Description

Almost every day, for nine years during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the CBS Radio Mystery Theatre brought monsters, murderers and mayhem together for a whole hour each evening. Created, produced and directed by Himan Brown, the series remains a landmark in radio drama. But Mystery Theater ended over 15 years ago and no one has yet been able to gather enough information to write a book detailing the history of the episodes - until now. This work offers a detailed log of every Mystery Theater episode ever broadcast - nine years of monsters, murderers and mayhem. Descriptive information includes exact titles, airdates and rebroadcast dates, episode numbers, cast lists, writer and adapter credits, and a storyline synopsis. This material comes directly from CBS press releases in order to insure complete accuracy. Also included wherever possible are information about the actors and actresses, quotes from performers and writers (many from personal interviews), anecdotes about various scripts and sound effects, and other notes of interest.
