A Thrilling Halloween!
Yes folks, 'tis the season to be jelly. It's Halloween all October around these parts - time for the ol' datajunkie fright-fest spook-rally shock-o-rama horror-thon of all things creep-a-licious. Let's jump in the trusty wayback machine and check out these two radio thrillers from the 1930's - "The Hermits' Cave" and "The Witches' Tale".
Both are pretty creaky and melodramatic by today's standards, but if you like the old-time horror in the "Weird Tales" vein, you should check these out.
