Welcome to another edition of the 2024 special Halloween season, Old Time Radio Horror.
For today’s listening, it’s this season’s first appearance from the series “suspense.” The episode title is “The Dunwich Horror.” This script is based on the H.P. Lovecraft Novella, adapted for radio by William Spier.
This episode first aired on November 1, 1945.
As far as the story – this one is hard to explain – Dunwich is a fictional town plagued by a mysterious creature. The creature’s history is just as mysterious, and it all makes much more sense hearing it play out. Otherwise, I’d have to recite the entire story to explain everything, which would defeat this series’s purpose.
