Audio: SUSPENSE – “Drive-In”

Another chilling bit of old time radio.  This time from the series “Suspense” with an episode called “Drive-In”.  It comes from a period in the show’s history when it featured stars, stars and more stars.  So this story, which had originally been produced the year before with Nancy Kelly, now stars Judy Garland.


Garland’s excellent in the role.  But, as with all episodes of “Suspense”, it’s the story that’s the real star.
