I used to listen to the CBS Mystery Theater radio program late at night as a kid and, then, in later years tried to relive those happy moments by  collecting old cassette recorded copies of similar radio drama programs.  I stumbled upon this gem, the 1950’s era Escape show and its feature, “The Abominable Snowman”.

The story is presented in an economic style with a handful of characters, emotive music and gobs of sound effects.  All the better that there are no visuals involved so that your mind’s eye can more effectively play tricks on you.  The imagination can be a powerfully suggestive thing.

A search ensues in the Himalayan mountains to find evidence of an Abominable Snowman or Wildman.  Some things are just better left alone.  Tragedy ensues.  Drama.

This is definitely a nice road trip companion to play as the miles melt away.  Just be sure not to pull the car off into some darkly lit, remote location.  Who knows what lurks in the shadows?
