Nightfall - "Welcome To Homerville" (07-18-80)

Welcome To Homerville (Aired July 18, 1980)


NIGHTFALL was a horror series heard over the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation first from July 4, 1980 to May 22, 1981 and then from November 20, 1981 to June 24, 1983.  Thirty shows were selected from the first season to be rebroadcast on NPR from October 2, 1981 to June 25, 1982. Since it is a fairly modern series, most shows are available in stereo.  Because it's a modern series, it's not widely available (copyright issues). This show may be the most horrifying series ever done.  It was so terrifying, that many stations refused to play it or had to cancel the broadcasts due to listener complaints.  This is a well done series and well worth searching for sources.
