Long thought only a ghostly rumor, the horror radio drama Charnel Bells never aired in its day. Recorded from 1949-51, the show's content and storytelling was deemed "too crazy by half" by then-influential critic Chester Keswick and "downright un-Christian" by legendary radio producer Jean Wooder.Time has not been kind to these old ribbons of magnetic fear, but the painstakingly slow process of restoration will, hopefully, be worth the decades-long wait. Tonight, you are invited to experience a strange phantom, a whispered rumor from the haunted past.Charnel Bells toll once more.
