That old black magic's got you under its spell in our show honoring All Saints Tricks and treats from blues goblins, country werewolves, and those who've purportedly sold their souls (but not their Soul) for their art.

October 25, 2000 - http://americanroutes.publicradio.org/archives/show/409/vampires
Find out why New Orleans is the vampire capital of North America. Lots of frightening music and special guests: authors Andrei Codrescu and Anne Rice, just in time for the Hallows.

October 24, 2007 - http://americanroutes.publicradio.org/archives/show/43/saints-spirits
Explore the spiritual realm of New Orleans and South Louisiana through words and music on this weekend of All Souls' and All Saints'.

Hopefully most of the links will still be good, sgrenoble. We don't keep this one going as well as the archived Christmas audio thread. That's a reminder that anyone is free to post! Don't wait on me!

Until searching just now, I had forgotten about many of these:

Valentine's Day
Mardi Gras
Easter
Memorial Day
Fourth of July

And of course, Christmas

 

[RadioJonD]

There are plenty of sources for Halloween shows/music on terrestrial radio, NET radio, podcasts, and various blogs. You are encouraged to find a post them! (I just don't have the time to keep this thread going on any kind of a regular basis.)

In the back pages here are OTR Halloween shows. Here is another OTR source called OTR Cat.

From the webpage:

Escape - (Adventure - Mystery - Horror)
"Three Skeleton Key" from November 15, 1949
In this classic horror radio show starring William Conrad: at a sleepy lighthouse off the coast of French Guiana, a derelict boat brings a terrorizing invasion of rats. This script was later adapted into a Suspense episode and starred Vincent Price.

Great Gildersleeve - (Comedy)
"Halloween Party" from September 7, 1958
Starring the comedic Harold Peary: Uncle Mort and family prepare for a halloween party and share tales of mischief. Leroy dresses as Frankenstein and Gildersleeve is hit with a sock full of flour. Judge Hooker, Leila, and Eve Goodwin bob for apples in this classic old time radio Halloween special.

Inner Sanctum - (Mystery - Horror)
"Wailing Wall" from November 6, 1945
"The cat saw everything with its yellow eyes..." in this classic horror episode sponsored by Lipton Tea: Boris Karloff is a man is haunted for forty years by moans of his strangled wife!

Quiet Please - (Mystery - Horror)
"Pathetic Fallacy" from Feb 2, 1948
The "mechanical electronic brain" of 1948 develops consciousness and acquires emotions: A scientist develops a huge computerized machine capable of solving complex mathematical problems. Computing the value of two plus two, his electronic brain gives an amusing answer of five. As technology becomes more complex, it erases the borderline between what is alive and what is not.

Suspense - (Mystery - Horror)
"House in Cypress Canyon " from Dec 5, 1946
Cathy Lewis and Hans Conried star in this chilling (Christmas) tale: a foreman of a unfinished house on Cypress Canyon finds a shoe box with a manuscript telling a terrifying tale of werewolves.

Weird Circle - (Mystery - Horror)
"Oblong Box " from mid-1940's
From the pen of Edgar Allen Poe, this old time radio show tells the macabre story of an oblong box afloat at sea: the bodies of a "beautiful" woman in a coffin and a man's corpse tied to the top.

The Whistler - (Mystery - Horror)
"Death Comes at Midnight " from October 18, 1942
You won't want to miss this "prophecy of death": follow a man who has a frightful dream that he is destined to die in 48 hours!
