Campfire Radio Theater
192K
While I don't usually go looking for or enjoy a lot of the free, Care to Donate type of Internet fare, but these are particularly entertaining to me. They are made to be like and/or remakes of shows from some of the radio of Times Past but are scarier shows done with modern sound in mind. I enjoyed them and thought you might too. So turn the lights low or light the fireplace and curl up by yourself on a nice full moonlit night and listen to these lovely little tales. Happy Halloween from me to you.

Great stuff Rick! I downloaded "Hungry Hollow" as a trial run and enjoyed it so much, I'm going to grab the others. Thanks a lot for these.

Thanks Rick!
Thank you Rick. It is the season.
These look interesting. Thanks for the files.

You are all welcome. Bob, I think that The Dentist and Night Chills are newer. I know that last time I was there they weren't. Night Chills was 2012 because it won a Splattercast Award in 2012. ---------------------- R
The ket word here is "began" .. in 2011. There have been seven podcasts over a two-plus year span
Yes, agreed. What I meant was that I had some and that was all that was on the site, probably 2011 and when I went back recently there were more. I agree that with the quality I hear there should be more on a 2 year span. --------------------- R
Actually, these started life as a wildly infrequent podcast in 2011. I still have them on my podcatcher in case the "writer, director, producer, actor" decides to release another one. :>)
Thanks Rick!
Happy Halloween! --------------------------------- R
