This one resonates today...

Norman Rose, another one of my favorites in this series.

It seems these later episodes moved away from the supernatural/horror themes to crime stories, with espionage/ political thriller/kidnapping and international intrigue themes. Too bad really... I keep going back to episodes like The Horla, a personal fave...and other creepy ones. Even so, I still get excited every time I see a new episode posted 😗 Thx Chilly!

[@flanigan_a-go-go]

Violet Femme I noticed that too

[@flanigan_a-go-go]

Violet Femme have you ever listened to "nightfall" ? is a Canadian series from the early 80s... it's really rad .. if you like horror stories ,as do i, check it out

Some are better than others, that's for sure.....Maybe I can get you to pick out the artwork when I do "The Horla" since it's a *Violet Fave*.

[@violetfemme411]

ChillySunshine I'd be delighted! I'll start looking...thx!

[@perrycharlesperry]

[@bige7470]

I wonder why lol

[@gregorycapp6688]

I wonder why Big E wonders why it’s not Fred Gwynne

[@williamnorton9547]

Singularly appropriate artwork, seeing how a certain idiot in power appears to be anxious to start another Cold War.
