2017 REPS HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR

The REPS Halloween Spooktakular  with thrills and chills and good old fashioned Halloween fun.  It’s Halloween and precisely at midnight, spirits from the world beyond converge on an old haunted mansion and commandeer the radio airwaves to present their own ghost to ghost broadcast.  At the stroke of “midnight” the ominous clock tolls away and the terrifying spirits appeared on cue with ghostly wails and unearthly screams which serve appropriately to enter in the  mysterious  Horror Host portrayed by Dean T. Moody.   Reminiscent of  the classic radio series, Inner Sanctum Mysteries, the sound of a creaking door opens the program.  Let the mysterious Horror Host take you on a journey into the world of  audio drama as he introduces each of the three Halloween stories.

 Roadside Attraction, is a short story written by REPS author Roger Kim. Best described as a campy parody of a 1950’s B movie, the kind most often seen at drive-in theaters during the era.  The story takes place in Nevada where billboards beckon travelers to stop by and visit a mysterious roadside attraction promising a mystery box containing something creepy and deadly.

Our second tale is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe titled The Cask of Amontillado adapted for radio.   The Cask of Amontillado is a story of revenge set in an Italian city at carnival time.    The Narrator, Montresor,  opens the story by stating that he and his family have been greatly and irreparably insulted by his acquaintance, Fortunato, and that he seeks revenge.  He wants to exact this revenge, however, in a measured way, without placing himself at risk.  He decides to use Fortunato’s fondness for wine against him.  Montresor  lures his mark into the catacombs beneath his home to meet his fate which served as the stories thrilling conclusion that you will not want to miss.

Whispers from Hell , written by John Ballentine, was originally produced and recorded in 2015 for Campfire Radio Theater.  Campfire Radio Theater is a modern audio drama horror anthology series with new episodes released regularly.

Whispers in Hell is set in a large wonderful home in suburbia which sits alone on a quiet street with no neighbors.  Well, no living neighbors that is.  For next door is a cemetery, where reside hundreds of the long dead and buried.   When seemingly harmless pranks turn eerily dark, a young woman is faced with frightening occurrences that may reveal a dreadful secret emanating from the cemetery next door and not anything of this world. Are the creepy and supernatural  activities mere annoyances or a prelude to things far deadlier?  The young female resident, who alone experiences the paranormal activity, may find out  . . .  but will it be too late?

Don’t listen alone!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha . . .
