I think this show is great alot of comments about William Verdier and his voice although kinda dry he is one of the creators and the main writer I wish there were more than 9 episodes made. the missing episode which had an air date of 12/25/62 was called "Of Frankensence and Myrth" it was holiday themed and from what I read it was pretty racey for the early 60's.

Subject: Off-putting
The stories of Macabre are pretty good, the fatal flaw is the actor in every episode who sounds like Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager. I'm afraid he ruined this show for me. No offense to Vulcans.

I remember listening to these stories on Some a.m.(WoWo I think) station at night back in the early 70's with a small battery powered transistor radio a neighbor had toss out.I repaired the damage to it and would wait to hear the sound of that creaking door for the story to start.I hope you post more of them.I would like to hear the one about a mirror that had the Laughing faces.

I love the lead actors delivery (William Verdier?) it's so dry..Well worth listening to all the episodes, wish there were more..Great intro music and effects too..

Subject: Extremely good horror series
This is one of the best horror series I have listened to. The first one, Final Resting Place, reminds me a helluva lot of some of those wacky pre-code horror comics of the 1950s. If you are at all claustrophobic it might actually drive you a bit mad. Even though the ending is a bit - well, odd, it doesn't matter, as the whole story is so well told. In all the episodes I've listened to so far the lead is taken by a guy with this deep fruity voice, It's as if some Colonel said to one of his soldiers, Hey fella. That's one hell of a fruity voice you've got there, and so the FEN decided to make a radio series with him as the star.
The sound is 100%. Thanks for the upload; I recommend this series to everyone - it's scary!

Subject: Decent show
For what it is, Macabre is a decent show with some genuinely spooky moments. The acting is a bit stunted at times like the lines were being read by a nervous teenager at his girlfriend's family dinner, but overall not a bad way to spend 30 minutes.

The Man In The Mirror is really quite scary!

Subject: Amazingly good
Unfortunately, I have no idea when these were produced. However, the sound quality and the story lines were both top notch. I would have no problem arguing that these stories are every bit as intriguing as TV's 'Twilight Zone,' or the Australian version of "The Clock." As a previous reviewer noted, it seems to have been done by a group of servicemen. Highly recommended.

This is another run of OTR ( Old Time Radio ). This collection contains 8 shows that feature creepy or mystery stories. THere's no real horror here, but some of them do get down right spooky.

The show seems to have been produced for the U.S Armed Forces Radio and even stars some men in uniform, not as soldiers but as actors, and as sound engineers!

It's an amusing collection of 30 minutes episodes. As you might expect there is some hiss, and the occassional scream might put your ear drums to flight.

Over all I enjoyed these shows. Best listened to one per day, as all at once and they are likely to lose "the edge". Listen in a darkened room for best effect :)
