Happy Halloween, IDSers!! Enjoy our presentation of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher from the old radio series, Escape!
From Generic Radio Workshop:
“We Promise You…Escape!” makes a suitable counterpoint to those tales “Well-Calculated to Keep You in…Suspense!” — an anthology of high adventure to contrast with Suspense’s low cunning. Some stories could adapt to either program (and several were) , but Escape emphasized the thrills to Suspense’s chills. Three Skeleton Key may be Escape’s best-remembered episode, and creating the sound of hundreds of rats is still a challenge for any audio effects artist today.
Paul Frees and William Conrad were two of the brilliant late-era radio talents who added a dose of testosterone to the exiting adventures for listeners who “tired of the everyday grind.”
