Steel yourself for a spine-tingling evening of classic radio horror as we bring to life four chilling tales of suspense and the supernatural. This night of auditory thrills will have you on the edge of your seat, with tales of madness, guilt, and terror in the best tradition of old-time radio. Sit back, but don’t relax—you’re about to experience fear in its most haunting form.
The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe
A tale of guilt and madness, Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart reveals the unraveling mind of a murderer tormented by the incessant beating of his victim’s heart. The psychological horror builds as he desperately tries to silence the sound only he can hear. Poe’s mastery of horror reaches its peak in The Tell-Tale Heart through the relentless tension of a character’s descent into madness.
The Confession of Charles Linkworth by E.F. Benson
In this eerie ghost story, a condemned man makes contact from beyond the grave. Haunted by guilt, the spirit of Charles Linkworth reaches out to the living in a desperate attempt to find peace—if he can be heard in time. As one reviewer remarked, “E.F. Benson’s ghost stories are masterfully crafted, filled with an atmosphere of quiet dread that lingers long after the final word.”
Sorry, Wrong Number by Lucille Fletcher
This classic suspenseful thriller follows the story of an invalid woman who overhears a murder plot on a crossed telephone line. Trapped in her room and unable to convince anyone of the imminent danger, her panic builds as time runs out. Sorry, Wrong Number is a masterclass in suspense, keeping listeners gripping their seats until the very last second.
The Thing on the Fourble Board by Wyllis Cooper
Long considered the most frightening radio show ever, The Thing on the Fourble Board brings to life the strange and unnatural events that unfold when oil workers drill too deep. What they bring up from the earth is far more horrifying than they could have imagined. As one reviewer put it, “The Thing on the Fourble Board is the scariest piece of radio drama ever produced—its eerie realism will haunt you long after the broadcast ends.”
