Tomes of Terror - New Arrivals! Oct. 19-20 & 25-27 @ 8PM + Matinee!

[read-alicia.livejournal.com]

It's tiiiiiiime again for that old-time Golden Age of Radio recreation Somerville has known and loved for over six years! From the Post-Meridian Radio Players, who brought you "The War of the Worlds: The Mob vs. The Martians", "The Sirens of War" and "The Byfar Hour", now bring you "Tomes of Terror: New Arrivals!"

Listen to the voice actors! See the sound effects performed before your very eyes!

Three short, scary stories will be performed, so terrifying that not even Vincent Price nor Bela Legosi will be there to see them!

- "The Shivers on Highway 61", part of the Parsec Award winning Mask of Inanna series, tells the tale of a 1950’s biker gang that has to deal with one of their own returned from the grave!

- Then we go to "The Crasher" where a troubled writer discovers that investigating the party at a nearby graveyard is, perhaps, not the wisest idea. Inspired by the large iron fence around Tufts!

- Finally we present "The Red Line" so that you can join us for the last trip the T may ever make…

All of this plus the usual PMRP retro candies and sodas at the concession stand! Cherry Mash! Bun Bars! Moxie! Come one, come all! Bring your courage, your spine , and your curiosity, but be prepared to leave... without them!

Does this mean there's no Big Broadcast this year?

[audioboy.livejournal.com]

Sadly, it does. This year we're taking a much-needed break from the "Big Broadcast" format and reviving the original "Tomes of Terror" trilogy format that gave us our start. If you saw our Summer Radio Mystery Theatre a few months ago, it's much like that, though a little bit more elaborate.

However, we haven't abandoned the "Big Broadcast" format, nor the WPM Radio concept. In fact, we hope to expand our work on WPM/"Big Broadcast" projects, and are currently considering a "Big Broadcast" show for Christmas 2013 and a possible USO-style show featuring the Byfar gang, as well as a series of studio productions of "lost" adventure serials that supposedly aired on WPM in the 30s, 40s and 50s, which is currently in the development and writing stages.
