The details
About this item
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater was an ambitious effort by veteran radio producer Himan Brown to revive interest in American radio drama. Every night host E. G. Marshall (later Tammy Grimes) ushered listeners through a creaking door -- similar to the one Brown used on Inner Sanctum decades earlier -- for an hour of “the fear you can hear.” Brown produced nearly 200 new episodes of Mystery Theater every year, using both original scripts and adaptations of classic stories by Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Mystery Theater brought many veterans from radio’s golden age back before the microphone, including Agnes Moorehead, Richard Widmark, Celeste Holm, Mercedes McCambridge and Howard daSilva. The show also featured performances from many up-and-coming stage and film actors, including Tony Roberts, John Lithgow, Morgan Fairchild, Mandy Patinkin Rated 4.4 out of 5. Customers find this old-time radio series to be a well-done collection containing all 1,399 episodes of the radio show, with many rare extras included.

Review snippets: Great Job on Behalf of compositor. These shows are culled from what must be various sources. Unfortunately, CBS does not see fit to collect all of these themselves and market them. Probably due to royalties for the multitude of actors / Fantastic collection. I play these on my PS3. And I can even save them on it. Read more
