Land of the Living Dead

Description

Two American scientists, Terry and Kent, travel deep into Brazil's Mato Grosso jungle to find a lost tribe of white-skinned Indians and their missing colleague Professor Schneider. They discover a secret landing strip that leads them to an odd place where people never die. The men get stuck in this weird town and end up living there forever too.

In the dense jungles of Brazil's Mato Grosso, two American anthropologists, Terry and Kent, search for a hidden tribe of albino Indians and the vanished Professor Schneider. Their quest leads them to a mysterious airstrip and a world where the missing live forever. The men are soon trapped in this strange community, becoming eternal residents themselves.

Kent Floyd and Terry Bridgewater fly their plane to Cuyaba to pick up supplies for their trip into the Brazilian jungle, where a tribe of white-skinned Indians is said to live. They are told that these Indians possess a powerful magic that causes a person to see the most unusual things. To be sure, the anthropologists first see a modern airport in the middle of the jungle. After they land they see an arrivals gate, but, to their horror, no departure gate.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
