  • Agnes Moorehead stars in another scary Ray Bradbury story called The Ravine. Suspense gave it a different title, which did happen from time to time (I sometimes make a "title adjustment" myself) What makes this episode good is the acting of Agnes the "Old Bagnes," but whatever name you use she's one hell of a voice actor! That's why she's known as the "First Lady of Suspense." The overall audio quality is good, but not of remastered quality.

    I recently have been enjoying the old-time radio genre. Thank you making them available your added information for someone who is new to listening to these classic stories.

    This was my second listen, I was able to walk along side her as she walked down the steps, then we ran...feeling the night fear closing in around us.

      I often come back to stories six months or a year later - the second listen is almost always better than the first! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

    I think Daphne in the Savings Bonds commercial is Sandra Gould who played Gladys Kravitz on Bewitched. I met her in the late 80s. What a sweetheart!!!

    Over the years, I must have heard this classic 10 times. On TV THE RAY BRADBURY THEATER it had featured this story. But, my favorite is this radio version. Jennette Nolan did this one too, but, Agnas is my girl here always.

    I read this story in a Hitchcock collection and it is the definition of suspense on paper.

    Curiously, Wikipedia's short fiction bibliography denies that Bradbury wrote a story called "The Ravine" and instead lists the title as "The Whole Town's Sleeping" as well. Also, while I've not read the original story, this is the third adaptation of it I've encountered (along with Bradbury 13 and the Ray Bradbury Theater), all three of which use different names, and two of them end with Lavinia at the killer's mercy, while the one I encountered first and like best ends with her killing him in self-defense. I'm curious which version is the result of an adapter not approving of Bradbury's ending.

      You raised an interesting point - It looks like "The Whole Town's Sleeping" is the original title!

    @Suspense & ESCAPE! Is there a reason that you haven't included this in your William Conrad playlist? It's obvious he's the narrator.

      As much as I've learned about Suspense and Escape over the years, I've never heard or read of Cheerio appearing in any episodes.( In fact, I first had to look her name up) However, there are A LOT of actors from Hollywood's Golden Age that do appear on Suspense - Check out the 60 different playlists I've compiled. Thanks for listening to my uploads, and thanks for the inquiry. - Charlie

      So I know he had a contract with CBS, which also ran these Suspense programs.
