Jada Rowland is enchanting in this episode. Sound effects and music are also immersive. I’ve listened to this one dozens of times

[@karencawthorn3173]

And dont get tired of it, right?

[@toppazthatsmyboyjohnnytapi8948]

I'm seriously addicted to these!!! 🤘

[@gregnutter4658]

This is 10 times better than a video. My mind is picturing every part of the story.

[@bartram33]

Listen to these in bed at night with wireless earphones so as not to disturb my wife. In my opinion, better than videos. Many thanks.

[@louisbrugnoni1291]

pjr1525 I’ve lost interest in videos because of Chilly! 👍

[@tonypike5785]

Robert Gardea what is the name of that channel i would like to listen.

[@Shar1022]

That’s how I listen too! 👍

[@rogerbattsrogerrabbitt]

I remember in Lubbock, Texas in 73 and 74 my buddy and I would drive around town and listen to these old radio shows.What a good time.

[@funniebunnie4u]

I lived in Denver City, back then. 💜 Bet... I was only about 8 yr old... Lolzz ✌️🤠💚

[@kylecurry577]

Thanks very much. I haven't listen to the CBSRMT since the 80s. Great stuff. Brings back the memories.

[@Steve-tr7400a]

I used to listen to Mystery Theater on an AM radio station out of Philadelphia back around 1980. I was about 12 y/o and my bedtime was 10pm. The show didn't start until after the 11pm news, so I had to pretend to be asleep, then I had to keep the volume on my clock radio to an absolute minimum. On school nights I'd usually fall asleep after Act 1, but on the weekends I would try to listen to the whole show. I'm very glad to see these episodes posted here on KZbin for a new generation to listen to and enjoy as much as I did! 👽👻

[@buddycowan6596]

I listened to this radio show in the 1980's on WSB radio. I found them again in 2017 on Old Time Radio app but these were not on there. Chilly you have done a great job bringing this great program back. Thank you

[@edwinvargas8858]

But this aired in 1978, and was forced off the air in the early 1980s- the decade of greed is good.

[@Visitor2Earth]

I gave up watching TV about 6 years ago...now in 2019 TV sucks worse than ever! I listen to audiobooks and listen to radio dramas like this, as it causes the brain to fashion the "optics" of the story!

[@0mega.mechan1c.]

So I'm not the only one. Gave up on tv in around 98 99 or so. Between KZbin and an extensive quality 📀 collection, who needs the LobotomyBox? "I'd rather hsve a bottle in front o'me, than to have a frontal..." well, you know the rest.

[@stevesampson4529]

Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes? My wife and I have been without a tv for about a year and half. And I don’t miss it at all.. I do watch educational you tube videos, and we listen to old radio shows and mysteries, and audio books. I now focus on writing my goals down and meditation. And I’m ( we’re ) much better off !! 👍

[@Germatti13489]

The only time I watch TV is when my husband occasionally wants to watch a show with me. I live on these radio dramas. BBC, CBS, Lux Radio, etc. I especially like them for bedtime.

[@edwinvargas8858]

Radio Mystery Theatre was forced off the air after a multi-year run beginning in the early 70s thanks to the Reagan Republican greed is good 1980s.

[@gregoryadkins2213]

Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes? You're missing out on the Kardashian's.HAHA

[@clfcchris1]

Awesome really enjoyed that one 😀😎

[@alissaward1032]

I’m 35 and for some reason, these feel and sound so familiar to me. The twilight zone (original) is my favorite. However, I can’t fall asleep to these...they scare me! Haha

[@edwinvargas8858]

Radio Mystery Theatre was forced off the air by the mid 1980s.

[@vaultboyfan160]

Great sleep stories. Happy i found them

[@Cat-ix5ip]

Ahh love these fall asleep to them it is the only cure for my insomnia.thanks;)) happy nightmares

[@Visitor2Earth]

Me too, Cat! I suffer from chronic pain and chronic headaches...thankfully sound does not bother my headaches, and during the dozens of hours a week I spend in bed because of headaches and pain, audiobooks help me pass the time and keep my sanity.

[@realtorcsmith]

I never grew up listening to these, heck never even thought about their existence until someone gave me some CD's with Weird Circle, Dimension X, and The sealed book. Started searching You tube and found you Chilly. I'm so hooked on all these radio shows now. Best part is my 13 year old loves to listen with me :)

[@ChillySunshine]

Glad you can enjoy it with your 13 year old, I have fond memories of listening to The Mystery Theater as a kid.

[@epf888]

Carrie smith. thats nice

[@lynnrobinson8885]

Same thing for me! (except for our two cats who love to listen with me) and, even my husband once in a while). I even started buying audiobooks of classics and mysteries but they quickly became too expensive. All I had to play them on was my iPod, but they had very good narrators. It wasn’t until 2017 that I could get an iPad, and found these on KZbin. Thank you again for posting these!

[@jacquiround1193]

Perfect for bedtime- thanks from Ireland

[@edwinvargas8858]

Such happy memories of Radio Mystery Theatre on KMOX Radio at 9:00 PM. This episode in 1978- happy days when life was much simpler.

