Inner Sanctum Mysteries
Volume 1


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 Inner 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 was 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 Inner Sanctum Mysteries originally 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 Inner Sanctum is still beloved by fans today. Utilizing numerous clichés and literary devices, Inner Sanctum Mysteries carried 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, Inner Sanctum set the standard for horror programs both on radio and even inspired decades of horror hosts on television.

Inner Sanctum Mysteries, Volume 1 features the best of fright, terror, and fantastic storytelling the series has to offer! Ten hours, twenty shows of spine tingling fun.

5 of 5 Excellent collection June 24, 2024
Reviewer: Stephen K Lau from Atlanta, GA United States  
Creepy show with the door and the host wishing everybody pleasant dreams at the end of each show and the Lipton soup girl.  Good quality and enjoyable listening.

5 of 5 A 'Brisk" flavor to each story......... May 28, 2022
Reviewer: Richard McLeod from RIVERSIDE, CA United States  
Generally commercials are simply bothersome, but the Lipton Tea commercials for Lipton Tea with their regular talk of its' "Brisk" flavor definitely helps to overcome what could easily have been stories that are rather frightening. In many ways these stories are some of the most gruesome in this genre, yet the comic relief during the commercials, worked into the stories actually enhances the quality of each episode. The Radio Archives staff have restored these vintage radios shows to their original clarity of sound and tonal quality. Even the "creaking door" sound is amazingly clear. The Radio Archives staff definitely shows a commitment by the Company to provide the best in restoration techniques. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
