Wax-museum employee Martin moves the figures of notorious murderers into his home.

Martin Senescu is waxworks curator with special responsibility for some of the world's most infamous serial killers.

When he discovers the museum's set to be shutdown, he pleads with his boss to let him take the figures of Jack the Ripper, Albert Hicks, Henri Landru and Burke and Hare home with him. Much to the dismay of his wife, Martin becomes obsessed with the figures that live in their basement...

Written by Jerry Sohl and Charles Beaumont and adapted for radio by Dennis Etchison and JoBe Cerny.

Starring JoBe Cerny, Jim McCance, Nancy Baird and Richard Henzel - with Stacy Keach as the narrator.

Originally a cult sci-fi and horror TV series created by Rod Serling and broadcast in the USA on CBS from 1959 to 1964, The Twilight Zone was first adapted by American producer Carl Amari in 2002 as a 40-minute radio drama series. 

Rod Serling had managed to electrify the new medium of television - so armed with a licence from CBS and the Serling estate, Amari's slick adaptions are based on the original TV scripts. 

Actor Stacy Keach (best known here as TV detective Mike Hammer) takes Serling's original role as narrator - with a full cast, music and sound effects. 

Produced and directed by Carl Amari for Falcon Picture Group.
