Death Robbery - Old Time Radio Horror
Episode 25
Tuesday, 2 September, 2025
Lend us your ears and listen to this Old Time Radio horror classic, Death Robbery. Originally broadcast on July 16, 1947, this unforgettable tale comes to the Shiver Show from the Lights Out radio series.Written and directed by Arch Oboler, and adapted for the airwaves with his signature flair for the macabre, Death Robbery explores the dangerous intersection of love, grief, and scientific ambition. When a scientist dares to tamper with the boundary between life and death, he unleashes terrifying consequences. At its core, the story is not just about reanimation and the human soul, but about the hubris of man—and the horror that waits when we push too far.The broadcast features the commanding presence of Boris Karloff, whose resonant voice transforms this already haunting script into a chilling drama. Supporting Karloff’s performance is the eerie and evocative music score by Gordon Jenkins. Mary and Greg talk about Karloff's interesting career and why Death Robbery still resonates today.
