Discover quirky details of its most famous presentation, Sorry, Wrong Number, that became a movie, and an opera... twice! Read about Suspense scripts adapted into movies, authors who penned superb radio scripts... and then disappeared... how a Suspense episode inspired a serial killer, and much, much more.
