Old Time Radio Horror — Adventures by Morse: "The City of the Dead Part 1" | Full Episode

from VintageRadioShows.com · host VintageRadioShows

Carlton E. Morse wrote "I Love a Mystery" and "One Man's Family," then went out on his own in the mid-1940s and turned out 52 half-hour adventures for San Francisco private investigator Captain Bart Friday and his drawling Texas partner Skip Turner. This is chapter one of "The City of the Dead," the ten-part serial that opened the series. Friday and Skip are called out to an enormous old cemetery where Bart's father is the caretaker — the man the locals call the Mayor. Waiting for them: a church bell that rings with nobody in the tower, a fresh corpse that has no business being there, and something pale and long-haired moving between the headstones on clawed feet. 🎧 Hundreds more classic radio shows free at https://www.vintageradioshows.com 📱 Listen anywhere with the Vintage Radio app for iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vintage-radio/id455577974
