Annoying

There are a couple of decent episodes, but the other 11 fall flat. The overall tone is macabre and melodramatic, without wit or genuine chills. It is hard to recommend it, even to fans of radio horror.

Mediocre "Twilight Zone"

The subjects and stories of this collection were hit and miss for me. Some were a little too morose but all were not as compelling as I was hoping. The performances were pretty good, not great. I found my mind wandering and I wasn't fully drawn in by them.
