Unknown Broadcast | Life Ends at Midnight: A $1,500 Debt, Life Insurance and a Murder Deadline

from Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween · host Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert

Walter Bates needs $1,500 before midnight, but his mother has barely enough to keep the household going. An elderly boarder’s life-insurance policy gives him a terrible idea. Unknown Broadcast presents Robert Tallman’s “Life Ends at Midnight,” a Suspense crime drama starring Fay Bainter, with Tony Barrett as Walter. A family’s financial desperation becomes a race to turn someone else’s death into money. The clock keeps moving while Walter tries to make an impossible deadline seem manageable. This vintage noir story follows a man whose solution may be more dangerous than the debt.
