The
Inner Sanctum Mysteries
featured stories of mystery, terror and suspense. Each
episode began with the show's eerie trademark, a squeaking door, followed by
creepy organ music (supplied by Lew White) and a host who sardonically
wise-cracked his way through the introduction. Raymond Edward Johnson began
as host, later replaced by Paul McGrath.
Many established stars played roles in the series, including Peter Lorre, Helen Hayes, Mary Astor, Frank Sinatra and Orson Welles. The program ran from January 7, 1941 to October 5, 1952.
