Inner Sanctum Halloween Month, day 22 of 31: "Deadly Fare"

Yesterday I looked at a hearse driver in Inner Sanctum's "Only the Dead Die Twice." Today the protagonist is a cab driver in "Deadly Fare," which was originally broadcast on July 18th, 1949. The concept is a strong one -- a taxi driver finds himself at the mercy of his latest fare, a murderer. In the hands of Suspense, it would have been a strong half hour. Come to think of it, it has a little in common with the film Collateral, doesn't it?

"Deadly Fare" was hosted by Paul McGrath and featured Larry Haines, Everett Sloane, Lawson Zerbe and Berry Kroeger. You can listen to this episode at archive.org by clicking here
