The Shiver Show
The Shiver Show brings you the most spine-tingling tales of crime, horror, and sci-fi from the golden age of radio. This was an era before TV, before screens—when families huddled around the radio, hearts pounding, as stories of suspense crackled through the airwaves.
From the 1930s to the 1960s, these Old Time Radio dramas captured imaginations like nothing else—and you can hear them now. Carefully curated and lovingly remastered to cut the static but keep the chills, The Shiver Show brings you the very best of that haunting era.
Co-hosts Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn prise open the coffin lid on what made these vintage dramas so unforgettable: eerie scores, masterful voice acting, immersive soundscapes, and themes that still resonate today.
Press play, close your eyes, and get ready to shiver.

Terror By Night - Old Time Radio Suspense
Turn out the lights, lock the doors, and prick up your ears — this week on The Shiver Show, we’re hitting the open road with a woman who should have stayed home. Our featured presentation is “Terror by Night,” a spine-tingling installment from the legendary radio series Inner Sanctum Mysteries, first broadcast in 1945 and written by Amo Tepperman.
Anne Shepherd stars as Linda Dixon, a weary traveller heading into the mountains for a well-earned holiday. But when her car breaks down on a lonely road and the rain begins to fall, she learns of an escaped killer — Lee Hartley — on the loose.
Inner Sanctum was famous for its trademark creaking door, its tongue-in-cheek host, and its perfect balance of humour and horror. Terror by Night is a masterclass in atmosphere — produced by Hyman Brown, this chilling half-hour of radio suspense delivers the shivers.
Co-hosts Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn get under the hood of Terror by Night, exploring how its masterful sound design, voice performances, and classic horror tropes combine to create a perfect fright night. Find out what the patented Scream-o-Meter reading is for this episode eighty years on.
So buckle up, keep your headlights on, and don’t pick up any strangers — the night may be darker than you think.
