Sunday Night Mysteries 10/13/2024
This weekend, Sunday Night Mysteries continues our series of spooky stories, beginning with a pair of Suspense shows, “The Customer’s LIKE Murder” and “Last Night,” both from 1943.
Second, we debut a feature from our new friends at Project Audion. There are many shows that do not exist in recorded form – only the scripts. Project Audion has corralled some of the finest voice actors in the country to recreate those shows. WHFR has received special permission to re-broadcast two of their Lights Out productions working from original scipts dating back to the 1930s. The first, called The Dark debuts this weekend on WHFR. The writer, Arch Oboler, actually recreated a 15 minute version in his 1960s album, “Drop Dead.” We will hear the full play, recreated in stunning digital quality that hasn’t been heard anywhere in nearly 90 years. As we get closer to Halloween, we’ll feature more from Project Audion.
Following that also on Sunday night, we’ll present some of Oboler’s short 1960s “Drop Dead” cuts.
What are some shows that have the word WEIRD in their title? We’ll answer that by listening to The Strange Dr. Weird, played by the same actor who played the Mysterious Traveler on NBC. We follow that with The Weird Circle, a fantasy-horror show with “The Thing in the Tunnel.”
That and much much more for this weekends WHFR Sunday Night Mysteries 9:00-12:00 midnight, the witching hour, at 89.3 or whfr.fm on the stream.
