Episode Details

"Let Me See Your Face" is a 1920s Delta blues song inspired by ‘Let Me See Your Face’, an episode of Beyond Midnight — the South African horror anthology that aired on Springbok Radio from 1968 to 1970 — originally broadcast on April 14, 1969. Though the episode aired in the late 1960s, the story itself is set in 1920s, making Delta blues the natural musical language for this tale. When a writer takes a room at a quiet Rouen hotel, a mysterious woman glimpsed alone in the moonlit garden at midnight awakens in him a fascination so powerful, no warning — and no fear — can stop him from seeking her face.Static Wax from Weird Darkness Retro Radio brings old radio drama back to life through original songs written in the musical style of the era each story takes place in. Every song is a standalone journey into a different time and a different tale.Some doors are better left unopened. Some faces are better left unseen.
