Inner Sanctum Halloween Month, day 10 of 31: "Musical Score"

One of the strengths of Inner Sanctum Mysteries was how they would frequently make music part of their story. In "Musical Score", originally broadcast May 29, 1945, a man on a life raft can't stand the song a man is humming to his wife. The man sends both of them to a watery grave. Some time later he begins to kill off the other people who were on the raft so he can conceal his guilt, but the tune he heard on the raft still haunts his mind.

With this episode, Paul McGrath became the host of Inner Sanctum Mystery. Fans used to confuse him with Raymond Edward Johnson; although he essentially played the same character, he's only ever referred to as "Mr. Host". The cast includes Berry Kroeger, Santos Ortega and Arnold Moss. You can listen to this episode at archive.org by clicking here.
