An Anthology of Mixed Quality

The radio episodes in this collection offer a wide introduction to what was considered scary during the Golden Age of radio. Horror, like comedy, doesn't always age well, and some of these stories more corny than terrifying, but they will all be interesting to the one-time radio enthusiast.

Horror in the Air Review

The narration was excellent. The tone of the voices makes all the difference (I favor male, British accents). Content flowed and kept things interesting. Some old-time sound effects were over the top but were adequate for thier time, so it was understandable. All around good entertainment!
