these radio programs are better than watching a movie because your imagination is the one who creates the scenes, so its unique with each person

When young, I was an avid reader. When I became a young teenager, I discovered the town library. This library was small compared to most. An upstairs room with as much as it could hold for older readers and a smaller room downstairs for younger readers. I enjoyed reading the entire black stallion and Nancy Drew series from downstairs and dark forces and sci-fi/fantasy books upstairs. One day I noticed a cabinet full of drawers. It wasn't one of the filing cabinets with the cards, it had something much more interesting and precious. It was full of maybe a few hundred cassette tapes of old time radio shows. I checked a few out and my love for this wonderful genre grew. I enjoyed shows like X minus one, the Shadow, the Whistler, the creaking door and so many others I can't even remember them. Everything from horror to comedy. It's been years since then and now it seems no one is interested in these shows. It's all KZfaq and Netflix. (Lol, kinda funny I found a show you listen instead of watch on KZfaq.). I looked for old time radio shows at my public library where I live now but found none. They don't have them because no one is interested in them. I thought I'd never hear those old shows again until I found people kept them alive by posting them on KZfaq. I found this and listened and heard a few I don't remember hearing before. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you so much for posting this video for others to enjoy. Thank you for helping to keep a part of our past alive in this day and age.

Love this whole thing. Radio shows were my entertainment as a boy. We didn't have a tv till 1955. Before that one small radio was all we had. After we had a tv i would listen to radio for hours after my early bedtime. I had my own then by finding old abandoned radios and keeping one going by replacing tubes from donor radios. I used an old single ear headset i found that had probes and touched areas till i discovered where to get sound into the headset from a radio not made for it. Pure luck i was able to do it and not get shocked. I still enjoyed radio through the years. Now towards my last years i can enjoy the radio shows of my youth! Wonderful, Thank you!

Next to books which exercise the mind and imagination . Radio is and will be the theater of the imagination. Bravo!! 👏👍

Old time radio is the best. I started listening over 20 years. I began listening at night after I went to bed. My husband had passed away and nights were the toughest. Listening to Suspense helped. Had to buy cds then...glad more are easily available now.

When I was a kid, my family and I would listen to these when driving at night on our trips. Great memories!

I go to sleep every night listening to old radio shows. Unlike television, I can close my eyes and see everything in my mind.

The Thing From the Fourble Board - My absolute favorite! I love these old radio shows.

Love old time radio and this is a great collection. Like so many have said below, radio is the theater of the mind. I was lucky to find this out when I was young. Back in the day they would play old radio show on Sunday nights. Thanks Caleb Jones for doing this collection.

Hell! I fell asleep and woke up at that hour in where the creature is making that terrible sound. Absolutely horrific. I've aged 10years!!!!!!!

Listen to this going to sleep. Love it

Please help Keep Radio Shows Alive... Imagination is the origin of Invention

i've heard this story before. Ronald Colman reads it so well - and the other actors were so good, too. really good production! love hearing people from when i was young. . . miss those days (and they were NOT simpler - '50's - early '60's)

Never heard anything like this, wow! What an incredible mind experience, I always thought I had little imagination but this has changed my perception of the way I think, what a revelation, thank you so much for sharing this with the modern world.☆☆☆☆☆

Man, What a wild 3 hours and 40 Minutes alone at night/predawn in my creepy basement working. I'll tell you what, I spent at least an hour and a half turning around to look behind me, hahahhahaha!

The Other Side of the Stars: this is handled so well in radio show! It gives credit both to Lovecraft and to human imagination... & the funny thing is how humorous it is, while at the same time being bone chilling creepy ;)

Takes me back to being a child. Most enjoyable. Thank you.

The Thing on the Fourble Board was genuinely chilling.

Listening to Quiet, Please et al as a child on late-night AM radio, I had yet to read HPL. But soon I did and recognized endless media based on HPL & pals' CH works. Film, comics, TV, radio, video games and more. The Thing on the Fourble Board.& Northern Lights scared me so badly as a child & still horrify. Thanks for posting!

H.P. Lovecraft was beyond his time. A true genius that never enjoyed the fame he deserved.

I'm closing my eyes and pretending I'm in the 40s I'm a teenager and so excited about the family and Frei ends sitting to get Her listening to this dearie radio show. See y'all later!

The great Ronald Coleman! Beautiful voice and quality of diction. A superb radio play, must have been frightening back in those days, also so ....even today!

