THE BEST OF THE CBS RADIO MYSTERY THEATER

This collection of 50 radio shows represents the best of the 1399 episodes broadcasted from January 1974 to December 1982.
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater was an ambitious effort by veteran radio producer Himan Brown to revive interest in American radio drama. Every night host E. G. Marshall (later Tammy Grimes) ushered listeners through a creaking door -- similar to the one Brown used on Inner Sanctum decades earlier -- for an hour of "the fear you can hear."
Brown produced nearly 200 new episodes of Mystery Theater every year, using original scripts and adaptations of classic stories by Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The Mystery Theater brought back many veterans from radio's golden age before the microphone, including Agnes Moorehead, Richard Widmark, Celeste Holm, Mercedes McCambridge, and Howard DaSilva. The show also featured performances from many up-and-coming stage and film actors, including Tony Roberts, John Lithgow, Morgan Fairchild, Mandy Patinkin, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
E. G. Marshall died on August 24, 1998.
