The Summer People - Old Time Radio Horror

This week on The Shiver Show, Greg and Mary venture into the unsettling world of The Summer People (1975), a chilling episode, written especially for the CBS Radio Mystery Theater by Bob Juhren and narrated by E.G. Marshall and his iconic creaking door (some WD40 would fix that).When young couple Mike (Tony Roberts) and Jane (Jennifer Harmon) arrive in the quiet town of Grenville, everything seems almost too perfect. The town is small and charming, the residents are unusually friendly, and everyone appears remarkably youthful. But why are visitors only welcome if they're under 25? Why are there no children, and no pets?Join Greg and Mary as they unravel this slow-burn horror story that feels like a lost episode of The Twilight Zone. Along the way, they explore the tradition of creepy small towns in horror fiction, and debate whether they would pass the stringent Grenville pre-screening process. Is the explanation supernatural? Scientific? Or something much more sinister? If you love classic radio drama, psychological suspense, and stories that leave just enough mystery for the imagination, The Summer People is an episode you won't want to miss.Listen now—and remember, if Grenville invites you to stay for dinner, you may want to ask what's on the menu.Thank you for listening!   If you like the show, please share us with your friends and family AND give us a review!
