Reviewer: XMinusOne - - November 2, 2008
Subject: Excellent recreation of the Orson Welles Classic
This version isn't meant to be anything more a relatively modern recreation of the classic Mercury Theater broadcast of fifty years ago (October 31, 1938) by people who like old time radio, enjoy bringing old time radio to modern audiences in a live setting, and are good it. Is it as good as the transcript of the original? No, the wonderful sound of the background noise, the cracks and hisses are missing, as are the great radio voices of Mr. Welles and others from the original broadcast, but it's not meant to be a perfect reproduction; it's meant to be a damned good reproduction. And it is. Well worth listening to, well worth enjoyng.
