OTR Halloween Day 12: Hollywood Star Playhouse

I've blogged about Hollywood Star Playhouse before in my Radio Recap series. As I noted there, it was a lot like Suspense but had a few standout episodes of its own. The plots were often very much like Suspense - a tense situation told from the first person perspective, said person played by a Hollywood star.

Such a program is "Haunt Me Not" from August 17, 1952. Deborah Kerr stars as a woman travelling cross-country whose vehicle is invaded by a man who needs a lift and demands she assist him. A contest of wills breaks out as she struggles to rid herself of the unwelcome passenger. You can hear this episode at the Internet Archive!
