I'm looking for an OTR adventure / mystery show (or possibly just a single episode) narrated by Vincent Price that a friend of mine told me about which sounds VERY intriguing.

It played on the XM radio OTR channel and involved a group of criminals (possibly even explorers?) who kept double-crossing each other as they were traveling through the jungle. They were attacked by piranhas, somebody drowned in quicksand, and others met similar twisted fates.

It sounded very intense and I'd love to know what the show and/or episode title is.

Any Vincent Price aficionados know which show this is?

THANKS in advance!

Here is the information on that show, the show is called Escape:

Escape - "Bloodbath" starring Vincent Price - June 30, 1950

It is quite a story!

That episode as well as an entire set of Escape is available at Internet Archive, at the link below:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!

I actually had that episode downloaded and didn't even know it! LOL!

Well, after listening to this intense adventure I'm glad to say that it wildly exceeded my already high expectations!

This is certainly a classic episode and it has renewed my interest in Vincent Price who I was already familiar with in movies, but his voice is GREAT for narration as well.

Thanks again for your help!

Speaking of Vincent Price, I picked up a great DVD from the $5 bin at Walmart yesterday. It's one disc with Tales of Terror, The Pit and the Pendulum, and The Raven. I guess there wasn't room on the disc for Twice Told Tales. That's another of my favorite Vincent Price movies from the early '60s.
