This week on The Shiver Show, we tune to Drive-In, a standout 1946 episode from the Suspense series.

In this taut drama, the legendary Judy Garland steps away from her familiar world of musicals and light romcoms to deliver a rare and powerful dramatic performance. She plays a young waitress closing up a Southern California drive-in restaurant for the night—just one more customer to serve before she can head home. But when that final order is placed, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary customer.

That sinister patron is brought to life by Elliott Lewis, a gifted performer who goes on to become one of the most influential figures in radio as an actor, producer, director, and writer. Lewis lends his voice a chilling calm, perfectly balancing Garland’s vulnerability and tension. 

After you listen to the remastered recording of Drive-in, stick around and hear Mary and Greg talk about Drive-In's tight pacing, excellent sound effects, and Judy Garland's masterful voice acting. Nearly eighty years on, Drive-in still grips the listener. 

So dim the lights, settle in, and join us as we bring you Judy Garland in Suspense’s unforgettable Drive-In on The Shiver Show.
