Murder Castle (LOUT)

A man lures young women into his house, constructed according to his own nefarious designs.

Once again we have a individual trapped in a repeating loop of madness. It is becoming increasingly clear to me that Oboler is a one-note writer. Sometimes he hits his note more quickly and with more clarity than others, but it's always the same note.

Also, there is no real surprise factor to this story. It broadcasts the direction in which it is traveling at every step. I suppose it was more shocking in 1938. Still ... not a bad listen at all.
