If you are a fan of Twilight Zone fiction, you are going to enjoy Imagination X. There are eight dramatized stories included in this 1-hour album, each performed by a full cast:
“The House in the Woods” – A woman is haunted by visions in her dreams of a house in the woods.
“Box Love” – A hilarious look at love between two artificially intelligent kitchen appliances.
“Up on the Rooftops” – Something’s moving up on the roof – is it Santa Claus?
“Background” – A researcher goes to a haunted house and tape records notes while he looks around. But the tapes contain more than his voice…
“Mandible Hill” – Do you know what the person sitting next to you is capable of?
“The Prisoner” – A tortured soul cries out his torment – or does he?
“Distance” – A space traveler deals with his computer which is also trying to deal with him.
Find this audio at Bud C. Productions – you’ll be glad you did. The website leaves quite a bit to be desired, but there is some interesting information there. If you click on an episode, you can find some of Jeffrey Adams’ notes on the production along with cast info. A piece of data I found interesting: The computer voice was played by the ‘Speakable Items’ function of my iMac computer, the existence of which was the inspiration for the episode, and, to some extent, for the entire series.
I enjoyed the time I spent with these stories, and am looking forward to more from Jeffrey Adams and crew.
