The BBC and Darkfield present an unnerving trilogy of immersive binaural experiences. Meet yourself in the DEADHOUSE.

DEADHOUSE is a trilogy of immersive audio horror shorts, all for a single listener, lying down, with their eyes closed. Headphones are essential. The listener becomes the subject while the binaural sound surrounds and creeps towards them. Their familiar environments slip away, to be replaced by other, less comfortable, worlds that feel unnervingly real. Each episode is for the cold and the callous amongst us, and takes a look at the separation of mind and body.

"Lux Radio Theatre" was an iconic American radio show that ran from 1934 to 1955, primarily on CBS Radio. It was renowned for its weekly, hour-long adaptations of popular films and Broadway plays, often featuring Hollywood's biggest stars reprising their original roles.

Here's a closer look at its significance:

• Format: The show would adapt current or upcoming movie attractions and Broadway plays for radio, allowing listeners to experience condensed versions of popular stories.
• Star Power: What made "Lux Radio Theatre" truly special was its ability to attract A-list Hollywood talent. Stars like Cary Grant, Claudette Colbert, Bing Crosby, Katherine Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, Judy Garland, and many more, appeared on the show, often earning significant fees (up to $5,000 per appearance).
• Hosts: Initially, the show adapted Broadway plays from New York. In 1936, it moved to Hollywood to leverage movie talent and popular films, and renowned director Cecil B. DeMille took over as host, a role he held until 1945. Subsequent hosts included William Keighley and Irving Cummings.
• Cultural Impact: "Lux Radio Theatre" was a massive success, becoming one of the most popular dramatic programs on radio for over two decades. It played a significant role in the Golden Age of American radio, bringing the magic of Hollywood directly into people's homes.
• Notable Episodes: The show adapted a vast array of films and plays. Some famous adaptations include:
• The Thin Man (with William Powell and Myrna Loy)
• It Happened One Night (with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert)
• Casablanca (with Alan Ladd, Hedy Lamarr, and John Lodar)
• The Wizard of Oz (with Judy Garland)
• Rebecca (with Laurence Olivier and Vivian Leigh)
• Miracle on 34th Street (with Maureen O'Hara and Edmund Gwynn)
• The Day the Earth Stood Still
• Wuthering Heights
• Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (with Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur)
• Suspicion
• The Maltese Falcon
• It's a Wonderful Life

"Lux Radio Theatre" was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1989, a testament to its enduring legacy in broadcasting history. Its success even led to a television counterpart, "Lux Video Theatre," which aired from 1950 to 1957.
