Back in the day (before computers and social media) my dad would turn out the lights, smoke, and listen to mystery theatre. We shared a one room cabin and it was fun and scary listening to the programs all the while eyeing the glow from his cigarette. This brought back so many memories listening to this. Thank you.

There is a total of 1339 of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater: I am currently on number 369

This was a truly suspenseful and frightening episode!!! Thanks a ton for Sharing this, Chesterton Radio! Admittedly, the story took a turn and twist that I totally wasn't expecting! Sensational acting from the entire cast that created very vivid images of the action and emotions, while I was listening!!

Keep these retro Radio 📻programs coming to me they will never go out of style 😎.

Loved listening to these growing up with my mom on WOR NYC…so many memories

This episode was riveting! One of my very favourites thus far❤

CBSRMT is always good but this episode is exceptional. Really kept me on the edge of my seat. Keep 'em coming!

Got my oil lamp! Just missing the can of Prince Albert and bottle of Johnny Walker...smell of macasser oil and bay rum. Not sure i belong in this timeline, lol!

I remember these as a kid, listening to my radio late at night. That intro music was always scary! Reminded me of the music on the TV series Dark Shadows....

This was made in the 1970s, as I understand but it sounds like it was made in the 1930s or 40s. Brilliant script. Had me thinking and guessing throughout. This would make an excellent movie.

You are correct and Linda is observant. CBS RMT had to recycle a lot of scripts from 1930’s and 1940’s radio, but they were updated with one or two lines to make them seem recent. The “I served in Vietnam” line is but one example. It was still a great show and I loved it as a young boy.

Huge Chesterton fan here. And fan of old school radio shows. This is wonderful!! Thank you!

What a great episode! Thank you for posting!

Couldn't figure out if the characters were naive or plain stupid until the last sentence. Naming their daughter after a homicidal maniac clinched the deal for me. No amount of naivety can explain _that_ .

Why would she stay the night somewhere where two people clearly don't want her there and are being really unpleasant to her?! And why would Jack invite her to his house where his wife and Mother in law live? Why do they all do what Florence says? How did she get away with hacking her Father in law to death. Ridiculous 🙄
