Amazing to hear this! Must've been a precursor to the old "Candid Camera" TV show, similar in concept to this. Did "Microphone" air as a radio program? Mr. Lugosi was totally convincing in this scenario, the customer believing him entirely. She didn't express any skepticism or subtly play along with what she suspected was a gag. She expressed no alarm or revulsion either. I think she definitely was intrigued although slightly uneasy. Great ending, showcasing Mr. Lugosi's engaging sense of humor. Would've been great to know him!
It's REALLY interesting that when he introduces himself at 3:40 he makes reference to KING OF THE ZOMBIES - a 1941 film he was >supposed< to have appeared in but did not.