[@tommyoconnor5930]

When I was in college in the late 1970's, I stumbled across CBS Mystery Theater on the am radio @ 10pm Sunday night. I was hooked after listening 5 minutes. I found out they played the CBSMT only Sunday nights. When I graduated from college, I had to stop listening because my first job was 3th shift. I am so glad they dusted off the episodes and put them out for the public to listen to them...

[@babalon7778]

Nice take on the classic type of story.

[@Creap0fluigi]

Thanks a bunch for these uploads. I feel like a kid again discovering and enjoying these. Mandatory at bedtime for me now.

[@ji5055]

I know I feel like a kid again too. I remember so many things when this time with going on. I love the commercials. It's amazing how the past can really make your future even better. Like a 19 inch color TV wasn't very big deal. Today no one cares about anything. Especially Jesus Christ.

[@ji5055]

Dr. Peter S Ruckman UFOs. From 1975. They're not laughing anymore

[@simonmcgrath4112]

Brilliant series I love listening to these day or night thanx chilly uve given me and others so much enjoyment!!

[@summerreign6963]

These are lovely tales to drop of to. zzzs

[@rogerscottcathey]

Sleeping with your phone on isnt sleep, its exhaustion of conscious state. The only way to get full recharged sleep is in total darkness. No radio noise, no tv, etc. Serotonin production is actually diminished, and even more so by taking serotonin supplements. I know all this and yet do it too.

[@megalorain]

@@rogerscottcathey I set it to only play one video

[@godsconvict777]

Wish i could dissapear in a portal...thanks for sharing these

[@ChillySunshine]

You're welcome Tim.

[@babalon7778]

Same here, If we only knew what was on the other side, they aren't always friendly, but neither is this side.

[@jamesross6640]

I have listened to old radio show since 1988. I was in grade 10. Now I'm 47.

[@dwightgoad1270]

Great story! 👍

[@louisbrugnoni1291]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ I don’t even believe in ET but I still love these!

[@rogerscottcathey]

That's what I'd say too if I _were_ or if I was an alien! lol

[@edwinvargas8858]

Seeing is believing. God knows we need ET deliverance in light of mankind's march to self-inflicted extinction.

[@budahbaba7856]

Yes, yes, an YES!!! No, he will never be alone again! Beautiful! :)

[@JustMe-by7eh]

I listen to these all night long. Takes me back to my teens when life was good. Ty for these

[@DSpeir-pi6tm]

Isn't that the way it always is ? You find the girl of your dreams and she's an alien form another planet 👽🥰

[@raymundostille7426]

Always are...always

[@ufosrus]

Love these stories and they're greatly acted.

[@tracer0017]

These are really great to play when you are driving the highway late at night.

[@UncleEarl97]

I loved this radio drama.

[@BeeHatGuy]

My favorite show to fall asleep to. Didn't know they had an alien episode. Can't wait til tonight to listen to it!

[@DressedForDrowning]

They even have several alien episodes 😀

[@timothymerchant6730]

I. Remember. When I was a kid. The. Intro. Used. To scare me.

[@timothymerchant6730]

I. Listen to. These. Stories. Every. Night

[@simonmcgrath4112]

Timothy Merchant hi, my friend does the exact same thing as u in that when he txts he presses the space bar twice to make a space but inadvertently puts in a full stop or a period if ur from America!! I don't mean to come across as impertinent!!

[@chesterb4339]

Sure good to listen too.......love it

[@Shar1022]

If u just wait an extra second or 2…u won’t have those periods…👍

[@DartanyoValentino-gc9kb]

I love these stories . I listen every night .

[@elizabethstetler8044]

You've hit it on the nail, another fantastic episode- thank you!

[@ronostick9718]

Another great posting from "Chilly". Thank you. 🙂

[@starmnsixty1209]

Many Thanks for these, Chilly... very fine dramas.

[@k.a.5574]

These are great - Wendy Carlos' "Spring" from Sonic Seasonings at 39:00

[@epf888]

good one the voice acting was very competant

[@adamantman3200]

A lot of the actors heard here were very active during the Golden Age of Radio. Several of the music bridges were originally used on many shows produced in the 1950's. Himan Brown was very active in vintage radio as a producer/director. The squeaking door was first used on INNER SANCTUM, which was one of the shows he produced.

[@tonypike5785]

ADAM ANTMAN why are some shows so poorly done, its like they are just reading the lines?

[@williambraval8523]

Yea there awesome! Thank you!

[@stephenhoward3707]

great radio

[@vickymccabe5330]

Totally hooked Thanks

[@PugetSoundFlyer]

My mom introduced me to this show when I was 12/13 on the original run. WBEN at 10pm I think.

[@shaneblankenship8193]

awesome!

[@louisbrugnoni1291]

“When you’re filled with love, there’s no room for fear!” The message of Jesus! 🙌

[@missbirdie05]

The truth....is out there.....

Don't let them fool you 🐑🐏 nobody has to stay inside and force themselves to suffer. Go outside and live..

@CJ Wilemon exactly but try telling that to the 🐏🐑

[@heavenbounddaughter1125]

There are some grammatical errors in the closed captions. Including the transcript.

[@MichaelMcKenna-w7l]

Great theme but not three Acts enough of material Obviously he meets a female alien on Star Hill Pete comes off as …

B rating. Good acting.
