Episode 469 - Stars of "The Canterville Ghost"

In honor of the spooky season, we're kicking off a series of films about things that go bump in the night. First up is the frightfully fun adaptation of The Canterville Ghost with Charles Laughton as a cowardly specter and Margaret O'Brien and Robert Young as the pair who try to help him break his curse with an act of courage. We'll hear the three stars in Suspense stories: Mr. Laughton in "The Fountain Plays" (originally aired on CBS on November 23, 1944); Mr. Young in "You'll Never See Me Again" (originally aired on CBS on September 5, 1946); and Ms. O'Brien in "The Screaming Woman" (originally aired on CBS on November 25, 1948). Then, Mr. Laughton and Ms. O'Brien recreate their screen roles on The Lux Radio Theatre (originally aired on CBS on June 18, 1945).
