With the Night Dial Project, I have been enjoying more Old Time Radio and less social media. Win-win, sez I.
If you want to hear the Ed Wood Jr. of horror radio, run, check out the OTR series Dark Fantasy. Episodes usually start out ok or dead-boring, then after the break veer into lunacy. “Spawn of the Subhuman” is utterly insane. “The Cup of Gold” is about golf, a hybrid planet and reincarnation (!?!).
