The Death Wisher

Description

A guy invites his buddy's kid to stay with his family, but the child has evil abilities.

A young man asks his friend's son over to visit with him and his family. But the boy turns out to possess wicked powers.

The quiet, well-ordered life of the Cutler family is suddenly disrupted with the arrival at their mansion of young and handsome Anton Gitano, whose father had saved Mr. Cutler's life during the Battle of Gallipoli. Gitano, who secretly suffers from satyriasis and whose past is a mystery, terrorizes the entire family, but especially one of the Cutler daughters, when he demonstrates a supernatural power—he can kill any living thing or person by simply wishing them dead.

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.