I will appreciate radio shows after listening to this one, excellent, interesting, genius, it blew my mind. Its creation and professionalism has a very high bar to beat.

THANK YOU, Caleb Jones. Well done. Great collection. 🥂

Many thanks for posting Many thanks being able to hear/understand the dialogue on the QUIET PLEASE shows So many in such bad condition could not hear the clever plots

I would like to break the thumbs of the people who gave this thumbs down. If this isn't your cup of tea then just move on. This is amazing. The amount of work that went into this was exceptional I am sure. Thank you so much. Thumbs up all the way. Subscribed.

Great compilation...you won me over even before I checked out the episodes you collected...just acknowledging “Cosmic Horror” as a genre had me deciding “this is what I am falling asleep to tonight” and probably for the rest of the week!!

Thank you for these. The Thing on the Fourble Board is one of my favorite old-timey horrors. Quiet, Please was so good!

Thanks for this great compilation. I recently listened to all the DART productions of HP Lovecraft stories and decided to go listening to old time radio versions of things related to Lovecraft. So I scoured across my collection of OTR to look for things that sounded familiar and found some of these, but not all. Then I stumbled across this on youtube after listening to a Sherlock Holmes production by CBC Theatre. Great you put a bunch of these together in a collection.

I was lucky. I grew up on a US military base in Germany between 63-68 There was no American TV in Germany and kids my age in the states were watching the Munsters, Batman, Car 54, and the Monkees. I was 12 and my favorite shows were Johnny Dollar and Gunsmoke. Like I said, I was lucky.

I keep coming back to this ...sooooooo good 😇...cheers

I liked the fact that I had to turn my volume down.. Adjusting to my comfort of hearing is a rare thing. No seems to ever complain on the fact that audio recording is mostly on the weak side. Thanks well done. ✔

What a great compilation! I loved the way the dialogue was played in The Other Side Of The Stars.

I love this. LOVE IT! The Thing on the Fourble Board is one of my all-time favorite radio dramas. Terrific adaptation of The Dunwich Horror.

Probably my favorite on this compilation is 1:47:52 Other Side of the Stars. I always look forward to that one for the great radio acting.

What a great collection! Some stories new to me. Really enjoyed this!

Love listening to these while I am painting.

A wonderful collection of gems of the past. Well done 👍🏼 Caleb...

Caleb Jones Wow. This must have taken a lot of time and effort. I had come across a few of these randomly, but it's really great to listen to them together. Thank you so much.

I still enjoy the uploads none the less

Great collection . Thanks for putting this together .

I fell asleep stoned out of my mind.(That's how I enjoy these classic radio shows). I love these old radio shows! I have alot of Lovecraft's work in my library. It's cool hearing it brodcasted. Thanks....✔️

Thanks from Orlando

Thanks for posting these. I love Quiet Please and Lights Out and all of the old radio shows of this genre.

I love Bruce, he is one of my favorite actors

radio , media, forgot how good this was. the miles fly past. listening to these

I chose this audiobook to help me go to sleep , needless to say it was chilling to a point that even sleep went extinct 😂

I woke up to the sound of this toward the end of northern lights, the eerie high pitched wailing and the sound of the “recording “ genuinely froze me in bed for a while

Great collection. Thanks for the upload.

Thank you! This is a very nice compilation!

God, what a fantastic show "Quiet, Please" was. It's a shame it's not more well known.

thank you for this...unique

Really enjoying these during this long sleepless night. Thx for posting!

Radio still rules.

I love all these old stories in records or cassette. I listen to them often and if i found cassettes or records I'd buy them

Really nice love this fire burning snacks covers and pillows dogs low lamp lights thxs 4 making us warm an cozy

Radio of the Mind on Brando Classic Radio featured many radio plays written by accomplished, but obscure writers, whose product was both frightening, and at the same time, captivating. Driving long hours on the Road Coast to Coast gave me access. to transcribed Radio drama and horror shows, including fullly recorded books for entertainment, going back many years, giving me an appreciation for the classics and contemporary fiction. A complete educational experience available through my local library archives. Learned to love many esoteric writers not widely known outside those readers who had extensive and wide tastes in the odd and bizarre works of people like Lovecraft!

Awesome, from DeBary Fl.

Oh wow, these are amazing, especially "Quiet Please"! I've mever heard those before. I'm particularly captivated by the singing caterpillars. Dunwich Horror is a condensed version, well done but the ending pooped out. You got a new subscriber here, wish I found you sooner!

