Tom's Terror Trove
Hello, and welcome to Tom's Terror Trove, a podcast currently disgorging The Crawling World, an original dark fantasy/sci fi, full cast audiodrama. I also narrate classics and little-known gems of horror fiction: Mid 19th - early 20th century a speciality.
New episodes every Friday, 9am NZ Time.
I’m Thomas, a voice-actor (+ an occasional writer and musician), and I’m delighted to have you join me for tonight's episode.
If you'd like to buy me a ko-fi, I have a page for that!
Tom's Terror Trove
"The Dark" by Arch Oboler | Hallowe'en Special | Lights Out
Two unsuspecting ambulance attendants get far, FAR more than they bargained for, in this disgusting story from 1938.
Running from 1934 to 1947, Lights Out was an old-time radio program devoted to stories of horror and the supernatural. Created by Wyllis Cooper, later in the run it was helmed by the brilliant (and eccentric) Arch Oboler.
I was spoilt for choice in picking an episode to recreate (it came down to this one and Chicken Heart).
Unlike usual episodes of Tom's Terror Trove, this Hallowe'en special makes use of a full palette of foley sound effects.
I hope you enjoy listening to it, as much as I did in working with a script by one of the masters of the genre.
Narrated by Thomas Barker
If you'd like to chip in a couple of dollars to help with hosting and production costs, I'd be enormously grateful.
