About this product

Product Information

This first full-length study of golden age horror radio focuses on six representative programs, starting with The Witch's Tale in 1931 and ending with The Mysterious Traveler in 1952. Each chapter provides a critically and historically informed study of one series. It ends with a look at the demise of horror radio and its influence. Photographs reveal the previously unseen work of stars like Agnes Moorehead and Orson Welles as they broadcast famous tales of terror.
