This week on Vintage Classic Radio's Saturday Matinee, we're bringing you a trio of timeless radio classics! First, we step into the macabre humor of "Arsenic and Old Lace", originally presented by Lux Radio in 1946. Unravel the tale of Mortimer Brewster as he stumbles upon his dear aunts' deadly secret, involving poisoned elderberry wine and a few hidden bodies. With an ensemble cast featuring Cary Grant, Jean Adair, and Josephine Hull, it's a dark comedy that's sure to leave you in stitches.

Switching gears, we venture into the eerie with "Night in a Haunted House" from The Abbott and Costello Show. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello find themselves ensnared in a web of ghostly antics in a spooky mansion. Their signature banter and comedic chaos ensue as they navigate the supernatural elements of the house.

Finally, we round off with the comedic charm of "The Great Gildersleeve" in its special Halloween episode from 1943, "Halloween Party". Join Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve in the town of Summerfield as he throws a spirited Halloween bash for his niece and nephew. With practical jokes, unexpected guests, and the usual town shenanigans, it's a wholesome conclusion to our Saturday Matinee.

Join us for this thrilling and comedic journey through the golden age of radio. Only on Vintage Classic Radio!
