A creaking door and a chorus of haunting organ music. No radio show opening is more memorable for many fans than the one heard on\xa0Inner Sanctum Mysteries. This disturbing simple salvo led people into thirty minutes of suspense and horror sprinkled with puns from a creepy host, all of which can now be heard again in sparkling audio quality from Radio Archives.
Inner Sanctum Mysteries\xa0was the brainchild of producer Himan Brown, inspired by the unsettling creaking door in the basement of a studio where he once worked. Brown took that inspiration and built around it a formula that lived on beyond the show itself. Listeners tuned in every week to hear that door open and be welcomed by the sinister, yet often humorous host to join him in a chair near the fire inside the Inner Sanctum for a story sure to chill them to the bone.
Stories on\xa0Inner Sanctum Mysteries\xa0originally included both classic and original tales, the new stories taking center stage as the show continued. With writers like pulp scribes Emile Tepperman and Robert Newman, as well as Robert Sloan, Milton Lewis, and others, it is little surprise that\xa0Inner Sanctum\xa0is still beloved by fans today. Utilizing numerous clich\xe9s and literary devices,\xa0Inner Sanctum Mysteries\xa0carried listeners into the heart of horror, a liberal dose of camp often thrown in. Using voices ranging from star Boris Karloff to a veteran crew of New York radio actors,\xa0Inner Sanctum\xa0set the standard for horror programs both on radio and even inspired decades of horror hosts on television.
Inner Sanctum Mysteries features some of the best of fright, terror, and fantastic storytelling old time radio has to offer!
