Saturday Night Radio Drama - Sound Alone Is Scarier - Mike Walker - The Edison Cylinders

Stephen Critchlow,
Laura Hyde.
Produced by John Taylor.

I'm not a big fan of supernatural drama or sci-fi, which puts me a kind of a disadvantage because I'd guess by a large number, most of contemporary audio-drama fall into those categories.   This one got as close to scaring me as any and more than any movie I've seen as an adult.  It didn't scare me as much as the tentacled head in Invaders From Mars did when I was a kid. 

Here's another one, maybe more scary, also based on recovered recordings and supernatural horror.

Julian Simpson - Bad Memories 


Supernatural drama - In 2004, a successful architect and his family mysteriously disappear from their home. Six years later five bodies are found in the cellar of their house. They are identified as Jonathan and Imogen Blake and their son, Matthew; Philip Gibson, who was on the missing person's register and a woman, identity unknown. Forensics determine that not only were they murdered, but the time of death was 1926. Can audio files found with the bodies solve the mystery?

Cast:
Rachel Weir ..... Nicola Walker
Jim Marquez ..... Rupert Graves
Phillip Gibson ..... Steven Mackintosh
Jonathan Blake ..... Anthony Calf
Imogen Blake ..... Jana Carpenter
Matthew Blake ..... Oscar Richardson
Mary Marston ..... Imogen MCCurdy
Boy 1 ...... Ashley Cook

Scary enough for you?
