I thought I'd get in the spirit of Halloween this year by listening to some spooky radio dramas. Although I enjoyed some of them, I bailed on a few. I could only tolerate so many unprompted or barely prompted exposition clumps; too often in such dramas, protagonists and antagonists feel the urge to tell bartenders, cab drivers, or other strangers their life stories.
Also, for a time, "Tiger" was overused as a term of endearment in such dramas.
I listened to fewer radio dramas this Halloween than planned. In the year of a global pandemic, I'm up for escapist fare. I don't, however, want much of it to be eerie.
