Dark Fantasy - "The Headless Dead" (1942)

Dark Fantasy presents “The Headless Dead,” episode 10, originally broadcast January 23, 1942. This NBC Red Network sustaining drama originated from WKY in Oklahoma City. Skeptical visitor Frederick J. Holman takes an after-hours tour of the Tower of London with watchman Mr. Swifte, who knows every chilling legend surrounding its ancient stones. Inside the Chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula, stories of the Tower’s headless dead—and the grave-marking flagstones beneath the floor—test Holman’s disbelief. Written by Scott Bishop, a pseudonym of George Marion Hamaker, the episode stars Ben Morris and Fred Wayne. 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.
