Nightfall - The Blood Countess (1980)
Super spooky radio horror that sounds like it came from the grand era of OTR! Halloween fodder for sure!
Listen to Nightfall - The Blood Countess Part One!
And Part Two!
Mystery in the Air - The Black Cat starring Peter Lorre with announcer Harry Morgan (1947)
So much of Old Time Radio is perfect Halloween fare. William M. Gaines, founder of gory EC Comics cited programs like Inner Sanctum and Suspense as the main inspirations for his wonderful and controversial line of comics.
The Black Cat Starring Peter Lorre
You know what? EVERY episode of Mystery in the Air was/is Halloween appropriate. What's better than Peter Lorre ranting and raving in your ears on October 31st? NOTHING. Here's the ENTIRE series in a helpful player, one episode after another.
