Dark Fantasy - "Demon Tree" (1941)

Dark Fantasy presents “Demon Tree,” episode 4, originally broadcast December 5, 1941. This NBC sustaining drama was written by Scott Bishop and produced by John I. Prosser. At a country inn near England’s Barlow Forest, four friends bound for London hear an ominous local legend about an ancient oak that stalks the woods and strangles those who approach it. A chilling old newspaper account and a possible personal connection to the cursed tale draw them toward the forest path in search of the so-called strangling oak. The cast includes Eleanor Naylor Caughron, Ben Morris, Garland Moss, and Murillo Schofield. Old Time Horror Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
