Molle Mystery Theatre - "Ghost with the Gun Afrs Myst Phs 138" (1945)

Molle Mystery Theatre presents “Ghost with the Gun,” originally broadcast October 26, 1945. This surviving presentation is Armed Forces Radio Service Mystery Playhouse #138. Hosted by Bernard Lenrow as Geoffrey Barnes, the program adapts Anthony Boucher’s recent short story, later reprinted as “Trick-or-Treat.” On Halloween night, a man answering his front door is shot by a small trick-or-treater in a ghost costume. With few clues and a victim whose connections raise troubling questions, police face a tense, seemingly impossible whodunit in this grounded seasonal mystery. 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.
