This Friday on Vintage Classic Radio's "Friday Night Noir," we bring back chills and thrills with two classic horror shows.

Our first feature is the spine-tingling episode "Poltergeist" from the iconic "Lights Out" radio series, originally aired on October 20, 1942. In this eerie tale, three women face the supernatural wrath of objects seemingly moving by themselves, culminating in a deadly supernatural encounter that promises to leave listeners on the edge of their seats. This episode starred Miriam Wolfe, Betty Winkler, and Alice Frost, under the masterful direction of Arch Oboler. Oboler's penchant for pushing the boundaries of radio horror is vividly showcased here, making "Poltergeist" a memorable broadcast that has haunted the airwaves for decades.

Following that, we dive into the mysterious "The Haunting Hour," featuring the episode "Tapping on the Window," which first chilled spines in 1946. In this gripping narrative, a late-night encounter leads to a ghostly revelation. The precise cast details for this episode remain somewhat obscured by time, but like many episodes of "The Haunting Hour," the production was renowned for its atmospheric tension and expert pacing, characteristics that made the series a staple of vintage radio horror.

Tune in this Friday for an unforgettable journey into the past, where the eerie and the unexplained come to life through the magic of radio.
