Welcome to a Special Bing Crosby Halloween edition of Sounds Like Radio’s Library of Sound Volume 43. Two of the funniest guys on radio who had their own 3 day a week 15 minute show, Lum & Abner guest star on the Bing Crosby Chesterfield show from October 26, 1949.  

This one’s a funny one and a great one for hearing Bing sing his Halloween songs live on the radio.  Let’s all settle back and get ready to enjoy a Halloween Bing break with the great Lum & Abner!

From the Halloween aisle of the Library of Sound Your Humble Host selects this classic tale from Suspense: “The House On Cyprus Canyon”--perfect for Halloween. And we pulled out all the stops as we asked our favorite people here on Sounds Like Radio to gather together for this one. Sam Spade, Howard Duff himself will be on hand to help introduce the story, Joseph Kearns (Mr. Wilson from Dennis the Menace) and our own Bronco’s father on Great Gildersleeve & none other than movie star Robert Taylor will all be on today’s show. This is a story I first heard as a teenager and there are several versions but this one is exceptional.  Have a piece of Halloween candy and travel to The House On Cyprus Canyon originally broadcast 12/5/46.

A Very Special Sounds Like Radio Halloween Special Vol. 1!!   For a fun Halloween we've got for you The Great Gildersleeve 10/29/47 and the one and only Halloween guest star: Boris Karloff himself will be here with his own brand of storytime along with Alfred Hitchcock, Bing Crosby, Arch Obler's classic Drop Dead album & Louis Armstrong.   We all go Lights Out in a fun and spooky Sounds Like Radio with Your Humble Host supplying the magic.   For a fun Halloween listen to our first Halloween Special!

Now from the vaults of The Library of Sound Volume 41 comes a real goodie just for Halloween, BORIS KARLOFF starring in the bad guy role he originated on the stage in “Arsenic & Old Lace”!   Boris didn’t get to play the role in the movies due to contract restrictions but he originated it and was perfect in it. You’ll hear how perfect today in our radio production from July 6, 1952 on a show called “Best Plays”.

Your Humble Host presents a real Halloween tradition, Arsenic & Old Lace now finally starring Boris Karloff right where he belongs. Listen and enjoy.

What better time to listen to a classic story of a mean old witch than now?   Here's another classic tale, Hansel & Gretel, as told by our very own Great Gildersleeve from Volume 2 of his special set of Capitol Records from 1946 "Children's Stories as Told by the Great Gildersleeve"!   These are the rare 78's from Gildy and what better place to find them than right here on the place for Gildersleeve, Sounds Like Radio and Your Humble Host's Library of Sound presentations.  This is Volume 40 from Vast Library of Sound Vaults.  Listen and enjoy!

A Halloween Classic Story returns to Sounds Like Radio's Library of Sound Annual Holiday Specials!!   It's Halloween and what better way to celebrate than with Bing Crosby's classic story-time record presentation of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow!   One of our most popular podcasts is back, enjoy it and have fun listening to the tale of Ichabod as told as no one else can by our own Sounds Like Radio House Singer who's with us every week all through the year, the one and only Bing Crosby!

Hopalong Cassidy is getting jumpy in this Library of Sound Volume 39 spooky type edition.  Today's episode "Bayou Drums Mean Death" from 10/27/51 sees our favorite cowboy & his faithful sidekick California deep in the Bayou country and things is getting hairy.  Hold on to your cowboy hats for a special mystery magic Hoppy.

In another exclusive Shep show from our Library of Sound Volume 38 it's a Jean Shepherd eerie type story.  Listen as he tells of the time he drove thru the Black Forest of Romania, Dracula country!  It was not a lot of fun either.

Enjoy this Jean Shepherd radio show Your Humble Host recorded on May 4, 1977 which was originally first broadcast on September 9, 1971. The sound quality is excellent and the time is always right for Shep!
