I remember taping this one off the radio when I was 13. It was a stormy winter night (12/19/80) which really added to the atmosphere of the story.

This episode is a fine example of how radio shows have a distinct edge over T.V. and movies--a few sound effects, some well delivered lines by talented actors and viola!-- instant gothic horror. This one has all the elements for it-- young love and an older, more mature love (The innkeepers) and an alluring, seductive "succubus" (Joan Lorring-- one of RMT's best resident "witches" --really the first--with her apperance in just the 7th broadcast as an actual witch in "I Warn You Three Times").

The ending with the horrified screams is just perfect!

Speaking of "The Blair Witch Project" -- I've always enjoyed that movie, especially 'cause it borrows one of the most important-- if not THE most important -- element of radio-- all the terror is left completely to the "Theater of the Mind". All the supernatural aspects are created by the viewer's imagination. I thought it was a clever film-- if for no other reason than that. More horror films should take a cue from it.

Until Next Time..................
