IsThere Anyone Who Doesn't Love A Mystery?


(5 estrellas)

Well, now...the person who complained about the voices in THE FEAR THAT CREEPS LIKE A CAT doesn't know much about the show. Jim Harmon, who produced this remake died on February 16, 2010. BECAUSE the original serial no longer existed Jim just went ahead and co-produced this version with MORSELCO, (the commercial arm of the Morse Family Trust)back in 1996. Some have criticized this production, although the back story of complicated legal problems make it surprising it was even released at all, and a great deal of credit must be given to Mr. Harmon for managing to complete it at all. Les Tremayne (who plays Jack Packard) was a veteran of Old Time Radio. In 1996 Les was 83 so I think he did pretty well. He died in December 2003. If you'd like to see him in action check out THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953)in which he plays Major-General Mann (the guy with the mustache).For the rest of his many movie and television roles check IMDB. On radio check out the THIN MAN series available for download right here as well as the First Nighter Program available at RadioLovers.com and elsewhere. Les was picked because he was much loved by all fans of great movies and OTR and none of us gave a damn that his voice was "a little shaky".

Good Posting! Bad Cast!

Thanks for posting these shows! I'm a big Carlton E. Morse fan. But I've got to say that in the "Fear that Creeps" series, the voices were terrible! Jack sounded as though he'd had a stroke (all trembly), and Reggie didn't sound British in the least. Doc was okay. The writing was pretty awful, too. Reggie said "I say" about 1,000 times, and Doc wouldn't shut up. Way below Morse's level of shows...

The earlier shows were better


(4 estrellas)

Unfortunately, only bits and pieces of the 1940's shows can be found. Those are the ones that gave ILAM it's deserved fine reputation. Of the '50's versions, Temple of Vampires is worthy. The best acting is actually by Mercedes McCambridge, an excellent radio actress and featured performer in a number of films including Giant and Johnny Guitar.

Beats the HELL Out of what Passes for Entertainment Today


(5 estrellas)

These programs, and this show, are top examples of audio entertainment at it's best. As a fan of OTR, I've always considered I Love a Mystery among the top shows. Top performers, and excellent scripts by Carlton Morse. Mr. Morse penned a novel; KILLER AT THE WHEEL, which is one of the best mysteries I've ever read. The basic scenario was this: any time someone caused the death of another through negligence or any other untowards driving habits, the one killed would actually survive, but a loved one of the perp died instead. Divine intervention? The book is out of print, but available used from time-to-time. All these computer corrected no-talent performers of today are mediocre compared to these Carlton Morse programs. NOTHING bad to be said. Thanks for the upload.

You want blood and thunder?

Issues


(5 estrellas)

Morse is a great writer. In these shows he uses his clever skills to write about subjects taboo at the time like incest, alcoholism, homosexuality and nymphomania.

good plots and casting


(4 estrellas)

Plots and casting were terrific. New York cast included Tony Randall. California cast included Les Tremaine. Fun listening and recommended.
