Let's get down to business: it's an intensely frightening episode coming out of the Cauldron this week, and The Ghost of Radio warns you to be prepared as you listen to "The House in Cypress Canyon",  from Suspense.  It's been a source of horror memes since it first aired in 1946, and its impact seems to be eternal, endlessly possessing one listener after another...

Welcome back to the Ghost of Radio and their Cauldron of midcentury horror radio episodes. This week we'll be taking frozen steps through the episode "Poltergeist", from that series of series, Lights Out Everybody. Beware your own perception of real and fake, truth and consequences, because no path through the forest is ever safe.

It's welcome back to the Cauldron, where we have another particularly resonant episode of midcentury horror radio to share in: "Little Visitor", from the epic series Quiet, Please. What other series could tell a tale so subtly unnerving and unpleasant? Just right for we who gather at Cauldron-side.

Welcome back to Cauldron-side as we take a turn toward The Line; rest assured that we won't cross it, even as we listen to "The Rats in the Walls", by The Black Mass.  Luckily we trust each other here at The Ghost of Radio to remain on the side of the civilized, and to stay out of the deepest grottoes.

It's Cauldron time again here at The Ghost of Radio, and this week's dive into midcentury horror radio is "Spawn of the Subhuman",  from the series Dark Fantasy.  We're going to play a little drinking game this week--you'll figure out what it is; whenever you hear a certain repeated MCHR meme, take a drink. But not out of the Cauldron! That would be fatal.

Follow us back in time this week to a young Ghost's first encounter with MCHR (that's midcentury horror radio). It's "Murder in the Script Department", from who else but Lights Out. Maybe it's your first encounter, too, if this is your first time joining us around the Cauldron; if so, hold on tight.

Back around the Cauldron to bob for another episode of midcentury horror radio! This week, it's "Death Comes for Adolf Hitler", from the series The Mysterious Traveler.  Will real world and radio mix in this story, or will we come away feeling like we crossed the wrong line? Only one way to find out.

Hello and welcome and it's into the Cauldron we go for another episode of midcentury horror radio. This week, it's "The Bog Oak Necklace" and it's from... it's from The Inner Sanctum. Well, we are here to embrace horror, not run from it, so we do what we have to do when the Cauldron says that we have to do it.

It's back we are to Cauldron-side, ready to plunge in our bare hand to pull out another episode of mid-century horror radio. This week? It's "The Man Who Hated Scenes", from The Price of Fear.  Surprises galore, from a revival series that actually got it right--they  really understood the spirit of true MCHR, which this Ghost appreciates.
