Old Time Radio: A Halloween Story (1981)

 Between 1981-5, NBC Radio presented a live Halloween special from the Magic Castle in Hollywood. A troupe of actors was assembled with some names familiar to radio, others not so. 

The first annual show presented "A Halloween Story", with film star Yaphet Kotto as narrator, Marvin Miller (ex-The Millionaire), who had been doing voice-over work for the Kroffts during the 70's, and game show announcer Rod Roddy are the announcers. Roddy is heard at the end of the program. Our cast: Film legend John Carradine, Gary Owens (ex-The Green Hornet, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In), June Lockhart (ex-Lost in Space, Lassie, Petticoat Junction), John Houseman (The Paper Chase), Lynn Redgrave, and the husband & wife team of Casey & Jean Kasem.

Here's "A Halloween Story", produced to benefit UNICEF.

Locally, these specials aired on WGY-AM. I remember hearing one of the later shows that isn't presently available online with the same cast.

Rating: B.
