I wonder if this radio horror story may have been an influence on the movie screenplay.

I’d give them a try, they do several different genres including a horror and a “strange tales” which is sometimes more suspenseful but not true horror.

Very interesting episode!

When I was in junior high school, back in the 1970s, I surprised a teacher by spelling it correctly in a spelling bee. I didn’t tell him that I only knew it because of the weird way E. G. Marshall pronounced it on CBS Radio Mystery Theater!

I hadn’t even considered how freely the medical information flows here. I do feel it is my medical professional’s duty to tell if I’m dead or not, even if I don’t identify myself.

And John calls the hospital to ask if he’s there, and the hospital is totally okay with looking up that up.

That has to be the weirdest *mundane* part of this episode. Isn’t it great that we have medical privacy laws now?
