The Vengeful Corpse - Inner Sanctum

In a small hillside New England cemetery a chill evening wind stirs the leaves and a blood red moon clings to the branches.

Inner Sanctum Mystery, also known as Inner Sanctum, is a popular old-time radio program that aired from January 7, 1941, to October 5, 1952. It was created by producer Himan Brown

The program's familiar and famed audio trademark was the eerie creaking door which opened and closed the broadcasts. Himan Brown got the idea from a door in the basement that "squeaked like Hell." The door sound was actually made by a rusty desk chair. The program did originally intend to use a door, but on its first use, the door did not creak. Undaunted, Brown grabbed a nearby chair, sat in it and turned, causing a hair-raising squeak. The chair was used from then on as the sound prop. On at least one memorable occasion, a staffer innocently repaired and oiled the chair, thus forcing the sound man to mimic the squeak orally.

Himan Brown later created the CBS Radio Mystery Theater that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982

Originally Broadcast 9/12/1949
