Back in the late 70s I use to lay in my room at my parents house and listen to this program every Friday night I loved it. Now my folks are gone and the house is now mine and I’m back in the same room listening again. I’m 63 years old and I truly love the nostalgia of it all.

My Dad used to tape these (remember cassettes?) and send them to me while I was in the service. Great memories.

Love these radio shows driving to and from work. No f bombs, just imagination and good writing.

When I was in elementary school in the 70s my Dad would tune this in on the am radio it was always scary to hear the opening of the creaking door. These cool old radio programs bring back so many memories. Thank You for bringing them back

I've gotten so tired of trying to find something on TV that's worth watching... I'm thrilled to find these stories... awesome..

I don’t watch TV anymore...I’d much rather use my imagination! I LOVE going to sleep listening to books like this...it makes for GREAT dreams!

When I was in high school in the 70s, my friends and I would drive around at night in the rain and listen to these shows and sometimes we would go into the very old cemetery and our imaginations would go wild! Thank you!

The best part of these audio programs you can enjoy with your eyes closed. In fact it is more vivid with your eyes closed.

It's amazing to hear E.G. speculate on how the 2000's would possibly be back then, when we are listening to this program while we are actually living in the 21st century.

Today 11-28 -2020 listening to these is much better for my husband and I to listen to,we love them . Better that TV

The past can be a very comfortable place to be, we know it is safe. I’m 72 and feel like most of the others who have written here. I’m the oldest of eight, and had to get a part-time job when I was 14, worked after school for 30 hrs/wk. I feel like I grew up in a golden age. Wish I could go back just for a few hours………it was wonderful.

This is when you had to use your mind for thinking about things and not your fingers 👍

Anyone who misses these great stories is missing history at its best.

What a wonderful time when a family would listen to radio stories back when the world made sense.

I was 13 when this first aired. My parents loved going for rides in the car. We used to listen to shows like this on the radio. I sure miss those rides.

Back 1976/77 when I would drive from southern Michigan to the upper penninsula about every other weekend for almost a year an a half I would listen to this. It sure ate up the miles. Too bad CBS still doesn't do this.

I remember being a little girl, probably age 10, in 1976, or 77 in Philadelphia, pa, and my dad putting these on the radio in my room at night when I would go to bed. I'll forever be attached to these wonderful memories. There is nothing on TV these days that compares to these great stories.

Grew up listening to these. What a blast from the past!Thank you for posting them. Fond memories of my childhood and my parents, whom I miss dearly.

These gems help me fall asleep today just like they did in the late 70s and early 80s.

Why don't we have these types of programs any more? this sparks the imagination.

Holy crap... I've been trying to find this forever! My brother and I used to listen to this back in the 70s but I could not remember the name of the program. Once I heard that theme I recognized it immediately!!!

Used to sneak my transistor radio in bed as kid an listened to these every week night. Intro and closing used to freak me the flip out. Ah good times

Takes me back to a time when both tv and radio were both good. I cut my cable about 3 years ago and honestly don't miss it.

I was 10 to 18 in the 8 years this series aired on radio. It was great from 1974 to 1982 and is still great now. Thanks so much!

When I was 9 or 10, (1974), I was up late because my dad took me to a St. Louis Blues hockey game and in his car, he kept the radio tuned to KMOX, and this came on (around 11 pm) and I asked him what it was and he said, "Oh, they've started doing this. They're trying to show people what radio was like before television. It's kind of silly." But I was fascinated! After bedtime, I'd turn it on in my room on low volume and I listened faithfully for about 3 or 4 years. I remember often hearing the familiar voice of Fred Gwynne of TV's The Munsters. Mercedes McCainbridge was a very frequent guest voice. A few future stars, like Mandy Patinkin did them. This was the only scripted, acted Radio show in America after the 1950s and hardly anyone listened to it.

This used to air at 11:00 p.m. in my city. I listened on a clock radio every weeknight. The music and E.G. Marshall's voice bring back such good memories.

I’m wow Eleven as of yesterday! And I have been subscribed to ChillySunshine for years! I love EVERYTHING about the 70s and watch nothing but MeTV. The music was wonderful, the people were happy, and life was just great! Sometimes I just get ecstatic listening to E.G Marshal’s stories. Thank you for blessing us, ChillySunshine!

I’m 60 yrs now. Used to listen to this using a pillow speaker because it aired after hours!! 👁

Autoplay on. Charger in phone. Last joint smouldering in the ashtray, dog snuggled up behind my knees and the rain outside pattering down. perfect. Goodnight.

