## Resource

CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents “Resident Killer,” episode 1386, originally broadcast October 25, 1982. Written by Sam Dann and directed by Himan Brown, this far-future drama stars Mason Adams, Russell Horton, and Carol Teitel. Five centuries from now, Earth has engineered violence—and even violent thought—out of human life. But when an alien threat looms, authorities consider restoring the suppressed brutal instincts of one psychologically reprogrammed man to defend their peaceful world. CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
