Wishes Can Be Fatal
Description
Whenever Nell Atterwood, now in a nursing home, makes a copy of her original needlepoint portrait of her former house, certain items omitted from the copy, including a maple tree and a Pekinese dog, are unexplainably destroyed. When she portrays her son’s second, young and beautiful wife, whom she despises, as an invalid with a cane, her relatives begin to wonder how strong her powers really are.
To get back at her horrible daughter-in-law, a strange and unusual old lady employs the power of good old-fashioned needlework.
A weird elderly woman uses traditional sewing skills to take revenge on her awful son's wife.
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.
