Thank you all for the wonderful comments and support over the years! What started out as a small college passion project has reached so many more people than I ever thought it would. One day I would love to return to the format and knowing there's an audience keeps that motivation going for me!

[@lawrenegummy4736]

This is simply amazing, please do more !

[@joanmayer304]

I love the reference to Mr. Bartlett Finchley! One of my favourite Twilight Zone Episodes. Thanks for this video. ❤️ from 🇨🇦

[@morgandipierro3468]

Do a part2 please

[@breesco]

Radio plays! Nice! Good production, good voicing, well written. Well done!

[@TheG_Boy]

I love those so much!

[@joanierich6561]

I love how you subtly connected this story into the Tower of Terror one. Your audio quality is top notch and the writing is excellent. Hope to hear more from you!

[@zachmegna7003]

Please do one for the Jungle River Cruise: Curse of the Emerald Trinity

[@SpencerRichardsonOne]

I've always thought that was a fantastic overlay for the attraction, I wish it would come to the stateside parks!

[@fredreindljr1996]

I know according to the Disney wiki, it says Hightower was born in 1835. But I honestly think having this set in the late 30’s (meaning he would’ve been born sometime in the 1870s or 1880s) works better, at least for me. I also really enjoy that you added in original characters to expand on the story. And the dialogue? I could only dream of writing amazing dialogue like that. I’d really love to put this kind of story in writing. By the way, did Emma and Buck survive or not?

[@captaincrunchiii158]

While I think 1939 is a little to late for the finding the Shiriki Untundu considering it killed him in 1899 this is absolutely amazing

[@Mermaids7]

I caught the Indiana Jones and expedition Everest references this is so cool thanks

[@willlyon7129]

Are you planning to a Phantom Manor or Haunted Mansion radio play?

[@musicbox63]

That would be awesome!

[@Ricebread343]

This was very well done, I hope there are more thrilling adventures to listen to

[@EpicMickey777]

I like this one. Tell me will you by chance do a Phantom Manor radio drama in the future?

[@nicktheghosthost999]

This is great! Love all of the references to the other Disney Park attractions and the callback to your Tower of Terror radio drama. Have you ever considered doing one for The Haunted Mansion? I think it would be very fitting!

[@SpencerRichardsonOne]

I have considered it! I have a couple of radio drama scripts in the works that tie together. One involving a mining town, and another one about a creepy old house on Boot Hill...

[@brutusvannightmare7201]

+Spencer Richardson (The Audio Dramatists) I have a Story for Me and you To tell

[@SpencerRichardsonOne]

+Brutus Van Nightmare, I'm intrigued...

[@brutusvannightmare7201]

Spencer Richardson I call it Curse of Castle Balto

[@SpencerRichardsonOne]

+Brutus Van Nightmare feel free to email me a synopsis or a treatment! [e-mail]

[@Full_monty]

By far my fave channel now

[@SpencerRichardsonOne]

Did I mention all past radio projects are now on iTunes for all to enjoy? If you like that, take a moment to consider donating to help us get recording equipment so we can continue to produce shows! goo.gl/442YKV

[@TheElvisJamboree]

So, let's see. What can we connect to this series? "Enchanted Tiki Room", Jungle Cruise? A Tour of Hotel Hightower gone awry? The preservation committee is still a thing in the cannon, Shiriki's gonna have to go to the Hightower Hotel to be preserved with the other artifacts. The Hollywood Tower Story was already done, may as well fly over to the other one & close that gap up. Possibly just so we can get some closure on the Shiriki Utundu Case, a defeat or containment of the idol. Possibly the entire tower collapsing & disappearing even at the end. Mere ideas, much merits to be had. This timeline is so much better, makes me wish this story was used in California Adventure, rather than them to take it down for Guardians Of The Galaxy. Shame.

[@ItsaGoldenman]

Is it just me or does Harrison Hightower sounds like Jesse Cox

[@GoseiDaiShogun]

Are there links to download this? I would love to have this as a radio drama to listen to on the road.

[@BeauNewman1]

I’d rather have music from the 1890s

[@Caine7ify]

Ghost Host? I hope Hightower's accomplices made it out all right

[@dragoniraflameblade]

Do you only do horror radio plays? Are you open for submissions? I have a radio play I'm still in the process of writing and I'm aiming to have the first draft done in 3 months. Would it be possible to send it to you with a synopsis?

[@musicbox63]

What's the exotic sounding piece towards the beginning of the show? I heard it somewhere on another KZbin video but it's not credited.

[@jdm2626]

I think it's from a show called "The Twilight Zone."

[@dogerecords5312]

Jungle Drums by Sidney Bechet.

[@Mr_Ro.0k]

Great job! You have just earned a new subscriber!

[@candelladamanik5551]

Im so scared

[@domomess4719]

Tokyo tower of terror has nothing to do with the twilight zone though...

[@SpencerRichardsonOne]

Domo Mess correct, but he was used in this adaptation of the story: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJetiJx8pZuJrck

[@shinkreytpuylap]

Harrison Hightower III owns hotel Hightower right

[@violentlypink6680]

Such a shame I really liked this old timey radio show
