Nesbit’s “Man Size in Marble.” A young couple moves into a small village and encounters two ominous statues in the local church. Is there any truth to the grim legend surrounding these sculptures? Do two people really need a maid so badly? What does it sound like when Minnesotans disagree with each other? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think:

While this is not the best episode you guys have featured, I did enjoy it. While Eric is correct that it would have been neat to “see” the statues come alive, I am a fan of the unseen horror as well. That may be part of why I enjoy audio drama more than TV – the images in my imagination are often better than that of a production crew. As an example in film, I prefer the original, barely seen, Wampa in “The Empire Strikes Back” as opposed to the fully realized creature in the Special Edition version. He was… Read more »
This was truly a triumph in advertising. The granite furniture company sponsoring a story about haunted marble pirate statues? Genius! Hopefully their chairs don’t come to life, however, or their customers will have to soak their pants in just so much Biotex…
If the price of a beautiful and durable home is that once a year it comes to life and tries to kill me, so be it. All hail Biotex! Gloria Biotexam!
Okay, you touched on it – but dear Lord – this aspect of this episode was so unintentionally funny. DUDE: We were humble of means, but we were happy. DUDE: We lived in the most humble of cottages, but we had each other. DUDE: It was the kind of life that only the very rich or the very humble could appreciate. MAID: Oi needs a week off guv’nor. DUDE: THE HORROR! THE HORROR! WHAT ARE WE TO DO! LADY: I could do the chores for the week? DUDE: NO! NO! THAT CAN’T WORK! THAT WOULD BE ABOUT THREE HOURS A… Read more »
I love this so much. Thank you, Doug!
This was one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. Wooden AND purple is hard to do.
I too was with this one for the first half, but what eventually put me off weren’t the dodgy accents or lack of Foley, rather that—like dropping dead of COVID when vaccines are widely available—it was an ENTIRELY AVOIDABLE TRAGEDY. Frau Blücher (whinneeee!) told him exactly what would happen, the very hour it would occur, and the stupidly simple thing he could do to stop it. Even if he didn’t believe the folklore, maybe he could’ve taken his wife for an romantic overnight stay at the local inn. You know, just to be damned sure. At the very, very least,… Read more »
