Inner Sanctum Halloween Month, day 23 of 31: "The Devil's Workshop"

I have no problem with Inner Sanctum getting a little weird and creepy. This outing, "The Devil's Workshop," is one with a very strong supernatural concept -- a wax dummy seems to have come to life -- and unlike the perceived Inner Sanctum trope, there's no real cop-out ending. There's not much in the way of answers no matter how you look at it and the episode is better for it. I think this is one of the series' best programs.

"The Devil's Workshop" was originally broadcast on October 10th, 1949. It was hosted by Paul McGrath and featured Mason Adams, Joan Banks, Martin Gabel and Lawson Zerbe. You can listen to this episode at archive.org by clicking here.
