The Ghost Light Theater - Casting The Runes
Hi everyone, James Barnett here, creator and producer of the Night’s End podcast. We really hope you are enjoying Season 3. But before we continue this journey with Jimmy, we want to introduce you to another fantastic podcast.
The Ghost Light Theater is a podcast created and produced by Alvan Bolling II. Alvan is a regular contributor to Night’s End, and we are so very happy to call him friend. More recently, he can be heard on season 3 episode 13 – Aetheric IPA. Head to the link in the description of this episode to hear more of The Ghost Light Theater It is a Horror Anthology podcast hosted by “The Ethereal Actor” Lucious W. Griot, a charming fellow who showcases ghost stories, poems, and plays, to set your imagination alight.
For all pertinent links, head to https://allmylinks.com/theghostlighttheaterpod
For you today, we have The Ghost Light Theater’s re-enactment of Casting The Runes, an adaption of the M.R. James story of the same name, originally adapted by Escape from CBS.
So, sit back and relax, as Lucious, in a cast of one, brings this classic back to life.
Stay Horrific, Everyone.
{Welcome Back to our humble, dimly-lit Theater of the Mind that we lovingly refer to as: The Ghost Light Theater. It's been almost a month since our debut and Lucious & the whole team have been hard at work to bring you something truly special. An art form which has, sadly, fallen by the wayside is that of the "Old Time Radio (OTR) Drama". Some of the greatest stories ever written have either been adapted or written expressly to be showcased on Classic OTR Shows and performed by numerous talented actors. Unfortunately, our host & resident "Ethereal Actor" never got the opportunity to be cast in an OTR play in life, BUT he's making the most out of his Afterlife, and has decided to perform an entire play, which is a favorite amongst the entire team, from one of the most popular OTR Programs, Escape, and their adaptation of M.R. James' story, "Casting The Runes".
