Old Radio ShowsDark FantasyThe Thing From The SeaThis episode begins in a press room where they are about to run a story about some missing Hollywood people. Over a week ago the cinema star Philip Haywood set sail for New Zealand in his private yacht, The Dolphin. He took with him his girlfriend the actress Judith Johnson, and her father, who is a movie director. Word has been received from New Zealand that the boat is more than two days overdue and federal search parties have been unable to find it, so the big question is: what has happened to the trio onboard The Dolphin? The listener finds out what has
become of
the trio in the very next scene and finds them stranded on a
calm sea. There is nothing wrong with the engines onboard the yacht,
yet they fail to start. It is as inexplicable as why they stopped in
the first place. Haywood and Johnson are discussing this mystery, when
they hear Judy cry out from below decks. Judy girl has been having a
bad dream about a strange sea creature called Lana who tried to force
her out of her body and take control. Just moments later the boat
begins moving. There is no wind, the engines are dead and there is a
strange man at the helm. "That's no man," Johnson observes. "It's some
kind of a sea monster." And indeed it is; with its long narrow, webbed
fingers, what else could it be? Click to Listen >> The Thing From The Sea
