Boris Karloff Presents: Tales of the Frightened

"Boris Karloff Presents: Tales of the Frightened was first published as a book in 1963, and included such stories as 'Man in the Raincoat', "The Deadly Dress', 'The Hand of Fate', "Don't Lose Your Head', 'Call at Midnight', 'Just Inside the Cemetery', 'The Fortune Teller', 'The Vampire Sleeps', 'Mirror of Death', and 'Never Kick a Black Cat'. The book was like many other excellent anthologies, such as The Ghostly Gallery, Stories that Scared Even Me, and Stories that Go Bump in the Night, presented by Alfred Hitchcock. But it is the recordings made by Karloff that are really cool to listen to. As I type this tonight, the wind howls angrily and blasts against the house with all the fury of hell. The clock ticks loudly. Floors creak. A draft catches my arm, and I shiver. Halloween is coming. Without further ado then, grab that blanket you had last night, turn out the lights, and have a listen to the stories.... Are you frightened?"

Inner Sanctum Mysteries, Vol. 3

"Every week, Inner Sanctum Mysteries told a story of ghosts, murderers, and lunatics. Taking its name from a popular series of mystery novels, Inner Sanctum Mysteries debuted over NBC radio’s Blue Network in January 1941 and featured one of the most memorable and atmospheric openings in radio history as an organist hit a dissonant chord, a doorknob turned, and a creaking door slowly began to open. Inner Sanctum Mysteries was produced in New York, the cast usually consisting of veteran radio actors, with occasional guest appearances by such Hollywood stars as Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, and Claude Rains. What made Inner Sanctum Mysteries unique among radio horror shows was its host, a slightly sinister sounding fellow originally known as “Raymond.” The host had a droll sense of humor and an appetite for ghoulish puns, and his influence can be seen among horror hosts everywhere, from the Crypt Keeper to Elvira. Raymond Edward Johnson was the show’s host until 1945; Paul McGrath took over as host until the show left the air in 1952. Producer Himan Brown would utilize the creaking door again in the 1970s, when he produced and directed The CBS Radio Mystery Theater. In this collection are the following episodes and the date they aired on radio: “Corridor of Doom” (23 Oct 45) “The Wailing Wall” (6 Nov 45) “Boomerang” (20 Nov 45) “The Dark Chamber” (11 Dec 45) “The Confession” (22 Jan 46) “Death of a Doll” (18 Oct 48) “The Devil’s Fortune” (31 Jan 49) “The Unburied Dead” (16 May 49) “The Corpse without a Conscience” (20 Jun 49) “Beneficiary: Death” (17 Apr 50) “No Rest for the Dead” (13 Jul 50) “Twice Dead” (6 Nov 50)"
