The Gaming Gang October Spooktacular 2021 - Mystery In The Air: The Lodger (194…


We're got a treat tonight as we not only get Agnes Moorehead but also Peter Lorre in a weird tale. I've always found it interesting that Peter Lorre was always included in what was considered a trio of radio terror, alongside Vincent Price and Boris Karloff. Lorre wasn't really in many horror films though and is probably best remembered for his roles in The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca; two movies that are definitively not dealing with the supernatural. I think more people would associate Bela Lugosi with horror than Lorre but Lugosi's accent was so thick he didn't actually appear all too often on the radio. I guess that's how Peter Lorre wins out. Tonight we're going to give a listen to an episode of a short lived series from 1947; Mystery in the Air, which featured Lorre every week. He's especially good in tonight episode too! Turn out the lights and get ready for The Lodger on Mystery in the Air as it aired August 14th, 1947.
