Relatively little is known about Dark Fantasy except that it was a short-lived radio show that ran from 1941-42 out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma radio station WKY on Friday nights, and that the well-received shows were written by Scott Bishop. “Rendezvous with Satan” aired on May 29, 1942, just shy of sixty-eight years ago. Deal …

“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!”
Our last The Shadow episode from February 28th (“Death is An Art”), has proved so popular that one has to go all the way back to the SF radio play from Suspense‘s “Heavens to Betsy” from January 24th to find an OTR episode with more hits–that’s two and a half month’s worth of weekly radio episodes. I’m not sure if “Death is An Art” was an exceptionally good episode of The Shadow or we happened to pick up Shadow fans in general at that time. Nevertheless, and for whatever reason, in response to the popularity of “Death is An Art” we know present another Shadow episode.

Once again we dip into the rich radio archives of Suspense (1942-1962), this week with “The Most Dangerous Game,” which aired on September 23, 1943. Based on the Richard Connell short story which first appeared in Colliers for June 1, 1924, this well-acted, tension-filled dramatization tells of a pre-revolutionary (Bolshevik) Russian aristocrat by the name …
