THE TWILIGHT ZONE ("The Executions of Grady Finch") FULL EPISODE

THE TWILIGHT ZONE ("The Executions of Grady Finch") FULL EPISODE
Grady Finch has been convicted of murdering a convenience-store owner, though has gotten many to believe in his innocence (minus the alleged victim's son) since he wasn't at the scene of the crime and the one who spread the story was a drug-addict. Sentenced to die by lethal injection, he is temporarily saved when the system breaks down, and later says he heard a voice as it happened when he thought he was going to die repeating "Not yet". Though other cases make he and his lawyer Liz think he'll have another year, another execution is scheduled the following night. It fails a second time, and he again hears the voice. When a different method is used, the machines fail and he not only hears the chant but, while his face is masked, sees an image of one whom he believes is a guardian angel. Against Liz's advice, he adds to his fame by talking about his guardian angel and belief that he is being kept alive to prove higher judgment exists. He even escapes a murder attempt. But what is the reason Grady Finch is being kept alive, and what is his destiny?
Grady Finch is to be executed for the cold-blooded murder of convenience-store owner Mr. Park during a botched holdup. He continues to insist that he is innocent of the murder, saying he was never at the store that night, and that a witness who testified to seeing him there, is a drug-addict and his testimony is not reliable.
At the death chamber, the lethal-injection machinery inexplicably breaks down and fails. Grady hears a woman's voice in his head, saying, 'Not yet.'
Grady's defense lawyer, Liz, is sure that the court's being bogged down with cases will delay things long enough for her to further the appeal process. However, the court schedules another execution attempt that night. But once again, the equipment inexplicably breaks down and fails at the last minute, and Grady again hear's a woman's voice saying, 'Not yet.' He also sees a very brief vision of what he later says is a guardian angel watching over him. He draws a picture of this vision to show to the court.
Most people would be considered mad at this point for such claims, but the public begins to believe Grady, taking his story at face value. Soon, Mr. Park's son Nathan is virtually the only one still adamantly protesting Grady's guilt. Another execution is scheduled, this time by electrocution. But yet a third time, at the last minute, there is a power failure and the electric chair fails to work. Grady is seriously injured by the electricity but the chair cannot generate enough current to kill him. Once again, he hears the voice of his 'guardian angel' saying to him, 'Not yet.'
Things go from bad to worse quickly for Nathan Park as public support for Grady continues to grow, and then the prosecution's star witness, a jailhouse informant, announces a wish to recant his testimony against Grady in an act of penitence. Liz puts in a motion to the court and wins Grady a new trial. Sick with grief and anger, Nathan pulls a gun and tries to shoot Grady in the court. But Grady again hears the familiar voice saying to him, 'Not yet,' and Nathan's pistol jams. He is seized by police and now facing charges of his own.
The jury in Grady's new trial wastes little time in completely exonerating him, finding him not guilty of any of the charges levied against him. Grady and Liz are standing just inside the courthouse's vestibule doors, talking about the outcome and Grady's future, as an adoring public stands outside, cheering for Grady and eagerly awaiting his appearance.
During the conversation, Grady carelessly (or indifferently...?) lets slip that he was in fact at the convenience store on the night of the robbery and murder-- in direct contradiction to his longtime claim. Confronted by a baffled Liz, Grady's demeanor changes from humble to smug in the span of a heartbeat. Liz realizes to her horror that Grady has been lying all along, and that he was in fact guilty of murdering Mr. Park. Grady admits to this, for no better reason than Mr. Park not wanting to give Grady all the money in his register.
Liz listens with growing revulsion as Grady speaks about having literally gotten away with murder, that he is now immune to retrial due to double jeopardy, and that he will soon have all the money he wanted and more, seeing book deals and talk show appearances galore in his future. She watches numbly as Grady steps outside the courthouse to greet his adoring public.
As Grady pauses on the steps, he stands directly under where a massive sculpture is being held up by cable and pulley, to be gradually lowered to exact placement at the top of the steps of the courthouse. Grady sees a glimpse of his 'guardian angel,' and the feminine voice once again speaks to him. This time, however, the voice doesn't tell him 'Not yet'--- but 'Now.'
Immediately the cable holding the massive sculpture aloft, breaks. Grady has just enough time to glance up before the sculpture falls right on top of him, crushing him to death in front of the now-horrified crowd. Liz steps outside and marvels that the sculpture resembles the drawing Grady made of the 'guardian angel' he saw in his visions. The inscription at the base of the sculpture is still intact, and the camera pans in to show that the sculpture is of the ancient Greek goddess Nemesis... goddess of vengeance.

