Inner Sanctum Halloween Month, day 29 of 31: "Strange Passenger"

Earlier I looked at the Inner Sanctum episode "The Hitch-Hiking Corpse" and disputed it having any connection to Lucille Fletcher's "The Hitchhiker." Today I'm looking at "Strange Passenger" which was first broadcast on August 31, 1952, and it has much more in common with Fletcher's play than the former program! This episode features another lonely driver on the highway at night; he keeps seeing a woman hitchhiker at the side of the road... and his radio doesn't seem to stop playing "Star Dust."

"Strange Passenger" was hosted by Paul McGrath and featured Joan Lorring and Leon Janney. You can listen to this episode at archive.org by clicking here.
