Episode 366 – The Horror Masters

Wrapping up our spooky selections for October, this episode brings you stories with nods to the greats, starting off with one last visit to the father of modern horror, Edgar Allan Poe.  Framed by their unsettling asylum, Poe Theatre on the Air resurrects the mysterious Dr. Mallard as your host.  The head of the asylum will bring you to another patient’s room, where you’ll meet an artist who finds himself haunted by “The Oval Portrait.” Perhaps Poe’s shortest work – it was only two pages long when originally published – the horror is no less compelling.  You’ll hear of the portrait of a young womanRead More →

Episode 359 – Marionettes, Mommy, & Murder

Scared yet? If you’ve been checking out the last couple of episodes, you’ve been treated to pulse-pounding thrillers marked by murder and mayhem.  This next tale is perfect listening for a hot summer day, because it will send a chill right down your spine. Campfire Radio Theater returns with “Blood Puppets.”  If you think clowns are creepy, just wait until you hear the puppets of a local television show invade the dreams of an anxiety-ridden single mother – giving her a taste of horrifying events soon to be part of her waking world.  Will there be a price to pay, or will these puppets doRead More →

Episode 358 – Tales from our BFFs (Best Fiends Forever)

New stories from old friends – that’s what’s in store for you in this episode.  We’re continuing our horror motif with some heart-pounding terror from our buddies at Campfire Radio Theater. Campfire Radio Theater specializes in horror, and their expertise shows in this adaptation of the spine-tingling short story by Joe R. Lansdale, “Incident On and Off a Mountain Road”.  Lansdale wrote the comedy-horror novella Bubba Ho-Tep, which became a cult-classic movie with Bruce Campbell. There’s no room for humor in this piece, though — it’s all harrowing suspense when the heroine, Ellen, is figuratively running from a bad relationship.  But after a night-time car crash inRead More →

Episode 260 – An Uncommon Christmas

Happy Holidays, audio drama listeners!  That nip in the air means that Christmas is around the corner – that time of year where radio stations across the country break out their old-school or newly-produced renditions of A Christmas Carol, The Night Before Christmas, or other such tuck.  But we at Midnight Audio Theatre like to mix things up a bit, looking for new stories still related to the holiday season.  We have two such tales this show, as we welcome back friends and past-featured groups Campfire Radio Theater and The Truth Podcast.We start with a country’s desire for new leadership and the promise of making everyRead More →

Episode 254 – RIP

What do you mean, Halloween is already over? Last week, we bowed out to let the fine folks at The Craft showcase their annual evening of original spooky tales and dramas – which means we missed out!  So we put together a post-Halloween story night for you, straight from the annals of Campfire Radio Theater.  Some of you mentioned how much you enjoyed “Rites of Autumn” – or rather, how some of our local listeners were stuck in their car listening to it and thoroughly creeped out – that we’ve brought them back for a full hour of scary tales.  This show takes us toRead More →

Episode 253 – Autumn Comes to Call

Welcome back on another spooky evening for audio drama!  October is drawing to a close, which means a few things for us – Halloween is coming up, along with World Audio Drama Day.  On top of that, WCBE‘s fund drive has just ended, and we can’t thank you enough for your support.  The station has still come up short on the amount it needs to raise to see operations continue another year, however – so if you missed the fund drive and want to help, not to worry!  You can make a donation online at wcbe.org – every little bit helps!  And tell them thatRead More →

Episode 174 – Ghosts, Vampires and Bears; Oh My!

Welcome, folks!  We’re counting down the weeks of our spooky shows!  Tonight we have a trio of stories for you, with some special shorts and a long lighthouse mystery.  We are happy to share with you a new, local Columbus audio production, “The Zombie Teddy Bear“, based off of the children’s book by David Simone – it may sound scary, but it’s actually quite charming.  Following that is a joint production from Final Rune Productions and Biddeford High School in Maine, entitled “Vampire in the Vernal Pool” – part of a project to combine theatre art as outdoors-experimental learning. And of course, we have the secondRead More →

Episode 172 – In Your Mind and Outside the Living

Welcome back!  We’re down to Week 2 of our spooktacular month of October, and this show we have a horror-ful collection of audio goodies to treat you with.  Tonight we welcome back to the show Yap Audio Productions and Campfire Radio Theater – it’s been a while since they were last here, and both groups have been very busy! Listeners of MAT were first introduced to Yap Audio Productions with Season One of their “Aftermath” series, a postapocalyptic story of survival.  They have since released a Season Two as well, in addition to several short, stand-alone pieces and started a podcast.  Their show, the Audio DramaRead More →

Episode 137 – Thank you!

It’s another night of spooky tales tonight, with an extra-special thanks to you, our listeners!  WCBE managed to raise over $200,000 towards its overall goal at the time of this posting (Nov.11), which is a huge help in keeping our station – and Midnight Audio Theatre – going strong on the airwaves!  We’re still short about $59,000 still, however, so if you missed the chance to donate to our parent station, please do so over at their website, http://www.wcbe.org.  Thank you so much for your support! As for tonight’s program, we’re looking forward to sharing more stories from Campfire Radio Theater in preparation for HalloweenRead More →

Episode 136 — Help!

We’re taking a break from Campfire Radio Theater tonight to bring you some spooky stories of our own!  We’re revisiting our MAT Features selections, with “Nirvana White”, “The Ghost of Arch Oboler”, “The Hostage”, and some lighter fare with “The Flower Stand”.  All of these stories are winners of our Scriptwriting Competition of 2013 and 2014, and are recorded and performed by local Columbus talent. Right now our parent station, WCBE 90.5 FM Columbus, is in the midst of their annual Fall Fund Drive to raise money and support to keep the station and it’s programs on the air.  We couldn’t have made all of MATRead More →
