Before he thrilled television audiences with Alfred Hitchcock Presents, there were attempts to bring the master of suspense to radio in his own anthology series. We'll hear the three audition shows as we continue our salute to the great director. First, it's an adaptation of "The Lodger" - the audition show for what became Suspense - featuring Herbert Marshall and Edmund Gwenn (originally aired on CBS on July 22, 1940). Then, it's a pair of adaptations of "Malice Aforethought" - first for Once Upon a Midnight with Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, and for The Alfred Hitchcock Show featuring Joseph Kearns.
Two listeners. Two hauntings that don't want to scare you — they want you to join them.Sarah is hoovering the top floor of a converted woollen mill when she hears a loom running in an empty room. She switches off to listen and it stops dead. Then it starts again, louder, right behind her, and the temperature drops so fast she can see her breath. Her supervisor goes quiet: a young woman died at one of the looms in the 1880s.Then Marcus and his brother renovate an 1850s clapboard house in Portland, Maine, with a music box that plays at dusk and a woman humming inches behind him on a locked-up afternoon. But it's his brother's night that lingers, a weight sitting down on the end of the air mattress, dipping it like a person, then rising when he turned on the light. A seamstress had lived and died there in the 1870s.Producer Dom unpacks the darker folklore: the "un-ended" bound to the work they never finished, laying the loom for a second pair of hands and the New England "lodger" who keeps her habits, her song, and above all her bed, waiting for the room to empty again.What happens when the ghost doesn't want you gone… it wants you in its place?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

And Alfred Hitchcock's "The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog" is an interesting look at the early career of one of the most famous directors of all time.Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler.

In February 2018, 47-year-old Julie Reilly was captured on CCTV inside an Aldi supermarket on Paisley Road West in Glasgow. Originally from Auchinleck in East Ayrshire, Julie had spent years rebuilding her life after enduring unimaginable personal tragedy, battling addiction and recovering from a serious brain injury that left her vulnerable. A devoted mother of four and grandmother, she was determined to live independently and remained a familiar face throughout Glasgow's south side. When she suddenly stopped attending medical appointments and vanished without explanation, her family knew something wasn't right.As concern grew, Police Scotland launched a missing persons investigation spanning Govan, Cardonald and the wider Glasgow area. Detectives examined CCTV footage, followed reported sightings and appealed directly to the public for information, while Julie's family desperately searched for answers. What initially appeared to be a routine missing person enquiry soon became far more troubling, leading investigators down a path that exposed a disturbing betrayal of trust and one of the most shocking murder cases Scotland had seen in recent years.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murder of Julie Reilly and the investigation that followed her disappearance. We explore Julie's difficult but resilient life story, the growing concerns that led to her being reported missing, the extensive search efforts across Glasgow, the forensic breakthroughs that transformed the enquiry, and the man who would ultimately admit responsibility for her death. We also look at the impact Julie's murder had on her family, their determination to bring her home, and the remarkable detective work that finally provided the answers they had spent more than a year searching for.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

