We haven’t scared you since our summer of suspense, so sit back and scream as more sonic terrors slither into your soul!

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 →

Hello and welcome back everyone!  As you’re aware, we are finally into the cooler weather of Fall and getting ever-so-closer to the end of October.  Which means two exciting dates are coming up – Halloween, and World Audio Drama Day.  When is World Audio Drama Day, you ask? Well it’s conveniently placed the day before the candy-giving holiday.  Not only does it coincide with the anniversary of the original “War of the Worlds” broadcast in 1938, but it’s also the perfect time to track down some really spooky and horror-ific tales to put your ears on edge just before Halloween.  What do we have inRead More →

Here we are in November!  If you were listening on the radio last week, you may have been wondering, “What happened to MAT this week?”, though we’re hoping it was more along the lines of “Oh, what cool show is this?”  Last week we handed over our Halloween time slot as we have in years past to our cohorts at Craft: The Show, who have been putting on a special Halloween storytelling episode every year starting well before MAT was around.  So once again, we happily handed over the reigns for the evening.  If you missed the show, you can find it by visiting crafttheshow.com andRead More →

Good evening, audio drama fans! It’s more of our summer sling, our throwback series, our break from the norm to visit some classics and the homages to them.  We’re talking about once again sharing an adventure of Jack Flanders with ZBS Foundation‘s “The Fourth Tower of Inverness” as well as Blue Hours Productions and their new take on the SUSPENSE radio theatre anthology.
