and books bringing top dollar among collectors the world over. 00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION 00:01:54.735 = Dead Men talk (September 24, 1939) 00:26:27.158 = The Night Marauders (October 01, 1939) 00:49:11.384 = House of Fun (October 22, 1939) 01:14:09.604 = Phantom Fingerprints (October 29, 1939) 01:38:41.345 = The Inventor of Death (November 12, 1939) 02:03:41.633 = The Shadow Returns (November 19, 1939) 02:28:52.930 = The Sandhog Murders (November 26, 1939) 02:51:31.785 = Death Shows The Way (December 03, 1939) 03:16:03.298 = The Flight of the Vulture (December 10, 1939) 03:39:44.982 = Murder Incorporated (December 17, 1939) 04:03:49.549 = The Cat That Killed (December 31, 1939) 04:29:56.832 = Murder In The Death House (January 07, 1940) SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS… This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.com Weird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46 Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarkness WeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

The Creaking Door was an old time radio program that originated from South Africa radio, that relied heavily on mysticism and the supernatural. It was of the same genre as classic suspense and horror mysteries like the Inner Sanctum. While not as popular as contemporaries of its time, the serialization found a sponsor in British American Tobacco, "State Express 555." The series was generally short-lived and lasted from 1964-1965 and was hosted by Peter Bloomfield. At the beginning of every thrilling episode, a creaking sound is heard, hence, the title of the show. While Creaking Door was able to present 34 episodes, a handful were not good enough for me to fix even with digital technology – but most of the series is still intact. 00:00:00.000 = INTRODUCTION 00:01:54.632 = Haunted Hangman 00:30:32.650 = Face to Face Music of the Spheres 00:55:06.130 = Dangerous Dive 01:22:05.600 = Ghosts At Ridgeway 01:48:47.950 = Bring Back Her Bones 02:20:14.640 = Don’t Go Down Mine 02:47:53.600 = Cat Woman 03:16:18.280 = Imposter 03:45:25.500 = Inn Spectre 04:11:35.660 = A Room For The Night 04:41:04.800 = Like Blood Sisters SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS… This episode is sponsored by http://RadioArchives.com Weird Darkness Retro Radio theme by Storyblocks. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." — John 12:46 Find out how to escape eternal darkness at https://weirddarkness.com/eternaldarkness WeirdDarkness® - is a registered trademark.

| (Bonus Content!) “THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE” by Robert Louis Stevenson | 10 Mar 2024 | 02:38:16 | |
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is an 1886 Gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. It follows Gabriel John Utterson, a London-based legal practitioner who investigates a series of strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and a murderous criminal named Edward Hyde.Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is one of the most famous pieces of English literature, and is considered to be a defining book of the gothic horror genre. The novella has also had a sizable impact on popular culture, with the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" being used in vernacular to refer to people with an outwardly good but sometimes shockingly evil nature.

| (BONUS EPISODE!) “KNOCK” BY FREDRIK BROWN | 08 Mar 2024 | 00:26:23 | |
IN THIS EPISODE: “Knock” by Fredrik Brown starts with a short-short story based on the following text of Thomas Bailey Aldrich: ***“Imagine all human beings swept off the face of the earth, excepting one man. Imagine this man in some vast city, New York or London. Imagine him on the third or fourth day of his solitude sitting in a house and hearing a ring at the door-bell!”*** Fredric Brown condensed this text to read "a sweet little horror story that is only two sentences long". Brown’s short story then goes on to elaborate on those two sentences and builds a more complete plot around them. “Knock” was originally published in the December 1948 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories. There have been three different radio adaptations (Dimension X, X Minus One and the Sci Fi Channel's Seeing Ear Theatre). And now it gets another adaptation – in this episode. The story was also reprinted in The Best Science Fiction Stories: 1949.

| BONUS EPISODE: "The Undersea Tube" by L. Taylor Hansen (from "Amazing Stories" magazine, Nov 1929) | 23 Feb 2024 | 00:25:53 | |
This episode is not old time radio, but it is old time science fiction! "The Undersea Tube" by L. Taylor Hansen was originally published in "Amazing Stories" magazine in November 1929. I have narrated this story for another podcast I host called "Auditory Anthology", but I thought Old Time Radio fans would enjoy hearing it as well!
