STATIC WAX | "The Leech"

from Retro Radio: Old Time Radio in the Dark · host Darren Marlar

"The Leech!" is a novelty doo-wop song inspired by "The Leech," a 1954 episode of the classic radio horror anthology Nightmare (April 7, 1954). When a desperate man kills his lover's husband to finally set them free, he discovers that getting rid of a body is far easier said than done — and the dead have a terrifying way of refusing to stay gone.Static Wax from Weird Darkness Retro Radio brings old radio drama back to life through original songs written in the musical style of the era each story takes place in. Every song is a standalone journey into a different time and a different tale.This one takes you to 1954 — and into an office where nobody can leave, least of all the man who should already be dead.
