About this episode

Originally Aired: April 17, 1947 In Suspense #241, “Green-Eyed Monster,” Michael Dawson seems like the perfect grieving widower—until he remarries, and his second wife begins to stir old obsessions. Haunted by jealousy and guilt, Michael spirals into paranoia, suspecting Judy of being a serial killer. But when she turns up dead in the same trunk where he once hid his first wife’s body, the twist cuts both ways. Lloyd Nolan delivers a riveting performance in this psychological shocker, where possession, madness, and misdirection meet a sharp brass letter opener.
