The Price of Fear (radio serial)

Summary

The Price of Fear is a horror/mystery radio series produced by BBC Radio between 1973 and 1983. The host and star of the show was Vincent Price.

This show stands out in Price's radio career as some of the episodes are based on fictional adventures of Vincent Price himself, in which Price plays himself, while others have him merely introducing the macabre tale of the week. Twenty-two episodes were produced. Credited writers and source authors for the series include William Ingram, Stanley Ellin, Richard Davis, R. Chetwynd-Hayes, A. M. Burrage, Elizabeth Morgan, Rene Basilico, and Roald Dahl.[1] Fifteen of the episodes were rebroadcast by BBC Radio 7 in the spring of 2010. They have periodically been repeated on BBC Radio 4 Extra since then.
