I got an email from Dale the other day asking about a radio version of Edgar Allen Poe's The Masque Of The Red Death.  The only version I was able to find was done by CBS Radio Mystery Theater in the early 1970's.  This version is a variation on the original.  It takes place in the 1990's and is more based on the original, than being a literal version of it.  I'm not crazy about updated versions, but I'll let you decide on this one!

On this episode of Vintage Horror Radio, it's an adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's The Pit And The Pendulum. The version we'll hear was adapted for radio by John Dickson Carr for Suspense. This is the third of four radio versions Suspense produced, I chose this one because it stars Vincent Price!

Vincent Price would go on to star in the Roger Corman movie adaptation that was released in August of 1961. The radio version you'll hear today first aired a few years earlier, on November 10, 1957.