Like all of the radio that I used to hear & more!!Great Great Station!

One the best treatments of Rats in the Walls ever! Best music. Satirical. Better than any rat story.

thank you sooo much. enjoyed these stories and they’re so well produced. (you cut out all the ads - Yea!! :) 🐈🐾🌻 one of the blurbs you left in about TB - was so interesting. (now we have other diseases we need to test for. when i was a kid in the “hide-under-your-desk ‘50’s, (which was fun for us :), we all had measles, mumps, and chicken pox. no one had complications. there was one boy, Umberto, who had whooping cough. i do hope he was okay. but he was the only kid i knew who was very sick. polio was real! everyone smoked. my parents smoked Camels, the best cigarettes, of course. (in my early 20’s, i tried a Marlboro two different times was and couldn’t breathe! :) what’s is literally history to most people now a-days is real for us war babies and boomers. i remember long heavy dark red velvet curtains (to hide the city lights in WWII) on my parent’s friends’ windows in NYC somewhere in the west 40’s, (where it was inexpensive for theatre people to live). even now there are still these long railroad car apartments there, although they are disappearing. i find my mind is racing on - so i’ll stop writing LOL 🐈🐾🌻

Great show!!! THANKS

Thank you for this whomever you are. :)

Very nice takes me back

Hi there! You have a new fan. Like many b4 me, I want to thank you for all of the time you spent sharing your impressive collection with all of us. I can’t remember when- maybe a few years after high-school I stumbled upon some old hard boiled crime radio stories & loved them. And now I find some horror from one of my favorite eras & formats!! *Awesome* 😁👏👏

Im your 9.99th subscriber ... i love this old stuff thanks for sharing

this is awesome.

I love old time horror radio shows. I like to listen to them at night when I going to sleep.

Nice compilation

Oh my god I woke up to this must have been on auto play and I thought little sister was screaming

Fits-James O’Brien’s - What Was It? Was on the Weird Circle is another story of Cosmic Horror you may want to explore.

Caleb naileb'd it! Thank you

Brilliant stuff

The Thing on the Fourble Board is one of, if not the most, terrifying things I have ever listened to

H.P. "Motherf'n" Lovecraft . . . You sick demented genius you💫✨ . . . One of a kind talent, to be certain, and his influence is STILL felt to this day in film, pop culture, and spoken word yet too, apparently. 👍

at locdowntimes this sort of thing is needed: cheers.

Listening from the far side of Mars. We are observing your earth.

Sirius radio channel 148 is all old time radio

This is the best thing to experience high

Amen!

i love it

You did an amazing job. Your version of the Black Mass recording of "Rats" is slightly different than the version I found... I love yours, but I'm wondering if you altered it in anyway? If so, great job

The volume varies greatly.

Nice!

2:07:30 "what if there was a telescope for sound?" 🤨 there is! For radio emissions we can't hear/see typically. ..not to mention the stethoscope at the doctor's office!

Hey this name cleb Jones caught my eye.. I knew a fellow in the early 70'swith that name from new Mexico.. any relation? .. good work reserectiong the old stuff.. I do enjoy it.. some of the adverts I do get a kick out of

Hey mystery lovers! I need help. I'm racking my brain to find a mystery radio (I don't know if Suspense, or other series) episode where the plot is a girl needs a transplant, so the father makes a deal that requires him to hit a boy with his car and take him to the hospital and harvest the boy's organs to save his daughter. Then, months later the father comes home to find his daughter gone. There was a note, stating something like "you're a parent, you understand". He also had a vision, or drove to a place where there were children with missing limbs lurching around, lost. It was so freaky, but I'd love to find it! Thanks everyone!! :)

Thank you for uploading these, it's great to listen to and enjoy these stories today. Would you mind if I took one of the stories here, "Nothing Behind the Door", and uploaded it to my channel? I particularly like that one. Almost Cosmic Nihilist Horror.

Please do more

It's a pity the audio is muffled because I had to miss the second story. I was guessing what they were saying half the time.

The Horse Head Nebula is located in the constellation Orion.

Good story --

👽 neat🔥

Woah...

Caleb, the hour is small and I am drowsy, so tell us a story. Something bizarre and lofi, something told in the blurred and distant voices of men long dead, channelled in the pulsing hiss of a needle chasing dusty grooves... Thank you

Old time radio had the best creepy music

Imagine being a sound effect engineer for these old shows.

Northern Lights is genuinely scary!

I've never heard birds whisle like that
