Normal & Paranormal Beware!
The Spectral Silhouette Radio Show
The Spectral Silhouette Radio Show
“Normal and paranormal beware, The Spectral Silhouette will always be there!” Inspired by old time radio programs such as The Shadow, The Whistler, and Green Hornet, this pulpy audio drama is an original work with music performed by The Black and Blue Hearts. Sponsored by Skeleton Key Brewery, The Spectral Silhouette centers around mystery, murder, ghosts, werewolves, and great beer. Detective Monty Eldritch was shot during an armed robbery. Legally dead for five minutes, he shakes the cold grip of the grim reaper with the help of the paramedics. When he regains consciousness, he finds that he can hear the voice of a deceased mobster named Sil. The two agree to work together to find Sil’s murderers in exchange for assistance with Monty’s cases. Aided by his old friend Penny Aster, and otherworldly insights from his ghostly ally, Monty becomes The Spectral Silhouette. Live readings of the show are performed on a bimonthly basis at Skeleton Key Brewery in Woodridge, IL. You can catch performances the third Thursday of the month (Dec, Feb, Apr, etc). The show features a full voice cast and jazz band. Shows sell out fast, so make a reservation if you're in the Chicagoland area!

S2 Episode 7: Far From The Tree Part 2

At the end of our last installment, it was revealed that the sinister Parker Wilhelm the third was behind the kidnapping of Penny and her friends. Following this revelation, Parker started a machine that caused the walls of the room to close in on the detectives, medium and Jeff. Monty and Sil met with Parker’s mother, Greta Wilhelm, hoping she would give up her son. The poltergeist and detective decided to wait outside the hotel to tail her. Can Monty and Sil find their friends before the “pulverizing room” does what it was designed for? Switchblades, laughs, paprika, eighteenth century ingenues and more in part two of The Spectral Silhouette: Far from the Tree!

“Here we are. Isn’t it wonderful? Four walls of reinforced concrete with parts I extracted from an old trash compactor. Perfect for absolute destruction.“