The Twilight Zone is a nationally syndicated radio drama series featuring radio play adaptations of the classic television series The Twilight Zone first produced for the British station BBC Radio 4 Extra in October 2002. with the final show released in 2012 for 176 episodes in all.
Many of the stories are based on Rod Serling's scripts from the original Twilight Zone series, and are slightly expanded and updated to reflect contemporary technology and trends (e.g., the mention of "cell phones" and "CD-ROMs" which, of course, were not around when the television show aired in the 1960s) and the lack of a visual component. In addition to adapting all of the original episodes aired on the 1959-1964 TV series, the radio series has also adapted some Twilight Zone TV scripts which were never produced, scripts from other Serling TV productions, and new stories written especially for the radio series. Taking Serling's role as narrator is Stacy Keach. Different Hollywood actors, such as Blair Underwood and James Caviezel, take the lead role in each radio drama. In addition, several stars who appeared on the original TV series, such as H.M. Wynant, Orson Bean and Morgan Brittany, appear, although purposely not in the roles they originated on television. The series features a full cast, music and sound effects and is produced in the flavor of classic radio dramas but using today's technology. In addition to being an homage to the original Twilight Zone TV series (in many cases using the original music), the radio dramas pay tribute to the era of classic radio drama, including allusions to radio dramas such as Gunsmoke, the presence of radio legend Stan Freberg in many episodes, and the sons of radio drama personalities Stacy Keach, Sr., (director, Tales of the Texas Rangers) and Ed Begley, Sr., (actor, Richard Diamond, Private Detective) as stars in the series.
Licensed by CBS Enterprises and The Rod Serling Estate, The Twilight Zone radio series is produced by Carl Amari, CEO of Falcon Picture Group who hosts his own weekly nationally syndicated radio series, featuring classic radio, called "Hollywood 360." The scripts from the original Twilight Zone are adapted by Dennis Etchison and others, including one episode by Chas Holloway and several by British writer M. J. Elliott. New stories by Etchison and others that are not based on the original TV series are also featured. In Britain it has been heard on the digital channel BBC Radio 4 Extra. In the United States, it airs on nearly 200 radio stations including many large stations like WCCO-Minneapolis, KSL-Salt Lake City, KOA-Denver and WIND-Chicago. All of the stations and airtimes are available at the series official website. It also airs regularly on XM satellite radio channel 163 and Sirius channel 117, Sirius XM Book Radio.

On July 31, 1930, a sinister voice introduced "The Detective Story Magazine Hour," a weekly radio program that dramatized stories from the pages of Street & Smith's Detective Story Magazine.
The mysterious narrator claimed; "The Shadow knows all" and then announced the story from the current issue of the crime magazine with a menacing laugh.
Though the program was canceled after 52 episodes, The Shadow became an immediate hit with the listening audience and continued on with his own magazine.
The Shadow came back to the airwaves to narrate other crime programs, such as, "Blue Coal Mystery Revue and a handful of his own short lived shows in 1932 and 1934. However, they too were dropped from the airwaves.
On September 26, 1937, Street & Smith gave The Shadow a central role, and a long-time radio residence, on the Mutual Broadcasting System network. The first show, starring Orson Welles, was titled "The Death House Rescue." The last radio program had Bret Morrison portraying the mysterious sleuth. It was titled "Murder by the Sea," and aired on December 26, 1954.

