[@blakespower]

these radio programs are better than watching a movie because your imagination is the one who creates the scenes, so its unique with each person

[@Indy_Bendy]

They are equal to movies both have there benefits and drawbacks.

Love this whole thing. Radio shows were my entertainment as a boy. We didn't have a tv till 1955. Before that one small radio was all we had. After we had a tv i would listen to radio for hours after my early bedtime. I had my own then by finding old abandoned radios and keeping one going by replacing tubes from donor radios. I used an old single ear headset i found that had probes and touched areas till i discovered where to get sound into the headset from a radio not made for it. Pure luck i was able to do it and not get shocked. I still enjoyed radio through the years. Now towards my last years i can enjoy the radio shows of my youth! Wonderful, Thank you!

[@colleencupido5125]

I was born in 1966, well past the Golden Age of Radio. But both my Dad's parents were born in 1888. In the 1990s we were able to buy what amounted to 50+ The Shadow radio shows on audio tape. I married a man 20+ years older, who grew up with radio and was devoted to it. When his parents bought a TV, he told me "I thought I would try it for one night. I never went back to radio." Until he married me, that is!!! :)

[@colleencupido5125]

For the ultra experience, try buying a lp phonograph player that looks exactly like a 1930s style radio. I believe Walmart sells them for $99. Wait until dark, turn on the lighted radio consul on the phonograph, put on old time radio shows and suddenly, it's the 1940s and you're worrying about your husband, father or son off fighting the Nazis in WW II.

[@larrygarrett724]

@@colleencupido5125 Good idea. My uncle a WWII vet and i had identical portable record players then he bought a huge combo record player/radio that was longer than most coffee tables and a beautiful piece of furniture. He had his picture taken sitting on the floor in front of it. He was so proud of it!

@@larrygarrett724 What a wonderful memory! Being born in the hippie era makes most forget it was only 20 years ago that the world of The Best Years of Our Lives 1945 movie existed. I majored in history and so have collected videos of radio's early days. One favorite moment was a clip asking an elderly man What he thought of radio? He replied "I don't take no account of furniture that talks."

[@larrygarrett724]

@@colleencupido5125 LOL, furniture that talks! Good one. The hippie generation was interesting. I lived in San Francisco in 1965 but was in the Navy stationed on Treasure Island. It was RDA school. ( radar) Came back to frisco on my ship for a short visit in 68 so had to go see all the hippies on the famous street that i forget the name , oh yeah.. Haight Ashbury. The major thing that i remember was a girl walking down the street in a macromae dress with lots of holes and nothing underneath. Made an impression on a young sailor. A couple friends and i rented a car and drove to Yosemite National Park for a weekend. Lots of campers there. Great time. History was my favorite subject, still love it. I told friends that hated it to look at it as an adventure story that is true.

When young, I was an avid reader. When I became a young teenager, I discovered the town library. This library was small compared to most. An upstairs room with as much as it could hold for older readers and a smaller room downstairs for younger readers. I enjoyed reading the entire black stallion and Nancy Drew series from downstairs and dark forces and sci-fi/fantasy books upstairs. One day I noticed a cabinet full of drawers. It wasn't one of the filing cabinets with the cards, it had something much more interesting and precious. It was full of maybe a few hundred cassette tapes of old time radio shows. I checked a few out and my love for this wonderful genre grew. I enjoyed shows like X minus one, the Shadow, the Whistler, the creaking door and so many others I can't even remember them. Everything from horror to comedy. It's been years since then and now it seems no one is interested in these shows. It's all KZbin and Netflix. (Lol, kinda funny I found a show you listen instead of watch on KZbin.). I looked for old time radio shows at my public library where I live now but found none. They don't have them because no one is interested in them. I thought I'd never hear those old shows again until I found people kept them alive by posting them on KZbin. I found this and listened and heard a few I don't remember hearing before. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you so much for posting this video for others to enjoy. Thank you for helping to keep a part of our past alive in this day and age.

[@michellebastiani6470]

I wasn't alive then but my parents were coming of age at that time and from everything I've heard and learned from them no things were not simpler. Imo it's that the people were very different in certain aspects compared to today. It's just my opinion but I think ppl nowadays make things more difficult that's why ppl look back to the 50s, 60s and feel that times were simpler because in today's society things are made to be more complicated.

Radio of the Mind on Brando Classic Radio featured many radio plays written by accomplished, but obscure writers, whose product was both frightening, and at the same time, captivating. Driving long hours on the Road Coast to Coast gave me access. to transcribed Radio drama and horror shows, including fullly recorded books for entertainment, going back many years, giving me an appreciation for the classics and contemporary fiction. A complete educational experience available through my local library archives. Learned to love many esoteric writers not widely known outside those readers who had extensive and wide tastes in the odd and bizarre works of people like Lovecraft!

H.P. Lovecraft was beyond his time. A true genius that never enjoyed the fame he deserved.

[@youdontmatter2me]

100% ahead of his time! It’s sad, very similar to Poe, that Lovecraft would never enjoy the notoriety & life he deserved by entertaining so many. I wonder...depending on what realm he currently exists in, if he knows just how much he has influenced literally 1000s of writers, poets, etc. through many years. And imho, he will continue inspiring for years to come.

[@TexasArcane]

He died of stomach cancer from eating cheaped tinned food that was all he could afford. Even then an entire generation of writers he had encouraged knew nothing of his poverty or that he had been unable to secure work in New York. Lovecraft was not hired for clerical roles and proofreading when he was an incredible expert at it. The very best men go hungry but the hacks eat well because even mediocrity is considered a virtue by most.

