          There are many scary radio plays about evil kids -- Suspense's 1955 "Zero Hour," Beyond Midnight's "No-name Baby" in South Africa in 1969 -- but Nightfall's 1982 play "Gerald" really gets me, and I love the period music:https://youtu.be/z67lHPYdY7k

          Might as well finish the series a day early, why not. I suppose I must know at least 8 different radio versions of Dickens's "The Signalman" the aired over the decades. This one from a 1946 summer revival of Lights Out is, I think, the best:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcKBHe2mJJ8 …
