@@otrarchive No problem! I LOVE old radio programmes, especially Gunsmoke. I grew up on the television show, which started two years before I was born & finished the year I graduated high school. My mother told me that my third word was "Gumfmoke" - - - I obviously had yet to master my n's & s's! My first two words were (conventionally) dada & mama, but I can't remember the order: still, this tells you how highly the show was regarded in our household. I'm fairly new to the radio version of the drama, but I love it just as much, & feel that the casting is perfect. William Conrad had one of the best male voices in the acting profession of the 20th century! I found this on the Internet, I believe in Wikipedia. 🔫
@@h.calvert3165 I agree with your comment about William Conrad. I really enjoy radio gunsmoke...every episode I've found. Do you know who was the writer and director of The Cabin?
@@Ella7194 Norman Macdonnell was the director & producer of Gunsmoke on the radio. John Mestin was the writer. The two together created the show to be a more realistic depiction of the Old West than the ones offered by the child-oriented shows such as Hopalong Cassidy, The Lone Ranger, & Roy Rogers. This episode is particularly brutal. Awfully good work done by all, behind & before the microphone, both on radio & on television! 🎙️
That is awesome, thanks for that wonderful information, i love this theater of the mind, thank you for all the effort putting these gems up for all of us to enjoy, great job.
Her name was Belle. It means pretty or beautiful in some languages. This was only episode 36. I don't know all episodes. Did Matt ever get to Hayes City? 🙂
These are some of the best radio shows ever. Seemed like Mr Conrad really enjoyed this part and put his all into it.
“Suspense” meets “Gunsmoke.” Top notch episode!!
A favorite for sure!

Thanks Bruce, I am glad you enjoy them!
My favorite episode of all time
One of the best, try Kite's Reward, that's my favorite.
😳Dadgum!!! Had me on the edge of my seat. Excellent
This seems to represent a brief genre change into horror.
This radio episode was made into a television episode of the same name. It is one of my favorite gunsmoke episodes.
Payten Anderson weren't all of the radio scripts used for the first 5 years of the tv version? Like at least 90%
@@Usrname.24 I'd say you're pretty close.
They were all well written episodes, no excess, made to order for a half hour program.
I imagined it like a 1950's toned down Texas Chainsaw Massacre cabin in the blizzard snow. ;-)
This is really good! The way this was written and read reminds me of Raymond Chandler or Mickey Spillane. This is a great detective radio noir❤
This episode definitely inspired The Hateful Eight by Tarantino.
Maybe.

This is a good story, just terrifying. People! They try hard to ruin humanity.
