31 Days of Halloween: Day 1: The Vault

From deep within the Ravensdeath archives come the horrors of the past...

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)

Over the years I've shared a lot of classic radio drama of the Horror variety. These days you can find loads of great sites sharing tons of wonderful OTR. Keep watching our frequent "Trick or Treaters" blog roundups to see who is sharing what this season!
