INNER SANCTUM
"The Vengeful Corpse". The COMPLETE broadcast, exactly as heard on CBS on September 12, 1949. Sponsored by Bromo Seltzer. Starring KARL SWENSON and BARBARA WEEKS. A woman burned for being a witch many years ago, decides to come back from the grave in a strange form and seek revenge for the injustice done to her. The bodies start piling up as she wanders the countryside with a flaming torch, seeking the ancestors of those who wronged her so long ago. The program is introduced by that ghastly voiced character with the terrible puns about death, corpses and other fun things. Of course, no Inner Sanctum program would be complete without that "creaking door" that sounded as if it hadn't been oiled since the Salem Witch Trials. One of the best remembered sound effects in all radio.
Must listening for those who insist on being scared silly on a dark, lonely evening, curled up in the shadows by the glow of an old radio.

THE HERMIT'S CAVE
"Hanson's Ghost" The COMPLETE broadcast, exactly as heard on syndicated stations around the country during the second World War. Sponsored by Olga Coal. For some unexplained reason, the show was officially called, "The Mummers, In The Little Theatre Of The Air",but the faithful knew it as "The Hermit's Cave", named after the crackle-voiced insanely laughing old gent who every week introduced, "Ghost stories, weird stories, and murders too. The Hermit knows of them all. Turn out your lights. TURN THEM OUT!"
In this, the 406th show in the series (you mean there were 405 others?), the Hermit presents a good thriller about a demented old man, determined to live forever, by using his body as the new home for spirits brought back from the dead. Good and gruesome, I'm sure you'll love it.

Released with an 11" x 11" (28 x 28 cm) "Welcome to the Golden Age of Radio" heavy-stock insert/order form.