For over a century, Alfred Hitchcock has remained one of cinema’s most influential directors. Known as the Master of Suspense, this visionary filmmaker directed more than fifty films over six decades. His thriller “The Lodger” (1927) marked the start of his signature style, which was later exemplified in classic films like “Vertigo” (1958), “North by Northwest” (1959), “Psycho” (1960), and “The Birds” (1963). Hitchcock’s work received tremendous success and critical acclaim. While he never won the competitive Academy Award for Best Director, he received five Oscar nominations, two Golden Globes, the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, a BAFTA Fellowship, multiple lifetime achievement awards, and two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Nine of his films are preserved in the United States National Film Registry. His mastery of tension, innovative camera techniques, and psychological depth continue to inspire and influence modern filmmakers such as Christopher Nolan, Jordan Peele, and Bong Joon Ho. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NUJN1fq0Sc Drawing on new archival research, previously unpublished interviews, and a rigorous examination of key biographies, “A Century of Hitchcock” challenges the long-standing narratives that have shaped Hitchcock’s legacy. Author Tony Lee Moral revisits controversial claims regarding Hitchcock’s alleged abuses, scrutinizing biographer Donald Spoto’s interpretations—particularly Spoto’s portrayal of the director’s relationship with actress Tippi Hedren. With his analysis of Spoto’s 1980 interview of Hedren, Moral reveals for the first time how one key document contradicts decades of exaggeration. In this comprehensive reappraisal of Hitchcock’s career, Moral encourages readers to explore the complexities of creative collaboration and the risks of relying on a single biographical narrative. Marking one hundred years since Hitchcock’s first film, “The Pleasure Garden”, and fifty years since his last film, “Family Plot”, Moral reexamines the director’s cinematic brilliance, storytelling mastery, creative partnerships, and controversies, offering a fresh perspective on Hitchcock’s legacy in the post-#MeToo era.
When reading up about pro wrestlers and their lifestyle choices, you might come across the phrase "personal demons." It's a euphemism for drug and alcohol problems, which sadly are a common occurrence when you look at wrestling and its history of premature deaths. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Cola the Lodger exorcise some personal demons by playing songs about drugs and alcohol, whether they're positive, neutral, or negative about the substances. Artists played include Primus, Hank Williams III, The Pharcyde, KRS-One, George Michael, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Kyuss, Melle Mel, and many more. This episode is definitely not passing a drug test.Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrewAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week on The Shiver Show, we take you on a wander down the foggy streets of Victorian London with The Lodger (1948) - a chilling episode from the legendary Suspense series.Set in the working-class district of Whitechapel, fear grips the city as a shadowy killer known only as “The Avenger” stalks the night. Into this atmosphere of dread comes a mysterious new tenant—Mr Sleuth, played (and narrated) by Robert Montgomery. Quiet, intensely religious, and more than a little unsettling, Mr Sleuth arrives with few possessions, a stack of identical suits, and a habit of quoting scripture. Jeanette Nolan delivers a strong performance as Ellen Bunting, the wary landlady, while Peggy Weber plays her step-daughter Daisy, whose naivety adds to the tension. Lucien Moraweck's haunting music underscores this dread tale.Written by Marie Belloc Lowndes, an English author and suffragette, The Lodger is a masterclass in suspense.Thank you for listening!

Hallo, liebe Heldinnen und Helden,Episode 130 des Post-Punk-Podcasts dreht sich um David Bowies Berlin-Jahre und seinen Song "Heroes" - seinen wohl wichtigsten Output in dieser Zeit. Viele Post-Punk-Bands beziehen sich auf den Bowie jener Epoche und da soll es uns doch Anlass genug sein, darüber zu schwatzen. Wobei sich herausstellt, dass wir recht unterschiedliche Einstellungen und Verbindungen zur Musik von David Bowie haben. Dennoch sind wir uns einig: Die drei Berlin-Alben von Bowie, "Low", "Heroes" und "Lodger" sind ein wichtiger Wendepunkt in seiner Karriere. Bowie wurde vom "Thin White Duke" zu einem eher avantgardistischen Klangkünstler. Beeinflusst vom deutschen Krautrock und zusammen mit Produzent Brian Eno wandte er sich neuen Sounds zu.

David Bowie wasn't just a rock star...he was a cultural architect who reinvented music, fashion, and identity. In part 2 of "Why Bowie Still Matters", we explore Bowie's groundbreaking mid-70s to early-80s era: from the cocaine-fueled chaos of Station to Station and the birth of the Thin White Duke, his "Berlin Trilogy" with Brian Eno that shaped post-punk and electronic music. And we'll explore how albums like Low, Heroes, and Lodger influenced everyone from Joy Division to Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Radiohead and others. Meanwhile, Bowie's constant creativity sparked movements like New Wave and the New Romantics. And then we reach Bowie's bold reinvention...again... in the 90s with Tin Machine and Trent Reznor.

It's a weathered tale. One passed down from parent to child. A quiet warning about a flat in an old building where something isn't quite right. Nothing jumps out at you (at first), but the silence in this one gets louder and louder, until suddenly… it's not just a room anymore. Support the Podcast and help it grow!

The Lodger in Room 16 by David Dixon In a faded guesthouse perched on the edge of an unnamed northern town, Room 16 has always had its secrets. When an elusive lodger, rumoured to work in the local cemetery, takes residence, reality begins to fray at the edges. The residents soon discover unsettling truths—each revelation more absurd and disturbing than the last. As it becomes clear that the lodger has always been there, predating even the current landlord, the occupants find themselves trapped in an escalating nightmare, haunted equally by their quiet desperation and the uncanny presence behind Room 16's door. Dixon's chilling tale captures the grim absurdity and psychological unease of modern British horror, where dread seeps through the mundane, and the most disturbing terrors are those quietly entrenched within. ⭐ Join my Patreon ⭐ https://patreon.com/barcud Go here for a library of ad-free stories, a monthly members only story and early access to the regular stories I put out.
