31 OCT 2021 · It has proven to be extremely difficult to find any information about this radio play, except for that it takes a lot of liberties with the original story and that it was presented by The Weird Circle. The Weird Circle was a 30-minute mystery horror radio series that aired on NBC for four years, from 1943 to 1947. What sets The Weird Circle apart from other programs airing horror and ghost stories, or similar sci-fi fare, is that it focused so heavily on the works of classic, highly-revered authors. Many of the stories are intended to relate to people's fears of the unknown, of a past coming back to haunt one, of misdeeds being repaid in unexpected ways. This is a collection not to be missed, since the show is not as well-known or well-remembered as many of its counterparts. It is of high-quality, though, in no small part due to the greatness of the works on which it bases the episodes. This radio play originally aired on Sunday, February 20, 1944.

25 SEP 2021 · Jim Howard arrives at Cape Howe to meet his old friend Bill Andrews who happens to be a Doctor. On arriving he is startled to find out that Bill owns a private island of his own, a little place where he and John, his Son who has become something of a recluse, now call home. Apparently Jim has a Wife and small child who will be arriving in a couple of days to join them on the island – although Bill sent a rather odd letter before he arrived – requesting his friend bring a variety of books on lycanthropy. If the fact that Bill now owns his own island was a bit of a shock for Jim, imagine when he meets young John after so many years to find that his hands are overgrown with thick amounts of hair.

It stars Ben Morris, Eleanor Naylor Corin, Fred Wayne, Garland Moss, and Murillo Scofield. It was written by Scott Bishop, and Tom Paxton was the announcer. When Frederick Holman visits the Tower of London, he scoffs at the idea of the Tower being haunted. His guide, Mr. Swifte, believes otherwise and is more than happy to show Holman the chapel. Standing in the choir loft, Holman looks down to the chapel below and comments on how deserted it looks. Swifte is quick to differ. He tells Holman that the chapel is not as deserted as it appears to be. The flagstones on the floor, in front of the alter, are the tombstones that mark the final resting place of the Headless Dead. When Swifte goes to lock up the rest of the building, Holman decides to remain in the chapel a little longer and falls asleep in a pew. When he wakes up, he discovers that he is locked in, and long, bony arms are pushing up the flagstones from the floor…
