About Appointment with Fear
Appointment with Fear is a horror drama series originally broadcast on BBC Radio in the 1940s and 1950s, and revived on a number of occasions since. The format comprised a dramatised horror story of approximately half an hour in length, introduced by a character known as "The Man in Black". The plays themselves were a mixture of classic horror stories by writers such as Edgar Allan Poe, M. R. James and W. W. Jacobs, and commissioned stories by new or established writers. Many of the stories in the early series were written or adapted by John Dickson Carr, a number of which had already been produced for the American CBS series Suspense; and, in addition to its primary author, Appointment With Fear also shared the theme music and the narrator character of The Man in Black with Suspense.
