Austin's Annual Halloween Spook-tacular!: Recent Episodes

Another UFO: Another Supplemental (Document #MVM02) (A Hellraiser Installment)
WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat
On the anniversary of the Roswell Incident this year, we broke open the UFO file here in the Lava Lamp Lounge, and offered a long meditation on that particular corner of UFO-logy. However, I uncovered a treasure trove of vintage UFO documentaries, and decided to get back to that subject, this time for our annual Halloween Spook-tacular. While Aliens are not precisely Halloween fare, it was nice to settle down with something weird and spooky to close out the season this year.

The People Who Died 2025 Edition (A Hellraiser “Singles Going Deady” Installment)
WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat
Digging into the archives again, to look for more music and recordings by The People Who Died, trying to keep it focused to 2025 deaths, for the Halloween Spook-tacular this year. Actual deaths are a lot scarier than anything else I could think of, and there were too many to avoid dedicating a show to all of it. Lynch and Lehrer wind up in the mix, along with many other folks, too many to contain in one show, as all of this spilled over into another show a few weeks later.

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat
It’s the holiday season, and as usual, we find that the once-a-year tradition of seeing the Ghost Hunters emerge and get sighted by any number of local oddball, here in the Mid-Valley. Miss Rikki (of legendary Closet Radio fame) joins me for a tour of the Mid-Valley, in search of ghosts and other mysterious happenings. There’s plenty of music, natch, and we do our best to find the scariest parts of the Mid-Valley… all while trying to raise a little coin for WFMU.

… IN HELL.
WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat
In a rare radio event that was far too long in the making, Miss Rikki of Closet Radio notoriety joins me for a pseudo A Momentary Lapse of Reason reunion, as we join forces as Jungle Room correspondents, who have gone on-location, to a town at the southern end of the Mid-Valley, with the unlikely name of Hell. In this scripted adventure with a cast of characters almost too numerous to mention, we’ll go to Hell and Back just to bring you some Holiday Entertainment. Will we survive this incredible adventure? Who will we meet along the way? Will it all be in the name of ridiculous Halloween fun?
You can count on it.

Dimestore Radio Theater Halloween Spook-tacular 2025! (Part 1)
WFMU Playlist & Listener Comments
We begin our holiday season this year, in traditional style, with a return to our usual October features and fun. We deploy a documentary about Lon Chaney Jr. this year, over the entire month. We also include some excellent stories from radio’s past: “The Horla,” by The Weird Circle, “William And Mary” by The Price of Fear, “The House Where Death Lived,” by The Strange Dr. Weird, and we close with a particularly creepy radio presentation, “Inquest” by the classic horror series, Quiet, Please. It’s the perfect way to get into the holiday season, and it’s all from Dimestore Radio Theater!

20 Minutes Into The Future: It’s Halloween In The Fringes!
(Recorded on 20 October 2023.)
It looks like Heather and Austin have decided to go… trick or treating in The Fringes!? Oh no! This can only lead to a drunken night at Caligula’s, where Heather has taken over the jukebox. Hopefully the good music will protect us from Bruegel & Mahler.
(The voice of our announcer is none other than Xeres of Xeron himself! The doorman was played by Imaginos.)
Heather’s Holiday Playlist is most definitely below.
Austin can’t even work a fake tiara on Halloween. Sigh.
