Welcome to Tales to Terrify. Good evening, children of the night. Come on into the cabin and find yourself a place to sit.

We've got three stories for you this evening, so have a plate of food, something to drink,

and get settled. A few weeks ago, in episode 162, I had mentioned that I really liked the movie

The Mist, and I still credited it with my favorite horror ending of any movie I've seen to date,

but I also hadn't actually read Stephen King's short story, one to which it was based.

Listener Angie Bellinger had encouraged me to get around to doing so, and I borrowed a copy from the public library, gave it a read, and I'm glad that I did.

The story was translated quite faithfully to the silver screen.

The print story gives more nuance to the characters, and the protagonist is a bit more flawed

as well.

However, the ending is different, and much more painful in the movie.

I'd recommend you check it out.

This evening, we have three stories for you.

They're a bit shorter than our usual fare, so we won't keep you overly long, but I'd like to get this show on the road.

Our first story is The Missing Ingredient by T. Fox Dunham. T. Fox Dunham resides outside

of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, an author and a historian. He's published in nearly 200 international

journals and anthologies. His first novel, The Street Martyr, will be published by Out of the Gutter Books, followed up by searching for Andy Kaufman from PMMP.

He's a cancer survivor.

His friends call him Fox, being his totem animal.
