[Reference Pacifica 1981 interview with Tom Lopez: “…discusses the experimental\nbinaural recording of an upcoming horror series ‘Out of the Blue’… Includes pilot sample of the\nbinaural recording for the horror series.”\n“1984—‘The Cabinet of Dr. Fritz,’ a series of horror stories recorded in Kunstkopf binaural\nsound (three-dimensional sound) is broadcast on 260 stations, as well as in Canada and Australia.\n‘The Mist’ by Stephen King, a 90-minute program that is part of this series, is aired on NPR and\nthe CBC as a Halloween special. This is the first Kunstkopf binaural, digital production to be aired\nvia satellite in the U.S. ‘Aura’ by Carlos Fuentes, another story in the series, wins the Corporation\nfor Public Broadcasting award.”\nIn 1984 “Aura” was awarded the NPR prize for best dramatic production of the year.\nOf “Sticks,” Gordon “Scifi Guy” Payton wrote, “I consider it to be the single most horrifying\naudio drama ever done.”\nTom Lopez: “’Sticks’ was produced separately, then put into that series. The Cabinet was a\nbunch of stories along the horrific—slightly, to some extent. They varied in length. ‘The Mist’ was\nthree and a half hours, ‘Mumbo Jumbo’ was six, and some were fifteen minutes and others were\nhalf an hour.”",
