Originally Aired: December 5, 1946
In Suspense #222, “The House in Cypress Canyon,” a grisly manuscript found in a newly finished house reveals a tale too terrifying to be true—until reality begins to mirror the story’s events. James and Ellen Woods move into a long-vacant California home, only to be haunted by inexplicable howls, a locked closet seeping blood, and a creeping madness that drives them to the brink. Is the manuscript fiction, or a premonition? A meta-horror classic that masterfully blurs the line between story and storyteller, culminating in a chilling twist that suggests the nightmare is only beginning.
Cast: 
Robert Taylor, Cathy Lewis
