Back again on Halloween 2020 to binge THE WITCH’S TALE! Thanks so much for these wonderful old historic shows, they don’t go unappreciated. Wish I could experience this in 1932 when radio was still new, no tv or internet, I’ll bet people really looked forward to these weekly broadcasts!
The radio script was re-written as a short story & published in Weird Tales magazine for November 1941, illustrated by Harry Ferman. Here's the editor's introduction: "From THE WITCH'S TALE--that highly popular radio broadcast which thrilled you so often over the air--comes a story specially adapted for the magazine by that famous program's author and director, Alonzo Deen Cole."
Glad you're a fan of WEIRD TALES, Robert. I believe The Witch's Tales itself tried it also, as a magazine to compete with WT, but it failed quickly. In any case, it's great to see so many various classic old-time radio shows here; many of them were lost in the old days.
Thought I had heard all the "Witch's Tales," but this is a new one to me. Classic show and thanks for sharing it! By the way, Bette Davis did a lot of radio during the Golden Age. Do you have any episodes of her in, "Whispering Streets?"
Another thing. I have written and been published a lot on Michigan Indian history and so particularly loved this episode. Back in the late 1990s I wrote and produced a radio demo on Michigan Mysteries for WKNX Radio here in Saginaw, Michigan. I would love to upload this to You Tube but I don't know how to combine the audio with a photograph so that I can up load it. Any advisement????
