Ron's Amazing Stories

RAS #711 - Comedy and Creeps


Listen Later

This week on Ron's Amazing Stories, we bring you a haunted double feature that's equal parts laughter and fright! Our first tale stars Bob Hope in the Screen Directors Playhouse adaptation of The Ghost Breakers (April 3rd, 1949). It's a spooky romp filled with witty one-liners, mistaken identities, and a manor full of "boo"s and belly laughs. Then, we trade laughter for goosebumps with Suspense's Ghost Hunt (June 23rd, 1949). A radio host spends the night in a haunted mansion where the echoes might be more than just sound effects. It's one of the creepiest stories ever broadcast. Between our two stories, I'll be talking about why we love to scare ourselves, how humor helps us face our fears, and a few real-life haunted homes that continue to keep the lights on—and the whispers going. So, grab your flashlight and your funny bone—because this week we're exploring Comedy and Creeps: A Haunted Double Feature.
