This week we feature a thrilling Halloween special with back-to-back horror including works from the Icebox Radio Theater and the Willamette Radio Workshop.

These are the last two stops on our Halloween penultimate event – the six-hour live radio drama fest called Transcontinental Terror.

First, Icebox introduces us to a pair of teenage girls whose relationship starts to… well, suck, in a story of teenage vampires unlike anything you’ve ever heard.

Then, Sam Mowry of the WRW renders us a spooktacular version of the classic Lovecraft tale “The Outsider,” with delicious soundscape thanks to Joe Medina and others.

Stay tuned for the main event!

Radio Drama Revival – Episode 197

Jeff Adams is one talented dude. He’s done very well with his Icebox Radio Theater, and while I love his family-friendly stuff, imo it’s with the creepy stuff that his talents as a writer and producer really shine.

If you doubt this, go tune into last year’s Halloween special when we heard his tale The Estates, or maybe the anti-Christmas story Up on the Rooftops, or even the not so friendly Family Radio.

So it’s with great pleasure that today we feature a rather, ah, “chilling” tale of his from his program Listening in the Dark. The tale is “The Thing on the Ice,” a story about a man trapped against the elements, who’s going to have a hard enough time surviving the blizzard before a horrible thing that should not walk the earth shows up.

An excellent story and perfect capstone for our month of fiendish audio, and a BIG PLUG for my live radio drama show that’s coming Sat, Oct 31, 7-9PM EDT right here on Radio Drama Revival. Killer stuff!

Radio Drama Revival – Episode 146

This week’s guest is Jeffrey Adams, leading creative force behind the Icebox Radio Theater of International Falls, Minnesota. Jeff’s radio history is long and notable, and his passion clear: rather than bury his theater career when moving to the Borderland, as some might, Jeff started something where he was, culling fantastic tales out of the barren landscape of a town notable because of its appearances on the weather channel.

Whether it’s epic tales of the Borderland or twisty sci-fi/fantasy/horror genre tales, Jeff loves to craft tales of wonder and delight. Tune in for this opportunity to hear him speak on the art he loves.
