It's October, it's almost the end of the month... it's dangerous territory around the October Cauldron. The Ghost of Radio is here to endanger and guide you through it, if you take up that very mixed offer. This October week it's "Knock at the Door", from Lights Out, Everybody. Not for the faint of heart, or weak of arm.

You're back and it's October and it's the October Cauldron, with its special depths of horror for the season. October is our origin month, and so The Ghost of Radio is here to guide you through especially impactful stories--like "Tanglefoot", from Quiet, Please.  All you have to hear is that it's October and Quiet, Please to know that this episode comes with a warning.

You're back again at Cauldronside, where The Ghost of Radio holds aural court over the realm of midcentury horror radio. This week we present the hypothesis that "Mars Is Heaven", from Escape (and Dimension X). Is it a sad story of loss, or a spooky story of brainwashing? and who exactly does it brainwash--the characters in the story, or the listener? Listen and find out.

You're back again, gathering round the Cauldron for another round of midcentury horror radio, and like every round, this one's on The Ghost of Radio. But it's always wise to know exactly what's been put into your drink; this time, you should be carefully examining "The Honeymooners", from Beyond Midnight. Don't worry--we're all doing it.

Hello and welcome to and from The Ghost of Radio, the ambivalent spirit who guides and guards the ways of midcentury horror radio. Each week we're lured into a different episode to discuss, survive, and--we hope--enjoy with a thrill of terror.  This week, it's "Fatal Connection", from The CBS Radio Mystery Theater.  How will we fare? You'll have to join us around the Cauldron to find that out.

Welcome to the Cauldron, where The Ghost of Radio presides over a never-ending boil of midcentury horror radio, all for you. This week, we visit "The Island of Lost Souls", from The Creaking Door.  Sound familiar? It may.  Feel prepared for what we'll find there? You may. But remember the cardinal rule of MCHR: take nothing for granted.
