Reviews

suspense WOW!!!


(4 stars)

This is the most comprehensive collection I have seen to date. It covers it's pilot episode on CBS Forecast ("The Lodger") in 1940 up to 1962. Granted it takes ten pages to do it, but there were so many episodes it couldn't be done any other way. I have always been a fan of the old radio shows like "Suspense" and "Inner Sanctum" (as well as the revival of radio dramas on radio in the '70's with "CBS Radio Mystery Theater") and this collection just whets my appetite for more.

half a show


(5 stars)

You heard one that only the 1st half of the episode exists, so I don't know how the story ends either. I've seen it posted on youtube. Kinda sucks, huh? Don't fret, 'cause you still have about 893 episodes to listen to (if you ever come back here to read this) "Suspense" for me, is a very close 2nd to "Escape" in my personal favorite series list. I've heard every episode of both multiple times now, so it's time to look for a new favorite!

To keep you in Suspense!!!!!!!!!!!


(5 stars)

I agree with the majority of reviews here, except one. The pilot episode broadcast on the Forecast series was not Alfred Hitchcock but Joseph Kearns who was in many Suspense programs also "The Man in Black", who was doing an impersonation of Hitchcock. The impression was unnecessary at the time, for Mr. Hitchcock was not known in the United States at the time. His film, "Rebecca" was in the planning/storyboard stage at the time of broadcast.

Love 'em!


(5 stars)

I bought some of these in a cassette collection a few years back purely out of boredom one day to keep me occupied during my daily commutes. I've since lost the tapes (and my cars no longer accept them anyway) so I was extremely happy to find them here. Thank you! Some stories I recommend: Sorry, Wrong Number; Fugue in C Minor; August Heat; The House in Cyprus Canyon.

Suspense Theme Composed by Bernard Hermann


(4 stars)

In truth, the radio suspense theme was composed by Bernard Hermann, not Wilbur Hatch. These shows are pretty good. However, the audio levels go up and down. Too bad no one is around who can or will fix that. And the tone goes from muffled to tinny to clear. That's harder to fix. Have to take each bad section and adjust the tone.

Hands Down One of the Best Series of All Time.


(5 stars)

This is a great collection of what I would say is some of the best horror/macabre/thrillers ever. Major star power from Orson Welles to Rita Hayworth. Good mysteries, not the usual OTR stuff that has been done over and over either. Get this whole collection. The sound quality on most of the recordings is fair to excellent.

Nice stories


(5 stars)

loved listening to these. some creepy! especially Donovan's brain. orsen Wells was brilliant! give them a try of you haven't yet. the only problem was the Roma wines ads! but I do understand why they are three!

Error in an episode date


(5 stars)

The episode "The Beetle and Mr. Bottle" on 55-08-23 is a missing show, and the episode here with that date is actually 59-09-20, without intro nor exit segments.
