About Nightfall

Nightfall was a radio drama series produced and aired by CBC Radio from July 1980 to June 1983. While primarily a supernatural/horror series, Nightfall featured some episodes in other genres, such as science fiction, mystery, fantasy, and human drama. According to promotional accounts repeated on fan sites, some of Nightfall's episodes were so terrifying that the CBC registered numerous complaints and some affiliate stations dropped it; however, at least one researcher who investigated the claim found no documented evidence that any station actually dropped the show over listener complaints, suggesting the story may be embellished promotional lore rather than a verified fact. Despite this, the series went on to become one of the most popular shows in CBC Radio history, running 100 episodes that featured a mix of original tales and adaptations of both classic and obscure short stories.
