Terror By Night - Old Time Radio Suspense

Turn out the lights, lock the doors, and prick up your ears — this week on The Shiver Show, we’re hitting the open road with a woman who should have stayed home. Our featured presentation is “Terror by Night,” a spine-tingling installment from the legendary radio series Inner Sanctum Mysteries, first broadcast in 1945 and written by Amo Tepperman.

Anne Shepherd stars as Linda Dixon, a weary traveller heading into the mountains for a well-earned holiday. But when her car breaks down on a lonely road and the rain begins to fall, she learns of an escaped killer — Lee Hartley — on the loose.

Inner Sanctum was famous for its trademark creaking door, its tongue-in-cheek host, and its perfect balance of humour and horror. Terror by Night is a masterclass in atmosphere — produced by Hyman Brown, this chilling half-hour of radio suspense delivers the shivers.

Co-hosts Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn get under the hood of Terror by Night, exploring how its masterful sound design, voice performances, and classic horror tropes combine to create a perfect fright night. Find out what the patented Scream-o-Meter reading is for this episode eighty years on.

So buckle up, keep your headlights on, and don’t pick up any strangers — the night may be darker than you think.
