OLD TIME RADIO - It began in the twenties and lasted until
the fifties. Some say later. In a simpler age before media saturated every moment.
The big three television broadcast channels you watch today actually started as
radio channels. There were comedies and dramas but my favorites are tales of
the supernatural and horror. Broadcast radio was free and at the time even more
popular than TV. Families rushed home to huddle around the radio in the living
room. With titles like The Mysterious Traveler, Inner Sanctum, Suspense and
Lights Out; OTR plays feel like sitting around a campfire listening to ghost
stories. Want to browse some and have a listen? Do a search for “horror radio
plays archive.org”, download the free MP3 and upload to your device. Turn off
all the lights and get prepared for a scare! Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
