- Synopsis
- Inner Sanctum Mystery is considered by many as the founding father of radio horrors. Known for its signature opening creaking door, Raymond the host invited listeners in for a weekly half-hour fright fest of murder and madness. Werewolves, vampires, creeping vines, walking corpses, evening storms, haunted houses, black cats, vengeful ancestors, and even ghosts roamed the airwaves. For eleven seasons this horror program frightened listeners and today, the program remains one of the best-known radio horrors of the Twentieth Century. Horror stars Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre and Lon Chaney, Jr. Were the star figures in these classics, along with Frank Sinatra, Agnes Moorehead, Judith Evelyn, Ralph Bellamy, Donald Buka, and many others. This book documents the history of this horror program, including an episode guide for the radio series and television programs, documentation of the horror movies, and a listing of the Simon & Schuster mystery novels. Years of research and a wealth of information can be found within these pages-making this book a "must have" for every old-time radio fan.
