FEATURING

Gildersleeve's Halloween Party: A wonderful episode of the classic Golden Age comedy series Fibber McGee & Molly from 1939, featuring the McGee's popular neighbor, Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve, and many of the regular characters from Wistful Vista.

The Maid's Bell: An adaptation of one of Edith Wharton's best ghost stories, The Lady Maid's Bell, written for CBC Radio's infamous Nightfall horror series in 1982 by playwright/actor/director John Douglas.

The Monkey's Paw: Perhaps one of the greatest of the classic horror tales, The Monkey's Paw has rarely been rendered in audio format. Penned by W. W. Jacobs in 1902, this adaptation was written for Nightfall by Len Peterson, who has been called "Canada's most prolific and versatile playwright", in 1980.
