This episode kicks off October Nights 2022 for Couch And Coffee Table. We present Lux Radio Theatre's adaptation of the 1944 film The Canterville Ghost. Charles Laughton and Margaret O'Brien reprise their roles from the 1944 film for this radio presentation which aired on June 18,1945.

For the last week of September, we thought we'd do a couple of horror comedies. First up, The Abbott and Costello Show with Bela Lugosi. This Show has been logged with two different titles to it, the first is called The New Sheriff and the second one is called Bela Lugosi's Haunted House. This show aired on May 5,1948 which was a month before Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein hit theaters. (give or take a day)

Continuing on with their discussion from the last podcast, Mike and Heather talk about Wizards, Witches and Magicians in film and television. They also talk about magic systems in various story formats.

This show marks exactly one year of Couch And Coffee Table so for this episode the subject is Magic In Film, at least the first part of the conversation anyway.
