Not to be confused with the old time radio series, Dark Fantasy, Dark Venture is a psychological thriller show that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The show centered on horror/mystery and aired from 1945 to 1947, with John Lake as the narrator. It was a different kind of thriller where the listeners were able to go into the twisted mind of the killer and learn about his plans and thoughts. Although the methods through which the killers murdered their targets weren’t exactly creative, the listeners still found the show particularly interesting because of the way the killing is plotted and how the killer can sometimes get away with it. Even though John Lake was the official narrator all throughout the series’ run, most of the narrating in each episode is provided by the character of the killer – a very unique idea, especially for the time.
