The Weird Circle
_____________________________________ THE WEIRD CIRCLE was a syndicated series that was heard on Mutual stations November, 1943 through October, 1947 and very briefly in September/October of 1947 on ABC. THE WEIRD CIRCLE presented 30 minute tales of horror, frequently inspired by classic horror or ghost stories, frequently done by French authors. It opened with the sound of the surf and the chant- like opening, "In this cave by the restless sea, we are met to call from out of past, stories strange and weird. Bell keeper, toll the bell, so that all may know that we are gathered again in the Weird Circle". 43/08/29 1 Fall of the House of Usher - Edgar Allen Poe 43/09/05 2 The House & the Brain - Edward Bulwer-Lytton 43/09/12 3 The Vendetta 43/09/19 4 Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym - Edgar Allen Poe 43/09/26 5 Declared Insane 43/10/03 6 A Terribly Strange Bed - Wilkie Collins 43/10/10 7 What Was It - Fitz-James O'Brien 43/10/17 8 Knight's Bridge Mystery - Charles Reade 43/10/24 9 The Horla - Guy de Maupassant 43/10/31 10 William Wilson - Edgar Allen Poe 43/11/07 11 Passion in the Desert - Honore de Balzac 43/11/14 12 Matao Falcon - Prosper Merimee 43/11/21 13 The Man Without a Country - Edward Everett Hale 43/11/28 14 Dr Manette's Manuscript - Charles Dickens 43/12/05 15 The Great Plague - Thomas Hood 43/12/12 16 Expectations of an Heir 43/12/19 17 The Hand - Guy de Maupassant 43/12/26 18 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 44/01/02 19 Murders in the Rue Morgue - Edgar Allen Poe 44/01/09 20 The Lifted Veil - George Eliot 44/01/17 21 The 415 Express - Amelia B.
