Classic Radio Rewind #73 - Philo Vance Detective & Murder at Midnight (Old Time Radio)

🕰️ Episode #73 – Safes, Science & Specters

On this hauntingly cerebral installment of Classic Radio Rewind, we crack open two chilling tales where logic battles madness and justice goes toe-to-phantom toe with revenge.

🔍 Philo Vance Detective – "The Peacock Murder Case"
When wealthy David Peacock warns Philo Vance that his seemingly impenetrable safe may be compromised, it’s not long before he’s found murdered in cold blood. With a flair for deduction and a taste for the high-society puzzle, Vance digs deep into a web of betrayal and clues to uncover who cracked the vault—and snuffed out Peacock.

💀 Murder at Midnight – "The Heavy Death"
A brilliant but deranged scientist believes he’s discovered how to alter matter itself—right down to the elemental core of a man’s body. His tool? A deadly transmutation ray. But when his victim returns from beyond the grave with a skull crushed under unnatural weight, the experiment turns on the experimenter in ghostly fashion.

From airtight safes to atomic sorcery, Episode 73 offers a double feature that’s equal parts sinister and surreal. Tune in and let the echoes of classic radio mystery sweep you away once more.
