Beyond The Pale

Not too long ago I was driving in the middle of the night through the back highways of Wisconsin, when I caught an old-time radio drama called Escape. William Conrad of Nero Wolfe and Jake and the Fat Man fame (he'll always be Cannon to me), did a great performance of Leiningen Versus the Ants. Well, one of my favorite movie directors, Larry Fessenden, has a great new collection of "Radio Plays for the Digital Age" over at Tales From Beyond the Pale. Fessenden is the man behind such indie horror flicks as Habit, Wendigo, and The Last Winter. These original macabre stories come from the talented pens of Sarah Langan, JT Petty, Paul Solet, and Fessenden himself, among others. The recordings are high quality and tons of fun, and the actors are no slouches either (Ron Perlman, Vincent D'Onofrio, Doug Jones . . .). At $1.99 an episode, how can you wrong? Get the creeps right in your ears!
