RIR | Escape

Re-Imagined Radio samples from two episodes of Escape, "Present Tense" and "Three Skeleton Key," both starring Price, to celebrate radio's greatest series of high adventure storytelling and an unforgettable voice actor.

Frequently cited as the finest radio adventure series ever, Escape is significant for providing listeners a variety of literary experiences drawn from adventure classics and contemporary original scripts.

Vincent Price (1911–1993) is legendary for his stage, television, motion picture, and radio appearances. In radio, he is noted for voicing Simon Templar in The Saint, 1947 to 1951, and the two episodes of Escape featured here, "Present Tense" and "Three Skeleton Key." It's also interesting to note that Price provided a chilling voice over for singer/song writer Michael Jackson's 1993 "Thriller."