Having been born in the 1960s, I found I was unique among my peers. To this day I think Cole Porter wrote the sexiest lyrics ever( try "I Concentrate on You")

[@yoloyearwood2477]

this is awesome.

[@kimways390]

I love old time horror radio shows. I like to listen to them at night when I going to sleep.

[@danathompson3344]

Like all of the radio that I used to hear & more!!Great Great Station!

[@lisaguthrie174]

One the best treatments of Rats in the Walls ever! Best music. Satirical. Better than any rat story.

[@melodymichaelis8783]

I love Bruce, he is one of my favorite actors

[@xmobius0ne]

The Thing on the Fourble Board is one of, if not the most, terrifying things I have ever listened to

Nice compilation

[@erickelm4974]

H.P. "Motherf'n" Lovecraft . . . You sick demented genius you💫✨ . . . One of a kind talent, to be certain, and his influence is STILL felt to this day in film, pop culture, and spoken word yet too, apparently. 👍

[@Rickswars]

Radio still rules.

[@neilkendrick4976]

at locdowntimes this sort of thing is needed: cheers.

[@yestermendarkly5699]

Fits-James O’Brien’s - What Was It? Was on the Weird Circle is another story of Cosmic Horror you may want to explore.

[@charlottepage2333]

Oh my god I woke up to this must have been on auto play and I thought little sister was screaming

[@williamstearns4643]

Awesome, from DeBary Fl.

Hey this name cleb Jones caught my eye.. I knew a fellow in the early 70'swith that name from new Mexico.. any relation? .. good work reserectiong the old stuff.. I do enjoy it.. some of the adverts I do get a kick out of

[@calebjones4129]

No relation I'm afraid. I was born in the 80s. Thanks for listening though.

[@dbsommers1]

Brilliant stuff

[@juniper154]

This is the best thing to experience high

[@BEDLAMITE-5280ft.]

Sound quality isn’t good enough for my shitty speakers. Bummer

[@andrew_mcintosh]

Thank you for uploading these, it's great to listen to and enjoy these stories today. Would you mind if I took one of the stories here, "Nothing Behind the Door", and uploaded it to my channel? I particularly like that one. Almost Cosmic Nihilist Horror.

[@calebjones4129]

They're out there for free for anyone who wants to make videos. Go right ahead :). The only purpose of this channel is to spread awareness about old horror and suspense content by presenting them in a format that's easier to digest. Here's a direct link: archive.org/details/Quiet_Please/Quiet_Please_470608_001_Nothing_Behind_the_Door.mp3

[@andrew_mcintosh]

@@calebjones4129 Thank you, very much appreciate that link! It's great stuff and I'm glad to have found it through your channel here. I'll keep listening.

[@bill-2018]

It's a pity the audio is muffled because I had to miss the second story. I was guessing what they were saying half the time.

[@perdidoatlantic]

Listening from the far side of Mars. We are observing your earth.

[@barrygoldwater9450]

I've observed your observations of earth from my subterranean Martian colony, don't make the same mistakes my ancestors made, get underground!

[@NemoUberKitty]

Don't lie. You're really observing from Uranus!

[@caravello6642]

If this is as good as the first one I listen to. ? Zombies from 1972 YOU HAVE ME AS A LIFE TIME LISTENER

[@DigitalEelRich]

Nice!

[@mr.christopher6833]

Caleb, the hour is small and I am drowsy, so tell us a story. Something bizarre and lofi, something told in the blurred and distant voices of men long dead, channelled in the pulsing hiss of a needle chasing dusty grooves... Thank you

[@calebjones4129]

It's probably not entirely what you're looking for but I did a reading of a more recent weird fiction tale ;). kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGWoe6aCrrBqqaM

[@tharealmikezee3165]

2:07:30 "what if there was a telescope for sound?" 🤨 there is! For radio emissions we can't hear/see typically. ..not to mention the stethoscope at the doctor's office!

[@yomammascan]

The volume varies greatly.

[@michaelmerriam1979]

You did an amazing job. Your version of the Black Mass recording of "Rats" is slightly different than the version I found... I love yours, but I'm wondering if you altered it in anyway? If so, great job

[@calebjones4129]

That's just the version I came across first. :) None of these recordings are altered except to mix them a little so they're not wildly different volumes.

[@allenhonaker4107]

Old time radio had the best creepy music

[@miriammcconnell6465]

Hey mystery lovers! I need help. I'm racking my brain to find a mystery radio (I don't know if Suspense, or other series) episode where the plot is a girl needs a transplant, so the father makes a deal that requires him to hit a boy with his car and take him to the hospital and harvest the boy's organs to save his daughter. Then, months later the father comes home to find his daughter gone. There was a note, stating something like "you're a parent, you understand". He also had a vision, or drove to a place where there were children with missing limbs lurching around, lost. It was so freaky, but I'd love to find it! Thanks everyone!! :)

[@MyriadEsoterica]

Northern Lights is genuinely scary!

[@davidlane6297]

Sirius radio channel 148 is all old time radio

[@alanaminor1623]

Amen!

[@garnetjay535]

i love it

[@danjackson4251]

Could a CGI animation of any of these stories do them justice. I'm really unsure if they would be as good as imagination.

[@retired_engineer5354]

The Horse Head Nebula is located in the constellation Orion.

[@angelsaltamontes7336]

Location, location, location.

[@mattropolis99]

And its a nebula - an area full of gasses and materials enough to makes new stars and whole solar systems. Hardly empty.

[@addyourname5570]

The bird sounds in the Dunwich Horror are Bobwhite quail, not whippoorwill.

[@justinchalifoux4424]

YYYYYYOOOOOOOOOO THE THING OF THE FOURBLE BOARD GOT ME FEELING SOMETHING DIFFERENT MAN
