31 Days of Halloween: Day 3: The Comics Rack : Scream

For 15 glorious weeks in 1984 British horror fan had a weekly comic all their own. Scream. It didn't last long but it made quite an impression while it was around - at least to it's, clearly not large enough to be profitable, fan base. Here is the first installment of a sort of highlights reel for Scream's tragically short run...

Classic radio Horror: The Inner Sanctum Mysteries

Inner Sanctum Mysteries was a popular old-time radio program that aired from January 7, 1941 to October 5, 1952. Created by Himan Brown, the anthology series featured stories of mystery, terror and suspense. The tongue-in-cheek introductions were in sharp contrast to shows like Suspense and The Whistler. A total of 526 episodes are known to have been produced. (Wikipedia)

*******************

"Taking its name from a popular series of mystery novels, Inner Sanctum Mysteries debuted over NBC's Blue Network in January 1941.

Inner Sanctum Mysteries featured one of the most memorable and atmospheric openings in radio history: an organist hit a dissonant chord, a doorknob turned and the famous "creaking door" slowly began to open." (Radio hall of Fame)
