BONUS - Son of Halloween Hoopla!

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The moon is full, there's a chill in the air, and everything smells like pumpkin spice. It's time for the annual Down These Mean Streets spooktacular special! We're trick-or-treating through the golden age of radio with eight shows that will get you in the Halloween spirit. First, Orson Welles goes for a drive in "The Hitch-hiker" from <em>Suspense</em> (originally aired on CBS on September 2, 1942), and Jack Benny and Harold Peary as <em>The Great Gildersleeve</em> each attend Halloween parties (originally aired on NBC on October 29, 1939 and October 31, 1943). We'll learn about real-life psychic phenomena in "Report on E.S.P" from <em>The CBS Radio Workshop</em> (originally aired on CBS on March 9, 1956) and we'll witness a small town's dark tradition in Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" from <em>NBC Presents Short Story</em> (originally aired on NBC on March 14, 1951). Abbott and Costello pay a visit to Peter Lorre's sanitarium (originally aired on NBC on January 13, 1944) and a recently departed soul learns the ropes in "Good Ghost," a darkly comedic tale from <em>Quiet Please</em> (originally aired on ABC on October 28, 1948). Finally, the world's greatest detective hunts for a supernatural suspect in "The Sussex Vampire" from <em>The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes</em> (originally aired on Mutual on December 14, 1947).</span></p>
