"Murder Mansion" from 1950. (23 minutes)
While actually heard on March 27, 1950 I think you will agree this captures a good Halloween spirit:

(7,572 posts)The Saint, Dragnet, Dick Tracy, The Falcon, Philip Marlowe, The Creaking Door! Then I love the hour long dramas like Hallmark Playhouse, Campbell Playhouse, Hollywood Radio Theatre, MGM Theater of the Air; many have some of the famous actors of the past playing the parts; other favs: Lum and Abner, Bob and Ray, Burns and Allen. There are literally thousands of shows which aired from the early 40's up through the 50's. My subscription is from Vintage Radio. Most are free of commercials, but the few that do come on are so quaint and quirky you don't mind them.
