This Saturday on Vintage Classic Radio's "Saturday Matinee", we kick off with a nostalgic return to Riverdale in the "Archie Andrews" episode titled "Halloween Party" from October 30th, 1948. In this lively episode, chaos and comedy ensue as Archie and his friends plan and execute a Halloween party, complete with costumes, pranks, and the usual misunderstandings. The cast includes Bob Hastings as Archie Andrews, Harlan Stone as Jughead Jones, Alice Yourman as Archie's mother Mary Andrews, Arthur Kohl as his father Fred Andrews, Gloria Mann as Veronica Lodge, and Rosemary Rice as Betty Cooper.

Following Archie and his gang, we'll tune into the "Blondie and Dagwood" show for their episode "Blondie and the Halloween Spirit" from October 27th, 1948. The Bumsteads are swept up in Halloween festivities, with Dagwood trying to outdo the neighbours in Halloween decorations and Blondie managing the chaos while ensuring the kids enjoy the spooky holiday. The episode features Penny Singleton as Blondie Bumstead, Arthur Lake as Dagwood Bumstead, Larry Simms as their son Alexander, and Daisy the dog brings her own charm to the family antics.

We conclude with a special treat from "Philco Radio Time" broadcasted on October 29th, 1947, featuring the iconic Boris Karloff and Victor Moore. In this memorable episode, Karloff brings his classic horror persona to radio, providing a mix of chills and laughs, while Victor Moore adds a comedic contrast that keeps the audience both amused and on edge. Bing Crosby leads the cast with his usual charm and warmth, accompanied by John Scott Trotter and his Orchestra, lending the show a musical flair alongside the thrilling guest performances.

Join us for these three back-to-back episodes for a mix of humour, nostalgia, and a touch of spookiness this Saturday on Vintage Classic Radio.