The Twilight Zone Radio Show "The Invaders." Episode
An old woman (Agnes Moorehead) lives alone in a remote cabin. She is dressed shabbily, and there are no modern conveniences in evidence. After hearing a strange deafening noise above her kitchen roof, she is accosted by small intruders that come from a miniature flying saucer that has landed on her rooftop. Two tiny figures, apparently about six inches high, which appear to be robots or beings wearing pressure suits, emerge from the craft.
The small figures attack the woman, using small, pistol-like weapons that leave radiation burns on her skin, and, after following her into her cabin, slashing her ankle and hand with her own kitchen knife. The suspense builds as the woman searches for the invaders. She eventually destroys one, wrapping it in a blanket and beating it until it is still, then throwing it into the burning fireplace. She follows the other to the saucer-ship on her roof, which she proceeds to attack with a hatchet.
All this has taken place with no words being spoken, but now a voice (director Douglas Heyes) is heard speaking in English from within the craft. The intruder frantically warns that his partner, "Gresham", is dead; and that the planet is inhabited by a "race of giants" and impossible to defeat. The camera pans to the markings on the side of the ship, which reads U.S. Air Force Space Probe No. 1. The "tiny" invaders were human astronauts from Earth; the woman in the small farmhouse belongs to a race of giant humanoids native to another planet. She finishes destroying the ship and then climbs back down from the roof into the house, exhausted.
Air date: January 27, 1961
A woman (Agnes Moorehead) living in an old shack with no modern appliances is cleaning up her house for the night. Suddenly, she hears a loud noise coming from above her and after it drones on for a little while, it stops.
The woman goes up to her bedroom and hears something on the roof. On the top she finds a small UFO that drops down a stairwell and a tiny alien in a spacesuit emerges. Terrified, the woman goes back into her shack and starts hiding.
She hides in behind the hatch only for the alien to follow her into there. She opens a hatch which it falls down and she closes it.
After some time she goes back down terrified that there is another alien there shooting at her. And when she gets back to the inside she finds a small instrument running on electricity and both bruises and welts on her arm, face and chest from where she was shot.She finds one alien back in her bedroom so she tries to hide from it until she gets a broom to hunt it down. After prodding around, she finds an alien behind her door.The woman continues to hide until she finds a knife. Once again said alien has followed her and hid in a cabinet, which she promptly closes, but she hears it break out.As she's retreating, one alien attacks her foot with a knife. Screaming in pain, she now realizes these aliens intend harm on her.She decides to end it by capturing one of the aliens firing at her in her bed sheet and beating it on her dresser till it dies.She finds the other alien who blew a hole through her wall prompting her to follow it to the roof.The woman goes to the roof with a hatchet and starts beating the UFO to scrap metal. After no dialogue the whole episode, we hear the commander of the spaceship notifying central control that the planet is inhabited by giants and this makes the woman beat it harder despite them saying they have no counter attack. After a few final swings, the UFO has been destroyed.As the woman sags in relief, the audience finally gets a clear look at the damaged ship, and the alien writing on it: U.S Air Force Space Probe No. 1. The space suited aliens were humans, and the woman a giantess.Radio drama is a dramatized, purely acoustic performance.

Star Wars: The Original Radio Drama 1981 Mark Hamill
Tuesday, August 9, 2022 • Duration 04:24:39
Star Wars: The Original Radio Drama 1981 Mark Hamill
When this series was first broadcast on National Public Radio in 1981, it generated the largest response in the network's history: 50,000 letters and phone calls in a single week, an audience of 750,000 per episode, and a subsequent 40-percent jump in NPR listenership.
This landmark production, perhaps the most ambitious radio project ever attempted, began when Star Wars creator George Lucas donated the story rights to an NPR affiliate. Writer Brian Daley adapted the film's highly visual script to the special demands and unique possibilities of radio, creating a more richly textured tale with greater emphasis on character development. Director John Madden guided a splendid cast—including Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels, reprising their film roles as Luke Skywalker and the persnickety robot See Threepio—through an intense 10-day dialogue recording session. Then came months of painstaking work for virtuoso sound engineer Tom Voegeli, whose brilliant blending of the actors' voices, the music, and hundreds of sound effects takes this intergalactic adventure into a realm of imagination that is beyond the reach of cinema.
