This week on Sunday Night Playhouse, Vintage Classic Radio presents a double bill from Orson Welles' CBS Radio Workshop, bringing to life two timeless tales of imagination and discovery. First, we hear Antoine de Saint Exupéry's The Little Prince from May 25th, 1956, the moving tale of a downed pilot who encounters a mysterious boy from another world, and through him learns profound lessons of love, loss, and the importance of seeing with the heart. Then comes E.M. Forster's The Celestial Omnibus, from August 8th, 1957, the enchanting story of a young boy who stumbles upon a magical carriage that whisks him away into realms of wonder and literature, a journey that adults scoff at until its truth proves undeniable. These stories remind us that it is through childlike eyes we glimpse life's deepest truths, and that imagination often reveals what reason cannot. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this evening's journey into wonder on Sunday Night Playhouse, from Vintage Classic Radio.

When a man's reflection begins moving on its own, he realizes the mirror may be hiding something far more sinister than his own image.A man becomes unsettled when his reflection in a mirror begins to act independently—not mirroring his movements. At first he doubts it, but as the reflection starts making its own decisions, a chilling tension builds. The reflection's actions escalate into something malicious, forcing the man to confront the shocking realization that it may be a separate, sinister entity locked inside his mirror, threatening to take over. | #RetroRadio EP0462Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateCHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:30.028 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “Last Trip of Charter Boat Sally” (July 15, 1976)00:45:28.662 = The LineUp, “The Fur Flaunting Floozy” (September 26, 1951)01:11:10.917 = Macabre, “Man In The Mirror” (November 27, 1961) ***WD01:40:13.336 = A Man Called X, “Stolen Diamonds” (November 25, 1944) ***WD02:09:22.339 = Philip Marlowe, Pigeon's Blood” (June 11, 1949)02:39:04.386 = Dark Fantasy, “The Thing From The Darkness” (April 03, 1942) ***WD03:03:32.178 = The Black Mass, “Shidah and Kuziba” (October 16, 1973) ***WD03:17:27.600 = Beyond Midnight, “The Thing In The Cabin 105” (February 28, 1969) ***WD03:48:17.040 = Mind Webs, “The Great Slow Kings” and “Earthman Bearing Gifts” (March 18, 1979)04:16:28.423 = Ellery Queen Minute Mysteries, “Tell Tale Desk” (1939-1948) ***WD04:17:21.472 = CBS Radio Workshop, “The Case of the White Kitten” (July 13, 1956) ***WD04:46:27.123 = Chamber of Horrors, “The Waxwork” (ADU) ***WD05:12:44.258 = Mystery In The Air, “Lodger” (August 14, 1947)05:42:18.629 = Molle' Mystery Theater, “Angel Face” (December 20, 1946)06:11:40.235 = Mr. District Attorney, “Money Machine” (April 11, 1951) ***WD06:41:34.935 = Cisco Kid, “Mummy In The Desert” (April 21, 1953) ***WD07:08:31.836 = Murder at Midnight, “Mark of Cain” (September 06, 1946) ***WD07:34:01.625 = The Black Museum, “The Brick” (January 29, 1952) ***WD07:56:17.509 = Mysterious Traveler, “Death Has a Cold Breath” (March 29, 1949) ***WD08:21:44.340 = Mystery House, “Subrosa Justice” (April 07, 1946) ***WD08:45:41.038 = Night Beat, “Big John McMasters” (March 04, 1951) ***WD09:15:15.961 = CBC's Nightfall, “Volcano” (March 05, 1982) ***WD09:44:30.235 = Show Close(ADU) = Air Date Unknown(LQ) = Low Quality***WD = Remastered, edited, or cleaned up by Weird Darkness to make the episode more listenable.

IN THIS EPISODE: In 2016, there was something of a folk panic in Yorkshire, northern England, following reported sightings of an eight-foot werewolf with a very human face. It's known as the Beast of Barmston Drain – but most people call him “Old Stinker”. (Old Stinker) *** A man in Louisiana has a magnetic personality. Not for the ladies… but for the paranormal. (Paranormal Magnet Man) *** A truck-driver was not prepared for what he experienced one summer night at a tiny truck stop in the middle of nowhere... hardly the place where one would expect a ghost… if that's what it even was. (Phantom of the Truck Stop) *** No animal had ever made such sounds. Neither the lions of East Africa nor the angry bulls. At times, it sounded like a veritable herd of wild beasts orchestrated by Satan had formed a hellish choir. And that was only a small part of the demonic possession of a girl named Clara. (Demonic Possession In South Africa) *** Want to live on the cheap in Tokyo, Japan? It's easy to do – if you don't mind living with a ghost or two. (Tokyo Ghosts) *** Cryptozoologists are abuzz about recent sightings of a creature seen in the lakes of Connemara in Ireland. The creature is rumored to be up to 30 feet long, with a mane of hair running along its back. Is it a yet undiscovered species of fish? A giant eel? A cousin to the Loch Ness monster in Scotland – or even perhaps a living dinosaur? No one has yet been able to answer the question – but recently monster hunters from around the globe came together in Ireland to try and find answers. (The Giant Eels of Connemara) *** For decades, mountain hikers have been reporting strange things happening on Mount Everest while scaling to the top. Weird events and encounters that could only be described as supernatural. (The Paranormal of Mount Everest) *** High school teacher Pamela Smart fell in love. Unfortunately, she fell in love with a 15-year-old student… and that is only the beginning of this horrible story. (High School Homicide) *** Weirdo family member, Josh Marinkovic, tells an eerie true experience that would shake anyone to the core. (Oh, He's Not Home) *** Weirdo family member Cass tells her story of a disturbing dream, a sick friend, and the temptation to sell her soul in order to save her.
