Episode 641 - Black Magic? Whoa, Man! (Nick Carter, Blackstone, Michael Shayne, Bold Venture, & Richard Diamond)

Down These Mean Streets (Old Time Radio Detectives)

With Halloween right around the corner, we delve into the spooky side of sleuthing with mysteries involving voodoo, curses, and other hexes. Nick Carter's new client believes her physician practices black magic instead of medicine in "The Drums of Death, or Nick Carter and the White Witch Doctor" (originally aired on Mutual on March 25, 1944), and real-life master magician Blackstone explains how he faced down the living dead in "The Riddle of the Seven Zombies" (originally aired on Mutual on July 17, 1949). Michael Shayne falls into a case of supernatural revenge and a man who supposedly cannot be killed in the syndicated mystery "The Man Who Lived Forever," and Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall battle a voodoo murderess who kills with poisoned darts in a syndicated episode of Bold Venture. Finally, Dick Powell heads to Haiti to investigate an eerie death threat in "Little Chiva" from Richard Diamond, Private Detective (originally aired on ABC on March 23, 1951).
