Tonight on The Big Bands it’s “Kay Kyser’s Halloween Haunted House Bash.” In 1940 popular big-band leader Kay Kyser made a lighthearted horror film called You’ll Find Out—the only movie in which horror icons Peter Lorre, Bela Lugosi, and Boris Karloff all appear. We’ll hear music and dialogue from the film, as well as Halloween swing classics from Glenn Miller (“Swingin’ at the Séance”), Claude Thornhill (“Portrait of a Guinea Farm”), Charlie Barnet ("Murder at Peyton Hall"), Cab Calloway ("The Ghost of Smokey Joe") and more. The show airs at 9 p.m. (7 p.m. West Coast time, 10 p.m. East Coast time); you can listen live, or wait until Halloween Monday afternoon, when the program will be posted in The Big Bands archives.
