Hope you enjoy this rare treat. I have added some photos from the films Madhouse (1974) and House of Long Shadows (1980) as a background to this radio play, but please note they dont have anything to do with the storyline.

Peter Cushing And Vincent Price on a train... amazing.

My mum and dad thought this was too late for me to stay up and listen so I 'borrowed'my dads transistor radio and listened to it under the blankets in bed with an earphone.Never thought I'd get the chance to hear it again.Thanks for posting..

[@WayneE42]

Vincent rice, what an amazing man.

[@alexapenn6399]

[@elafimilo8199]

@@alexapenn6399 He was a famous horror actor and, apparently, voice actor. He did a beautiful job reading Edgar Allan Poe's Morella and Ligeia.

[@jonsmum5552]

[@annamariasantini5154]

Troppa calma la sua voce ho sospettato l idea di omicidio era troppo strano, troppo tranquillo. Eccellente. Tutti è due. Price wonderful 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@leebritnell2405]

Both actors good but Cushing excellent!

[@joemifsud981]

So he said he hated scenes.
He certainly created the final one.
Or was that a scene that couldn’t be seen?

[@christophermacintyre5890]

He may have saved himself a scene but not the clean up after the Nestea Plunge.

[@robertquentincobb]

I Love these Shows. they were the BEST! He did one about a black Cat that sought revenge on a man.... Do you have it?
Thanks..

[@glamdolly30]

I believe it's here on CZcams called CAT'S CRADLE.

[@simonhayes3501]

ironically it was Vincent's character who really hated scenes, he let peter's 'character share his table although he wanted to be alone and he said nothing when peter's character had told him what he had done

[@MrVinniesan]

I've got it too. Why didn't I load it up? I don't know.

[@macgyver12345678]

can you tell me from where the still at 2:40 is derived?

[@tintriumph]

which 1 ,the first,the cat traps the man in an old "iron maiden" ORthe other where a man begins to hate the cat,tortures it,and it gets walled up i think,it,s revenge is,the house burns down,leaving a huge cat shaped burnmark

26:58 Spooky!! He drained the pool, and they jumped into the empty pool!!

[@tashareally3959]

Adam Costello DO YOU KNOW WHAT A SPOILER IS?!?!?

[@Slothgreedenvy]

I never even saw your previous comments till then.
And yes, but I didn't think a lot of people watched these things, I didn't know. How could I?

[@tashareally3959]

Adam Costello ok I forgive you :-) :-)

[@frankmcgovern5445]

Seriously? The thing say more that 19,000 views. Don't be a dickbag and post spoilers.

[@soslothful]

Hint! Don't read comments before listening to the program. WOW!

[@soslothful]

It is unlikely two lovers wanting secrecy would jump off a high dive in to a pool.

[@joemifsud981]

Perhaps they banked more than they should have on those pills he took....and the “inky night” that became even inkier without the pool lights.
