Himan Brown Inner Sanctum

Horror Anthology (1941 - 52)

Radio was famous for its ability to create emotions "out of thin air." One of the emotions that radio did best was stark raving terror. Horror radio shows took the darkened night and solitary listener as a willing companion on an unknown journey of fear, terror and dread. Tales of horror recreated by great actors, a spooky organ and chilling sound effects presented by a creepy, rib-tickling host, was a strange brew indeed. Inner Sanctum did it in spades! To this day the show remains a wonderful "guilty" pleasure of many old time radio fans, who listened back then when these shows first fired the imaginations of all but the most jaded.

Inner Sanctum
Strange Inner Sanctum

The ominous organ, and then, the famous turning doorknob and the deadly squeaking door, slow and ominous opened on the deep recesses of the Inner Sanctum. But wait! Here is our ghoulishly cleaver, er, clever host of the cutting remark, Raymond.

From Inner Sanctum's beginnings until 1945, Raymond Edward Johnson played the host with the most deadly runs of puns. Paul McGrath took over as Raymond in 1945, and played Raymond with a little more warmth…almost body temperature.

The wonderful organ player, probably a skeleton, was always alert for the sting of death, or an encore of gore. And the announcers often played off Raymond, putting up with his gruesome jests with commercial aplomb.

All the sly humor of the intro and goodnight was just a fiendish warm-up for the main event - a story that took you on a wild and scary ride, just like at the amusement park, filled with bumps and twists and turns, on and on to where you might not want to go. But will.
