Subject: Hands Down One of the Best Series of All Time.

This is a great collection of what I would say is some of the best horror/macabre/thrillers ever. Major star power from Orson Welles to Rita Hayworth. Good mysteries, not the usual OTR stuff that has been done over and over either. Get this whole collection. The sound quality on most of the recordings is fair to excellent.

Subject: suspense WOW!!!

This is the most comprehensive collection I have seen to date. It covers it's pilot episode on CBS Forecast ("The Lodger") in 1940 up to 1962. Granted it takes ten pages to do it, but there were so many episodes it couldn't be done any other way.

I have always been a fan of the old radio shows like "Suspense" and "Inner Sanctum" (as well as the revival of radio dramas on radio in the '70's with "CBS Radio Mystery Theater") and this collection just whets my appetite for more.

Subject: Great series!

I was just watching the Twilight Zone called "Two".
Right where Charles Bronson knocks out Elizabeth Montgomery before she has a chance to do that witch-nose thingy on him, the Suspense theme plays.

Do they have stock music like they do footage and sound effects? Did TZ swipe the music from Suspense? (or vice versa) Do I seriously need a life?
These things BOTHER me.

Subject: Great stuff

A wonderful collection of stories - especially the ones written by John Dickson Carr - but they seem to be 32k rather than 64k.

Subject: Love 'em!

I bought some of these in a cassette collection a few years back purely out of boredom one day to keep me occupied during my daily commutes. I've since lost the tapes (and my cars no longer accept them anyway) so I was extremely happy to find them here. Thank you!

Some stories I recommend: Sorry, Wrong Number; Fugue in C Minor; August Heat; The House in Cyprus Canyon.

Subject: Hitchcock at his finest

What isn't obvious from the description is that this showed started out directed by the immortal Alfred Hitchcock. The first (pilot) episode is a masterpiece of postmodern twists, utterly unexpected from that time period. You'd think David Lynch or John Sayles had done it! Treat yourself to a great classic show.

Subject: Error in an episode date

The episode "The Beetle and Mr. Bottle" on 55-08-23 is a missing show, and the episode here with that date is actually 59-09-20, without intro nor exit segments.

Subject: This is a great show

Along with Fibber Mcgee and Molly at their peak in the 40's, this is the best radio show ever. It surprisingly stands the test of time and still seems fresh after 60 some years.
