Trick or treat! It's time for the annual Down These Mean Streets Halloween Special! In this king-sized bonus show, we'll hear a parade of stories - both spooky and silly - designed to get you in the spirit of the season. First, big screen horror legend Boris Karloff lends his voice to "The Corridor of Doom," a thriller from Inner Sanctum Mysteries (originally aired on CBS on October 23, 1945). The Great Gildersleeve attends a Halloween party (originally aired on NBC on October 29, 1947) and a Halloween prank backfires on Henry in The Aldrich Family (originally aired on NBC on October 30, 1940). Then, it's ghosts vs. gumshoes in a pair of old time radio mysteries. Michael Shayne finds a dead body in a haunted house in "The Ghost of Moccasin Hill" (originally aired on Mutual on April 9, 1945), and a ghost may be responsible for a murder in a syndicated adventure of Boston Blackie. The Origin of Superstition tells us the story of the Boogey Man in a syndicated show from 1935, and Favorite Story dramatizes Washington Irving's classic "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Dorothy McGuire reprises her screen role as The Screen Director's Playhouse adapts "The Spiral Staircase" (originally aired on NBC on November 20, 1949), and Herbert Marshall makes a monster in a Suspense production of "Frankenstein" (originally aired on CBS on November 3, 1953).

Don't change the channel! Each of this week's radio mysteries involve that exciting new medium - television. A man is poisoned on the air as he's about to reveal a murderer's identity in a syndicated adventure of Boston Blackie, and the cops of Dragnet pursue phony TV repairmen in “The Big Screen” (originally aired on NBC on August 9, 1951). A TV quiz show unravels a perfect crime in “Marked Man” from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on March 16, 1952), and John Lund stars as Johnny Dollar in “The Philip Morey Matter,” as the insurance investigator looks into the nervous breakdown of a popular television star (originally aired on CBS on October 13, 1953).

Send us a textToday's episode is my conversation about the 1929 film Alibi. I'm joined by Jeff Kramer from the "Death Star Human Resources Department" newsletter and we talk about the innovative uses of the new sound technology to accompany the film images, the portrayal of both the police and gangsters in the film, and some of the interesting camera shots that the film employs to keep up the visual end of the story. You can watch Alibi on YouTube and be sure to check out Jeff's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:The Blues Brothers directed by John LandisReservoir Dogs directed by Quentin TarantinoFace/Off directed by John WooThe Dove directed by Roland West (partially lost film)Boston Blackie (film series)Cardigan directed by John W.

Our dogged detectives sniff for clues in five canine-related old time radio mysteries. First, the owner of the best in show pooches is killed at a dog show in a syndicated adventure of Boston Blackie, and a dog “tells” Sherlock Holmes who murdered his owner in “The Case of the Dog Who Changed His Mind” (originally aired on Mutual on September 28, 1947). Philip Marlowe is on the trail of a dog - though this one is made out of jade - in “The Orange Dog” (originally aired on CBS on January 22, 1949). Barry Sullivan plays The Saint in “Dossier on a Doggone Dog,” a story of a lost dog and stolen jewels (originally aired on NBC on September 24, 1950), and Barrie Craig is hired to walk a dog, only to discover the dog's owner knocked unconscious in “Beware the Walking Dog” (originally aired on NBC on May 3, 1953).

This time on Case Closed, we begin with Death After Dark, from Nick Carter, Master Detective. That story aired February 19, 1944. (29:33) Next is Boston Blackie with his broadcast from May 21, 1947, Blackie Breaks Into Prison. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/e55e1c7a-e213-4a20-8701-21862bdf1f8a/CaseClosed948.mp3 Download CaseClosed948 | Subscribe | Spotify  | Support Case Closed
