Inner Sanctum Mysteries
Episode: The man from yesterday (12/21/1941)


Its campy comedy notwithstanding, the stories were usually effective little chillers, mixing horror and humor in equal doses. Memorable episodes included "Terror by Night" (September 18, 1945) and an adaptation of "The Tell-Tale Heart" (August 3, 1941). The latter starred Boris Karloff, who was heard regularly in the first season, starring in more than 15 episodes and returning sporadically thereafter.
Other established stars in the early years included Mary AstorHelen HayesPeter LorrePaul LukasClaude RainsFrank SinatraOrson Welles. Most of the lead and supporting players were stalwarts of New York radio. These included Santos OrtegaLarry HainesTed OsborneLuis van RootenStefan SchnabelRalph BellMercedes McCambridgeBerry KroegerLawson ZerbeArnold MossLeon JanneyMyron McCormickIan Martin, and Mason Adams. Players like Richard WidmarkEverett SloaneBurgess MeredithAgnes MooreheadKen LynchAnne Seymour, andSantos Ortega also found fame or notability in film or television.
Of more than 500 programs broadcast, only about 200 remain in circulation, sometimes minus dates or titles.
