THE SHADOW

Recommended Posts

When I was in high school and college, 1210 used to play them one night a week (yes. . . I'm old . . . )  I loved listening!

Because of this, I think that I'm one of the very few people who likes the Alec Baldwin film version . . .

anyone else ever listen to those old radio shows? or read the books?

 

 

Yes.... used to be on AM radio....  my father had them on a lot,  for some reason, even as a fairly young kid, I found them to be pretty cool.  The story telling aspect of it was different than anything on the radio. And the fact that they were either thrillers or horror stories added a bit of coolness to them.

i enjoyed it. it was well done, regardless of how people want to think of it. i personally think that there should've been a sequel, and had that been done properly, we could still be seeing them today

I think the fact that a given show would air regularly on a given night and time and people would work their day or evening around the broadcast slot somehow added to it.  I know that was also a thing for sitcoms or some other tv broadcast,  but that fact that it was radio somehow made it different.   Probably had something to do with it becoming a dying art form when I was able to listen.  Some degree of appreciation for it was a thing back then.
