The episode playing in this playlists The Room is one of the most terrifying, suspenseful shows ever played. There's only candles blowing out one after the other!

 

The Falcon radio series aired from April 10, 1943 through November 27, 1954. Radio plots mixed danger, romance and comedy in equal parts. Each show began with a telephone ringing and Michael Waring, the Falcon, answering the phone. Speaking with a woman whose voice was never heard, Waring would explain that he had an urgent situation in which he had to deal with criminals. This led into the standard opening, followed by the week's tale of adventure.
