The Weird Circle was a syndicated supernatural/fantasy radio series that aired from 1943 to 1945, with a total of 78 episodes. The show focused on adapting stories from famous authors of the Victorian era or older, including Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo, Guy de Maupassant, and Hans Christian Anderson. Based in New York City, the series featured local acting talent but did not use recognizable voice actors. One unique aspect was its lack of music, which some argue helps the show remain timeless.

The show's niche was its adaptations of classic horror and supernatural tales, offering a more refined and literary experience compared to contemporaneous programs like Suspense, Inner Sanctum, and Lights Out. Themes explored in the series were fear of the unknown, retribution for past mistakes, and manifestations of darker parts of human psyche through supernatural elements such as ghosts, living objects, and other apparitions. Despite its low production budget and relative obscurity, The Weird Circle remains notable for its dedication to honoring the works of great literary figures.
