To Share & Share Alike

"The Witch's Tale" is radio's first horror drama series, featuring the legendary Old Nancy, the Witch of Salem, and her black cat Satan. In this spine-chilling episode, "To Share & Share Alike," Old Nancy spins another terrifying tale of the supernatural and macabre.

Hosted by the unforgettable Old Nancy (originally portrayed by stage actress Adelaide Fitz-Allen), this groundbreaking series brought Gothic horror to the airwaves from 1931-1938. Each week, from her haunted realm, Old Nancy would cackle and croon as she introduced tales of ghosts, monsters, curses, and the darkly supernatural - accompanied by the eerie meowing of her familiar, Satan the cat.

Created, written, and directed by Alonzo Deen Cole, "The Witch's Tale" pioneered horror radio drama and remains one of the most atmospheric and chilling programs from the golden age of radio. Old Nancy's distinctive voice and the show's creaking doors, howling winds, and spectral sound effects created an unforgettable listening experience that terrified and delighted Depression-era audiences.
