Terror by Night

Lipton tea and Lipton soup present in a sanctum mystery. Welcome to the shadowy borderland of a squeaking door, all you hardy adventurers. Into the land of a grizzly, ghastly, gruesome, horrid, shocking and monstrous.

I mean in a sanctum. Of course I assume that we're all old friends here, but if by any chance there's a stranger among us, strange romance, perhaps I should state the purpose for which we are here as simple.

Our object is to make your spine tingle and your hair stand on end. That's right. When we're through, you'll discover that a fiend indeed is a fiend indeed. Heavens, you stop talking so scary, or folks will tune us off their radios.

Oh Mary, I'm just trying to scare them into the chills, and they'll have to drink Lipton tea. Well, that isn't necessary at all. For a great many years, people have been enjoying Lipton tea without any persuasion from you.

That famous Lipton flavor has won the praise of tea experts all over the world. And you know, folks, these experts describe the Lipton flavor by saying that it's brisk. B-R-I-S-K. Now, brisk means that Lipton tea always tastes fresh and full-bodied.

Yes, tiny and vigorous, never flatter wishy washy. That's why I always say, you don't know how good tea can be till you know how good Lipton's is. And our friends, let's go from tea to terror.

Heh heh heh. Yes, the title of tonight's story is Terror by Night. It's an original radio play by Amul Tepaman. Tell me, have you ever been alone with fear? Alone in the night and frightened?

Well here's Anne Shepard and the role of Linda Dixon to tell us what happened to her. It was a Friday night, and I think I was already a little nervous as I drove north into the mountains.
