The Strange Doctor Weird

The Strange Dr. Weird  is a radio program broadcast on  Mutual  from 1944 to 1945. Sponsored by Adam Hats, the drama is notable in part because it was a sister series to  The Mysterious Traveler , both in theme and its narrator.  Maurice Tarplin , who was also the creepy voice of  The Mysterious Traveler . Many of the scripts were condensed 15-minute versions of scripts originally broadcast on  The Mysterious Traveler . To the accompaniment of an  organ 's spooky strains, Tarplin introduced each episode: Good evening. Come in, won't you? Why, what's the matter? You seem a bit nervous. Perhaps the cemetery outside this house has upset you. But there are things far worse than cemeteries. For instance... The closing line never changed: Perhaps you’ll drop in on me again soon. I’m always home. Just look for the house on the other side of the cemetery... the house of Dr Weird! The 29 episodes were produced and directed by Jock McGregor and written by  Robert A. Arthur , who also scripted for  The Mysterious Traveler .
