It’s time once again to turn to one of my favorite short lived series, Quiet Please. I think for my money, no series packed as many quality episodes into such a short period of time. Of course not every episode was terrifying and sometimes Willis Cooper presented a far more lighthearted tale; just like tonight’s.
Then again, how often is a radio program about planning a murder lighthearted?
Switch off the lights and give a listen to Don’t Tell Me About Halloween from Quiet Please as it aired on October 27th, 1947.

On a quick side note, most visitors to TGG probably don’t know I ran an old time radio website quite a few years back and I have tens of thousands of radio shows in my collection. Each of the programs I’ll share during the Spooktacular have had their audio personally cleaned up by me to remove many of the pops, crackles, and hisses so common with old time radio recordings. These aren’t pristine by any means but keep in mind the original broadcasts you’ll be hearing are anywhere from fifty to eighty years old…
