Podcast: Stars on Suspense (Old Time Radio)
Published On: Thu Oct 29 2026
Description: Trick or treat! We're celebrating Halloween with Orson Welles as he stars in some very scary stories from the golden age of radio. First, he plays the count himself in the Mercury Theatre's adaptation of Dracula (originally aired on CBS on July 11, 1938). Next, he's stalked on the highway by "The Hitch-hiker" (originally aired on CBS on September 2, 1942), and finally Welles is a scientist whose grisly experiment consumes his life and threatens the world in "Donovan's Brain," a Suspense two-parter (originally aired on CBS on May 18 and May 25, 1944).
