It’s been more than five years since the last time we checked out an episode of Macabre. This week, we return for a story titled “Final Resting Place!” This installment of the series recorded by members of the Far East Network features a pair of young newlyweds who take up a bizarre challenge at a small-town carnival that could potentially prove fatal! Can hypnotism sustain life for a week? Does this stunt have anything to do with the escaped lunatic in the area? Why might you want to bring a Mountain Dew bottle to South Dakota?

When E. G. Marshall said “macabre,” you often got the faint hint of the “r” at the end of the word. I know because in junior high school I won a spelling bee on this word, and the only reason I got it was because of CBS Radio Mystery Theater!
I really like this episode. The buried alive scene isn’t all that believable, but it’s good vintage horror and it really creeps me out. The scene where the wife is alone at the carnival and finds the husband abandoned in the grave and then is pursued by a shadowy figure in the dark works for me. It’s amateurish but reads like a vintage EC horror comic. I appreciate the explanation of the ending because it has never been all that clear to me.
I think that the personality swap might have been a more common trope back then? So it doesn’t get explained? This show was 11 years before Freaky Friday.
Liked the twist that the sent the mad Doctor to be buried alive, could have been better executed.
Worst honeymoon ever!
