This week marks the final chapter of our Month of Spooky, and we're ending it with a creaking door and a chill in the air. It's a double dose of fright from one of old-time radio's finest — Inner Sanctum Mysteries. We'll hear two unforgettable tales: Dead Man's Vengeance (October 7, 1944) – A chilling story where the host himself, Raymond, becomes the target of a supernatural hit list.  The Corridor of Doom (October 23, 1945) – Starring the great Boris Karloff, this haunting tale follows a man lost in a hospital corridor that may lead straight into madness. Between the stories, Ron dives deep into Inner Sanctum's eerie history — its creaking doors, its pun-loving host, and its strange ability to make us both laugh and shiver. He also reflects on why we like to be scared and what keeps these old tales alive more than 80 years later. So, pull up a chair, dim the lights, and join us for one last visit to the shadows.

Trick or treat! It's time for the annual Down These Mean Streets Halloween Special! In this king-sized bonus show, we'll hear a parade of stories - both spooky and silly - designed to get you in the spirit of the season. First, big screen horror legend Boris Karloff lends his voice to "The Corridor of Doom," a thriller from Inner Sanctum Mysteries (originally aired on CBS on October 23, 1945). The Great Gildersleeve attends a Halloween party (originally aired on NBC on October 29, 1947) and a Halloween prank backfires on Henry in The Aldrich Family (originally aired on NBC on October 30, 1940). Then, it's ghosts vs. gumshoes in a pair of old time radio mysteries. Michael Shayne finds a dead body in a haunted house in "The Ghost of Moccasin Hill" (originally aired on Mutual on April 9, 1945), and a ghost may be responsible for a murder in a syndicated adventure of Boston Blackie. The Origin of Superstition tells us the story of the Boogey Man in a syndicated show from 1935, and Favorite Story dramatizes Washington Irving's classic "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Dorothy McGuire reprises her screen role as The Screen Director's Playhouse adapts "The Spiral Staircase" (originally aired on NBC on November 20, 1949), and Herbert Marshall makes a monster in a Suspense production of "Frankenstein" (originally aired on CBS on November 3, 1953).

We're back to Sunday Showcase's Mutual Presents as we introduce another favourite from the Mutual Broadcasting System, our spiritual forefather to the Mutual Audio Network- Welcome to "The Crime Club"! The Crime Club aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System as a half-hour weekly radio series, beginning on December 2, 1946 and continuing until October 16, 1947, a run of 47 episodes. It aired on Mondays at 8 p.m. through December and then on Thursdays at 10 p.m. It was also heard on Wednesdays and Sundays on some stations. Each installment was introduced by the series host, The Librarian, portrayed by Barry Thomson and Raymond Edward Johnson (who was perhaps better known as the host of Inner Sanctum Mysteries). The series featured murder and mystery dramas, some of which had already been published by the Doubleday Crime Club. A new Crime Club book was made available to the public each week and distributed though local newsstands and bookstores. Each show in the series began the same way. The telephone rings and the Librarian answers "Hello, I hope I haven't kept you waiting. Yes, this is the Crime Club. I'm the Librarian. (name of the program)? Yes, we have that Crime Club story for you. Come right over. (The organist plays a creepy tune). The doorbell chimes. "Ah you're here. Good. Take the easy chair by the window. Comfortable? The book is on this shelf." (The organist plays a scary chord). Here it is - (name of the program, the author and a very brief summary). "Let's look at it under the reading lamp." The Librarian begins reading the prologue for the tale, and another Crime Club offering begins. This week we start things off with "Death Blew Out the Match" and "Mr. Smith's Hat"!

The episode of "Inner Sanctum Mysteries" kicks off with the host, Raymond, presenting a chilling narrative that sets the tone for the evening's story, titled "Song of the Slasher." The show evokes a nostalgic and eerie atmosphere reminiscent of old-time radio thrillers while drawing in the listeners with its engaging dialogue and dark humor interspersed with commercial break mentions of Lipton tea.Raymond introduces the characters and incites curiosity about the bizarre circumstances surrounding a notorious serial killer known as the "slasher," who has horrified the neighborhood with his gruesome crimes. The tension escalates as the story unfolds, revolving around Detective Dan Miller, portrayed by Arnold Moss. He is tasked with unraveling the mystery behind a series of grisly murders marked by a peculiar tune whistled by the killer.As the episode proceeds, listeners are thrust into the life of Detective Miller, who grapples with both the threats posed by the slasher and his own personal concerns about his wife, Laura. Their dialogue reveals Miller's determination to protect his wife while also drawing attention to their living situation in the dangerous neighborhood. The atmosphere grows ominous when Laura hears the signature whistling of the slasher, prompting her to venture out, leading to a moment of suspense that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats.The plot thickens when Miller suspects their eccentric neighbor, Reginald Trevelyan, who is a reclusive musician often heard whistling that same tune. As the detective seeks more information and tries to build a case against Trevelyan, he navigates through various clues, interviews, and misdirections that deepen the intrigue, ultimately revealing a myriad of characters, each with their oddities and potential motives.Tension peaks when Miller discovers his wife has gone missing. The frantic search leads him to Trevelyan, culminating in a violent confrontation that exposes dark secrets and reveals betrayals. The episode explores themes of paranoia and deception, as personal relationships are tested against the harsh realities of violence.In an unexpected twist, it is revealed that Sykes, the janitor, is the real slasher, having framed Trevelyan for his own murderous impulses. Miller's ambition to solve the case and prove his worth as a detective leads to a shocking and ironic denouement where he becomes ensnared in his own web of lies and criminality. The narrative concludes with a darkly humorous moral about the perils of domestic discord, leaving the audience with a chilling yet thought-provoking reflection on the nature of evil.The show balances horror with wit, and the interplay between characters adds depth to the unfolding drama. Throughout, the connection to Lipton tea serves as both a humorous juxtaposition and a sense of normalcy amidst the sinister events, drawing a stark contrast between the mundane and the macabre. The expertly crafted dialogue, along with the suspenseful sound design, immerses listeners fully in the world where danger lurks behind every corner, making for a captivating auditory experience.
