Two radio voice actors are getting married. Larry has fits of fear. A shrink needs 36 hours to scare him to death and cure him - during a family reunion at a scary family castle.

Larry Abbot, speaker in the radio horror shows of Manhattan Mystery Theater, wants to marry. For the marriage, he takes his fiancée home to the castle where he grew up, among his eccentric relatives. His uncle decides that he needs to be cured from a neurotic speech defect and exaggerated bursts of fear. He gives him shock therapy with palace ghosts.—Tom Zoerner <[email protected]>

At the peak of their careers, the brilliant radio actors and Manhattan Mystery Theatre's superstars, Larry Abbot and Vickie Pearle, have finally decided to tie the knot. However, with their marriage just around the corner, inexplicably, Larry is starting to experience noticeable speech impairments and debilitating, on-air panic attacks. Now, under those strange circumstances, what better way to cure poor Larry's problem than by spending a long, lavish weekend on dear Aunt Kate's magnificent castle along with the entire family? The idea is to help overworked Larry relax; however, after an unaccountable disappearance and the blood-curdling sighting of something wicked, this brief vacation could be a cure worse than the disease. Can Larry survive the night and the haunted honeymoon?—Nick Riganas
