Escape Blood Bath

” Bloodbath  is quite unbelievably exciting.  The action is more or less non stop”    –  Alan O’Brien

 

As detailed on Christine Miller’s excellent website devoted to the series,  the thrilling story “Bloodbath” begins with a business partnership which unravels into a deadly competition.  Five Americans travel deep into the Andes mountains of Peru to search for a vein of uranium ore.   As they had hoped, they do find a fortune in uranium. Their plan was to divide the claim five ways, but greed swiftly takes over. Soon they are in a race to return to civilization and claim the land, but the tricky part is getting out of the jungle alive.
Mosquitos, pium flies, bloodsucking carapato ticks, snakes, vampire bats, and piranhas are some of the dangers they have to survive. Vincent Price narrates most of the story and listening to him describe the critters of the Peruvian jungle is entertainment in itself.
“Bloodbath” was written by Academy award winning screenwriter James Poe and starred Vincent Price. The combination of the two was an effective one.   This episode was produced and directed by William N. Robson and aired on June 30, 1950.  This thrilling adventure is regarded as one the best by many radio listeners and we are delighted to have the opportunity to bring this story to the REPS Sound stage, with a full cast, on Friday morning April 15th.
