Masquerade Ball

This was a great spooky episode of the series. Two Americans discover a French ball. The fun ends at midnight. Great cast and effects for an old time radio show.

Unpleasant little story

Horrible, but also predictable. The ending couldn’t have happened to a much more deserving character, so there’s that. It was really just an unpleasant little story, without much point to it beyond being unpleasant.

Ugly Americans in France

This is a Twilight Zone episode in radio format. If you like ghost stories with lots of sound effects and that scratchy record noise constantly in the background, then this is for you.

Two loud Americans look for a good time and manhandle a masked woman at a ball, heedless of her warnings. This won’t end well. Short and fun, although that scratchy record noise was a bit much.
