Chet Chetter's Tales from the Morgue

Chet Chetter's Tales from the Morgue is a radio anthology series in the style of horror and science fiction old time radio shows. It aired on NPR during the 1990s.

Chet Chetter's Tales from the Morgue is a series of short stories as told by an old obliging morgue attendant, licensed embalmer and resident story teller named Chet Chetter to a passing stranger of the night played by you the listener. The stories Chet relates to us are all quite fanciful. They deal with topics that would be classified supernatural and science fiction. They border on outrageous but that is how they are meant to be. Roughly half of the shows feature a nice, likeable, rural southern manure hauler by the name of Elmer Korn who always finds himself involved in some inane predicament. The creators of the series themselves admit the show is rather off-beat but, you will find, not without it's own charm which lies within the humorous writing and the recurring characters.
