Not many people today remember The Golden Age Of Radio horror. But those that do will never forget Quiet, Please.Airing from 1947 to 1949, Quiet, Please was written and directed by Wyllis Cooper (who had previously worked on another radio horror program, Lights Out — best known today from a Bill Cosby routine where he reminisces about the infamous "Chicken Heart" episode — and written the screenplay for Son of Frankenstein), and starred Ernest Chappell. Nearly every episode took the form of Chappell's character narrating in the first person, recounting a story of something strange and horrifying that had happened to him (sometimes leading up to his demise). These tales would range from ghost stories to things that were... weirder.Though it ran for only 106 episodes, the show left a lasting impact. Rod Serling credited it as an influence on The Twilight Zone, with both series sharing a mixture of science fiction and horror episodes and often containing relevant social messages. The 60th episode of the show, "The Thing on the Fourble Board", is often credited (and rightly so) as the scariest radio program ever broadcast.The series is available for free here. Not to be confused with the Tom and Jerry cartoon short Quiet Please! (1945). | |

Dead All Along | |
| Quiet, Please (1947) (Radio) / int_1b590025 | comment |
Dead All Along: It is obvious pretty early in "Baker's Dozen" that the narrator is a ghost at his own murder trial — he's the 13th person in the jury box, hence the title; no one can see him or hear him — but he takes a good long time to figure it out. "The Little Morning" has Francis telling the man who gave him a ride that he's going to see his lost love Rosita, who died in a fire last year. The man driving the car is puzzled by this, until he realizes why Francis's name sounds familiar: he read a newspaper story about Francis dying in a fire. | |

Recursive Reality | |
| Quiet, Please (1947) (Radio) / int_352151a3 | comment |
Recursive Reality: "The Man Who Stole A Planet" has an archaeologist finding an old Mayan underground chamber with an inscription saying "The place where the world lives." Inside he finds a little silver globe the size of a baseball, which is an accurate rendition of the Earth. Only it turns out that it is the Earth. When the man flicks a little bit of water on the northern Africa part of the globe, the radio broadcasts a report of cataclysmic rainfall and flooding in the Sahara Desert. When the man pokes Minnesota on the globe with a needle, the radio broadcasts a second report of a massive earthquake in Minnesota. This raises the question of whether there's a very very very tiny man somewhere on the baseball-sized globe, possibly with a little silver globe of his own. | |

Eerily Out-of-Place Object | |
| Quiet, Please (1947) (Radio) / int_3699bf0a | comment |
Eerily Out-of-Place Object: "The Thing on the Fourble Board". The oil drillers find a gold ring in the rock their oil drill has pulled out of the ground. The problem? That rock was a mile deep and had been a mile deep for a million years. In "Whence Came You?", the narrator sees a beautiful woman in Cairo — then sees her portrait on a slab from a 2000-year-old tomb. Then he sees his own name, written by her, among the inscriptions in the tomb. "Northern Lights" is about a teleportation and time travel experiment in which a lighter was transported to somewhere freezing cold. And it came back with a woolly bear caterpillar. | |

No Fourth Wall | |
| Quiet, Please (1947) (Radio) / int_3b4f620a | comment |
No Fourth Wall: Some of the less serious episodes played merry hell with the fourth wall, sometimes implying that the characters knew they were fictional or could see the radio audience, or having Chappell's character speak directly to a specific person who his character knew would be listening to Quiet, Please. In at least two episodes, the characters can hear the music score and wind up asking the performer (addressing him by name, in fact) to play louder or quieter. In "The Other Side of the Stars" Chappell plays — the narrator of Quiet, Please, who is broadcasting the show when a guy named Steve enters the studio and starts asking him questions about what happened to Steve's sister Dorothy. | |

Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: In "Dark Gray Magic", the Devil, aka "Boj", tries to get the narrator to cast a spell to make his buddy jump off the Empire State Building. But the narrator gets the spell backwards and his buddy jumps up to the top of the Empire State Building instead. The buddy gets a Hollywood movie deal, and Boj is very mad at the narrator for making him do something good. | |

Non-Actor Vehicle: Until Quiet, Please went on the air, Ernest Chappell was better known as an announcer and newsreader. Most episodes of the series have him carrying most of the running time as a narrator or raconteur. After Quiet, Please Chappell went back to being a radio announcer and never acted again. | |

| Quiet, Please (1947) (Radio) / int_4e7c4536 | comment |
Wham Line: In "The Hat, the Bed, and John J. Catherine", the eponymous John J. Catherine finds a hat on his bed and takes it as an omen of death. He quits his job on the spot, but later goes to the home of his former boss Miss Pierce, in a state of high agitation. He starts freaking out even more when he says he saw her hat on her bed. Miss Pierce thinks he's drunk and tells him to sleep it off in her house. She then leaves—or seems to. John naps for a while and then finds some liquor in her house and drinks it. He looks over and notes that her hat is still on her bed. Then he mutters, The ending of "The Thing on the Fourble Board" reveals that the narrator has the person he's talking to (implicitly, the audience) at gunpoint and is forcing them to stay where they are, then refers back to his hard-of-hearing wife from the beginning, and would just love to introduce her to his guest. And then we hear the characteristic wail-like sounds of the Eldritch Abomination that came up out of the mile-deep rock. And she's hungry... | |

Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: The narrator of "Is This Murder?" says that man was not meant to meddle around with human life by putting brains in robots, and that doing so would leave only the "evil" part of one's personality behind. The ending reveals that in fact the man is a brain in a robot body, and he has in fact lost his morality, and he is about to murder the listener as well as the two people who left him in that state. | |

Through the Eyes of Madness | |
| Quiet, Please (1947) (Radio) / int_5d5cc3fd | comment |
Through the Eyes of Madness: It's implied in "Three" that the narrator might just be going insane. In one scene the narrator keeps trying to call different people, only to keep getting the funeral parlor at number 3333. However, the next scene has the funeral parlor director calling the telephone company and complaining about the weird guy that keeps calling his number. It's implied with the "Last 3 Days" sign on the theater marquee and the days being X'd off of his calendar that the man will die at 3 am on the third day — but instead, the man kills The Bartender after finding out his last name is "Drei". The Wham Line at the end of "The Hat, the Bed, and John J. Catherine" implies this. John gets drunk after Miss Pierce leaves her apartment. John, who has been getting more and more freaked out over finding a hat on his bed (an omen of death), then notices that Miss Pierce left her hat on her bed. Then he says "Why Miss Pierce, you left your head inside your hat." So...did he decapitate her? Why? Because he worked for her as a stagehand at the theater but she wouldn't give him an acting part? | |

Christmas Episode: "Berlin, 1945". A squad of soldiers celebrating the holiday in the ruined city get a special visitor. Two weeks before that episode came "Rede Me This Riddle" (12-12-1948), in which a ragged wanderer bearing burden meets a second wanderer with a bag of gold, and eventually they run into a third man with a burden of his own. It turns out that they're the Magi of the Christmas story. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| Quiet, Please (1947) (Radio) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: The title character of "The Thing on the Fourble Board". What is it? It's invisible, but very heavy, with a human woman's face, with a body that is... not human, to the extent that it reminds the narrator of spiders. How did it get there? What was it doing underground for a million years? The life form from Alpha Centauri that the narrator encounters in "The Other Side of the Stars". It's shaped like a ball, warm to the touch. It can communicate via musical screeches that are translated to English by a machine. And it somehow absorbed the narrator's friend Dorothy, who became part of a Hive Mind and speaks to the narrator. | |

The Three Wise Men | |
| Quiet, Please (1947) (Radio) / int_91db89a0 | comment |
Two weeks before that episode came "Rede Me This Riddle" (12-12-1948), in which a ragged wanderer bearing burden meets a second wanderer with a bag of gold, and eventually they run into a third man with a burden of his own. It turns out that they're the Magi of the Christmas story. | |

Continuity Nod: "Nothing Behind the Door" is about a mysterious shack next to the Mount Wilson Observatory that, somehow, contains an empty void like the void of deep space. In later episode "The Other Side of the Stars", about a mysterious well that turns out to be the home of a being from Alpha Centauri, the narrator mentions that prior episode. In "Nothing Behind the Door" the guy looking through the radio telescope at one point observes a "black cloud" in space; in "The Other Side of the Stars" the "black cloud" is described as the beings from Alpha Centauri coming to assimilate humanity. | |

The Bartender | |
| Quiet, Please (1947) (Radio) / int_be5e459b | comment |
It's implied in "Three" that the narrator might just be going insane. In one scene the narrator keeps trying to call different people, only to keep getting the funeral parlor at number 3333. However, the next scene has the funeral parlor director calling the telephone company and complaining about the weird guy that keeps calling his number. It's implied with the "Last 3 Days" sign on the theater marquee and the days being X'd off of his calendar that the man will die at 3 am on the third day — but instead, the man kills The Bartender after finding out his last name is "Drei". | |

And then we hear the characteristic wail-like sounds of the Eldritch Abomination that came up out of the mile-deep rock. And she's hungry... | |

Exact Words: When the guys in "Nothing Behind the Door" ask the creepy astronomer what is inside the mysterious building behind the fence, he tells them "nothing". What's really inside the mysterious building? Nothing — as in, the empty void of space. | |

All Just a Dream | |
| Quiet, Please (1947) (Radio) / int_ea85d6ea | comment |
All Just a Dream: Most of "Baker's Dozen" turns out to be a dream in which the narrator dreams of his wife's trial for his murder. A prophetic dream. | |
