Radio review – Suspense – “The House in Cypress Canyon” (1946) ****

Robert Taylor is famous for being a pretty boy movie star, i.e. one who rose to fame on his looks – but he also had an excellent speaking voice (something I admit I’d never appreciated before), well demonstrated here. 

It’s a genuinely creepy tale somewhat along the lines of The Amityville Horror about a couple who move into a house where there's creepy stuff going on, including blood seeping out from under a closet and a wife who may be a werewolf. Howard Duff is among the support cast. The script is here.
