| Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde - Old Time Horror | 10 mai 2025 | 00:55:31 | |
This week on The Shiver Show, we plunge into one of the most haunting tales of duality ever written: Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Join hosts Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn as they guide you through the chilling 1974 CBS Radio Mystery Theater adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novella—a radio drama that explores the terrifying conflict between good and evil in each human soul. This gripping episode was penned for radio by George Lowther, a prolific writer and director who masterfully condensed Stevenson’s psychological thriller into a taut, atmospheric production that still resonates today. The story unfolds through the signature CBS Radio Mystery Theater format: brooding narration, moody orchestration, and immersive sound effects that echo the shadowy streets of Victorian London. At the heart of this production is a powerhouse performance by Kevin McCarthy as the conflicted Dr. Henry Jekyll and his monstrous alter ego, Edward Hyde. McCarthy’s dynamic range—moving seamlessly from refined intellect to feral rage—anchors the drama and elevates the horror. Mary and Greg delve deep into what apparently inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write this story, and the themes of identity, repression, and moral ambiguity. Whether you're a longtime old time radio fan or you just love horror, this episode of The Shiver Show promises thrills, chills, and thoughtful reflection. 🎧 Press play—and let the darkness in.

| The War of the Worlds | 28 mars 2024 | 00:59:32 | |
In 1938, on Halloween night, the sensational radio broadcast of War of the Worlds caused listeners to tremble and panic. Orson Welles, the mastermind behind this electrifying adaptation of the H.G. Wells timeless classic, sent shockwaves through America. To many radio listeners, this gripping radio play sounded like a real news story about a Martian invasion - starting with a space ship landing in New Jersey, and followed by a ground invasion making its way to New York city. The play used immersive sound effects, such as terrified bystanders, a skittish news reporter, alien weaponry, and the destruction of buildings and infrastructure. The reaction to War of the Worlds was as legendary as the broadcast itself. The public's response bordered on hysteria - the telephone network was swamped with calls, and the police surrounded and entered the CBS Radio Network in an attempt to stop the broadcast. Once it was clear that the story was just a story, the event sparked a national conversation about media responsibility and the power of storytelling. Orson Welles, initially interrogated by the police, was later hailed as a genius for his exceptional voice acting work. Listen to what Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn discovered in their research into the story, the controversy, the actors and what many consider the first instance of 'fake news.' Thank you for listening!
