Horror stars, action heroes, matinee idols, leading ladies - Suspense offered them all a showcase that expanded and emphasized their distinctive talents. Peter Lorre and Edward G. Robinson were particular favorites and appear here in tortured, desperate roles and never failing to wring every bit of tension from the scripts in their hands. Popular comedians - like Bob Hope and Milton Berle - were also regularly featured. Cast hard against type, the audience was forced to view them in an entirely different light and were left gasping in their wake.

Story
Theater Five was ABC's attempt to revive radio drama during the early 1960s. The series name was derived from its time slot, 5:00 p.m. Running Monday through Friday, it was an anthology of short stories, each about 20 minutes long. News programs and commercials filled out the full 30 minutes. There was a good bit of science fiction, and some of the plots seem to have been taken from the daily newspaper. Fred Foy of The Lone Ranger fame was an ABC staff announcer in the early '60s who, among other duties, did Theater Five.

Story
The Lux Radio Theatre was a one-of-a-kind OTR show. Imagine the greatest Hollywood stars doing one-hour versions of their biggest motion pictures, complete with full orchestra, live onstage with a studio audience. The one and only Cecil B. DeMille was your host ('36-'45) for a lavish production of what was to become a veritable film checklist of many of Hollywood's best films from the mid-'30s right through the mid-'50s. The first Lux film adaptation was The Legionnaire and the Lady with Marlene Dietrich and Clark Gable, based on the film Morocco.
By: John Anthony
Publisher's summary
Suspense went through several major phases, characterized by different hosts, sponsors, and director/producers. Formula plot devices were followed for all but a handful of episodes: The protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a threatening or bizarre situation; solutions were "withheld until the last possible second"; and evildoers were usually punished in the end.
This is the most comprehensive collection of the great series. This show really keeps the listener in suspense! Enjoy!

Story
In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

Story
It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Quality Varies From Episode To Episode
I LOVE the CBS Radio series SUSPENSE. The stories are intriguing and usually have an unexpected twist at the end.
I started out with the other SUSPENSE volumes the ones with the stars featured prominently in the ad, entered usually around a theme like “sins,” and lasting between 6-9 hours. Those were fine.
I chose this one SUSPENSE VOL 5 because I was hoping these would be from the later broadcasts with better quality. I listened to a sample of the earlier VOLUMES and it wasn’t very good. I also wanted to hear more from this program so the sample I heard for Vol 5 sounded okay, but alas it wasn’t carried throughout.
On VOLUME 5 the audio quality on some episodes are TERRIBLE! The sound is either so muffled you can’t understand what is being said or it sounds like you’ve landed right in between two radio stations so you’re hearing two different things. It’s frustrating!
There are many that are of fine audio quality but the other ones will work nerves. And quality isn’t determined by air dates either because I heard one from the 40s that sounded fine, while one from the 60s (you can tell by the slang like “groovy” and “dig it”) were muffled and hard to hear.
I’ll probably ask for a refund for this one and I’ll stay away from the earlier volumes.
It’s really a shame because if this is the one you start listening to you’ll think that the other volumes of SUSPENSE are the same way and you’d be missing these brilliant radio plays.
My advice is to get the ones with the stars featured on the ad since they’ve either been restored properly, we’re given the care required for storage and maintenance to not degrade, or were kept pristine because of an actor/actress gaining fame on TV/Film after doing these plays.
