For the first time in all the years of presenting Gremlin Time, Fortunato arrived at the studio without the program that was supposed to go on for the Halloween show. Also, in all the years of putting on this show, the programs that were always the most trouble, were the Halloween shows, So, as a substitute programs we present a classic radio thriller, "Three Skeleton Key", starring Vincent Price. A drama known for its creative sound effects. A derelict ship runs aground on the small, isolated lighthouse island known as Three Skeleton Key. The lighthouse keepers are surprised to see thousands of rats pore out of the grounded ship. Soon they are under siege, as the hungry rats try to get at the men locked up in the lighthouse. (It took a little time to find the program, so after the end of the poetry show, we open with some classic movie soundtrack music by Bernard Hermann for the film "The Day the Earth Stood Still".Tthe show proper starts at about the 8:40 mark.)
