Back again on Halloween 2020 to binge THE WITCH’S TALE! Thanks so much for these wonderful old historic shows, they don’t go unappreciated. Wish I could experience this in 1932 when radio was still new, no tv or internet, I’ll bet people really looked forward to these weekly broadcasts!

[@OTRHALLOWEENHOLIDAZE]

One of my fav series. Glad you are binging! Happy Halloween!🎃

[@poetryjones7946]

The radio script was re-written as a short story & published in Weird Tales magazine for November 1941, illustrated by Harry Ferman. Here's the editor's introduction: "From THE WITCH'S TALE--that highly popular radio broadcast which thrilled you so often over the air--comes a story specially adapted for the magazine by that famous program's author and director, Alonzo Deen Cole."

That is so awesome! Thanks for the info. One of my favorite series. Can't believe this show aired so long ago.

+Jonathan Michael No Problem! Will try an post more from this series! Thanks for taking the time to listen!

I do not know of any radio suspense / horror dramas older than the "Witches Tale" nor better.

[@OTRHALLOWEENHOLIDAZE]

+Cyan Blackflower Think that is the oldest horror otrI have ever heard! Def is the best!

[@CyanBlackflower]

OTR HALLOWEENHOLIDAZE The "Hermit's Cave" comes close, if anything does.

Glad you're a fan of WEIRD TALES, Robert. I believe The Witch's Tales itself tried it also, as a magazine to compete with WT, but it failed quickly. In any case, it's great to see so many various classic old-time radio shows here; many of them were lost in the old days.

Very early on one of the first on Radio.

[@lynnsbomb]

That was fantastic. I love these old gems.

[@eltondavis6616]

Another thing. I have written and been published a lot on Michigan Indian history and so particularly loved this episode. Back in the late 1990s I wrote and produced a radio demo on Michigan Mysteries for WKNX Radio here in Saginaw, Michigan. I would love to upload this to You Tube but I don't know how to combine the audio with a photograph so that I can up load it. Any advisement????

[@janetlieb2507]

Wow! Have you heard of The Michigan Triangle? I live near Lake Erie in northern Ohio.. The Great Lakes are haunted! Have you written any books?🌊🧜‍♀️

[@eltondavis6616]

Thought I had heard all the "Witch's Tales," but this is a new one to me. Classic show and thanks for sharing it! By the way, Bette Davis did a lot of radio during the Golden Age. Do you have any episodes of her in, "Whispering Streets?"

[@joliepam]

Super!

[@drakescott]

This is one of my favorite horror series. Unfortunately, the overt racism of this episode hasn't aged well, so this is not one I'll be revisiting.

[@feedmysleaze1]

I think it’s an anti racist and anti sexist message.

[@feedmysleaze1]

It’s a morality tale.

[@drakescott]

Interesting. I suppose it's possible I misread it. I confess I don't quite recall the specifics of my objection, as I listened 6 months ago.

Signalling of ever-increasing innate virtue successfully transmitted. Drake scores 12 'I'm Just So Good' points. This is noted and now entered into the permanent record.

[@kellybogues]

A personal favorite. Thanks for sharing.
