CBS Radio Mystery Theater was a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that aired on CBS from 1974 to 1982. Hosted by E.G. Marshall (and later Tammy Grimes), the show featured classic mystery, horror, and suspense tales - both adaptations of famous works and original stories. Each episode began with the iconic creaking door sound effect, inviting listeners into a world of intrigue, terror, and the supernatural.

Known as "Radio's Distinguished Series of Mystery and Suspense," the show featured top-tier actors, dramatic storytelling, and atmospheric sound design that captured the essence of classic Old Time Radio drama during its revival era.

This is a vintage radio broadcast from the 1970s-80s revival of dramatic radio programming.
