Today's show is from Wyllis Cooper, who started as a staff writer at NBC and went to Hollywood for a brief period of time to write for the movies. Perhaps not coincidentally, this story is about a screenwriter who invents monsters for low-budget horror films, and one monster that shows up on New Year's Eve.

Today, a terrific horror story from 1943 by Arch Oboler. The radio series "Lights Out!" made especially good use of sound, as you will hear in this story about two girls on a creepy trip through the woods to see their long lost aunt. Such a sweet little old lady... with a love for animals. What could go wrong?

Most people pay little mind to the tiny creatures under their feet or over their heads. And for good reason. But our monster today is one of those little ones. A couple of plumbers have an interesting hobby: making little monsters big. But be careful as you listen to this episode. You too might get stuck in the "man-paper".

The history of the Golden Age of Radio and WWII go hand-in-hand. Today for Memorial Day we are bringing you one of the most moving radio productions ever done, Norman Corwin's celebration of victory in WWII. It is a beautifully written play that manages to be both victorious and honoring to those who fought for freedom from the Axis; a note of triumph from a war-weary America.
