This week’s visit to our Listener Library features an episode of Hall of Fantasy, “The Masks of Ashor,” recommended to us by Clarence! Thanks, Clarence! A couple receives two gold masks as a gift from a relative traveling through Istanbul. They soon learn the strange story of the masks and why they seem to stare at their new owners! Why was the merchant who owned them before so eager to sell them? What face were these treasures meant to hide? Was there a time when people just knocked on doors, looking for stamps? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!
Thanks, guys! I feel like I’ve been initiated into the gang!
Admittedly, this show sounds more cheesy than chilling to 48 year old Clarence. Good points on the sameness of many Hall of Fantasy stories. Even at 12 years old, I thought “Masks” was very similar to the “Jewels of Kali” episode I had heard a few weeks earlier.
I always enjoy Hall of Fantasy even when it’s a little corny and overblown. Really enjoyed this one but it wouldn’t be fair to call it a classic.
I wish there was a rule that T, J, and E had to drink every time someone said “… the masks of Ashor”