I remember being a kid in the 70s Hiding a little Radio under my pillow listing to Mystery. Im so happy i can listen to them now thank u so much for sharing with all of us.

"... waaaay back in the year 1998..." Indeed.

Just came across this. Love it. I’d stay up way past my bedtime to listen to these at my grandmas house. Like so many others, I too had a little pocket radio. Just a simple 5transistor am Realistic. But that’s all I needed. In St.Louis, it was KMOX, 1120. Listened for years. Thanks for posting this. 📻👍🙂‼️

I love hearing these great radio shows when I'm on the road. I drive a big truck n drive long hours. Hearing these shows makes time go by better

Thank you for posting these. When I was a little girl my grandmother and I used to listen to these when I stayed with her. She would put a little transistor am radio under her pillow and we would go to sleep listening to these stories. Thank you for a wonderful piece of comfort from my childhood!

I also used to listen to these in bed at night when a kid in the 70s. Glad I thought to look this up. Thank you.

Man, I miss the 20th century so much. Great channel. Thank you.

I used to listen to these in the 70's when I was in high school. Reminds me of my parent's old house. Great memories. Thank you.

Just the right thing during a Quarantine- 2020.

whoever you are, ChillySunshine, thank you for uploading these little gems, greetings from Bruges!

I remember listening to these driving home from my part time job while in college. That ‘creaking door’ gets me every time!

Back in high school in the 70s I made an AM radio from a radio shack kit. Had it on a stand next to my bed and would lay in bed listening to this show before I went to sleep. It was on from 10 to 11. My father began collecting old radio shows in the 70s and he recorded every one of these. Now I listen to this and all the old radio shows from the 40s and 50s whenever I am driving or working in my shop. I have turned into my father which is not a bad thing. Lots of great memories.

Funny how E.G. mentions life in the 21st century in his opening. Saying how some will see it and "the rest of us" can only speculate about how different it will be. It's hard now to imagine life without all our toys and gadgets, and how much HAS changed since these shows aired.

I'm so glad that I found this. I used to listen as a kid in the 70's before sleeping. I loved these! Brings back some great memories.

Back in the 1970's, I used to listen to Mysrery Theater on a.m. radio...I miss those days...

I bought a 1934 Packard-Bell radio when I was a kid in 1974 from our lovely old neighbor lady for 3 bucks and used to listen to this radio show at night and pretend I was a kid in the 30's!

I remember a Am station would play these in our city in the 70's . Last of the times .

I remember listening to the CBS Radio Mystery Theater every night as a teenager, WRKO in Boston played it 6 nights per week, 10:00-11:00 pm.

I listened on WHAM 1180 am out of Rochester, New York! The show came on at 10 PM - I had to turn the volume down, so as not to disturb my parents or older sister. I didn't have a transistor radio (with an earphone), so I listened on an old Zenith table radio. To this day, I love radio drama! My father was a child of the Depression, and back then the radio was people's primary source of news and entertainment. Kudos to the people who have digitized these radio shows and preserved them for future generations to enjoy!

Even as a young girl in the sixties I could not fathom living in the year 2000 but especially not 2020!

Old radio programs are excellent.

EG Marshall and these shows were awesome. A way life gone by still in the 70s making thrills and chills. Loved the ones with Fred Gwynne.

I'm 10 years old listening to the radio with my Dad again! Thank you!

I used to get in trouble in the 70's for sneaking a radio to bed and listening to this show under the covers. Cool to listen to E.G. Marshall and these chilling radio plays once again!

I'm 60 when I was 12 I stayed at the camp listened to these with my farther he is gone now, I'll go soon enough but love these memories!!!

My mom and I road tripped from CT to the NJ shore most weekends. Loved listening to this show on each trip. Mom died 17 years ago, missing her :-)

I'm so happy I've found these. Houston 740am played these at 9pm. My father used to make me turn the lights off at 9 but I'd always sneak my radio under my cover hoping not to get caught. Those were great times and the golden years of America. I'm glad I grew up back then instead of now.

I now listen to these after all these years...ahh the 70's freakin rocked! Now I listen to these when I go to bed..lol pretty kool...

Was on the edge of my wheel chair listening to this program. Excellent taste for entertainment.

I was stationed in Frankfurt Germany in the middle 70's and we didn't have tv but we had radio shows and I listened to them while cleaning my room and getting my uniforms ready for the week. It was great.

Finding Radio Dramas from early Welles’ Mercury Theatre to BBC dramas of today have to be in the top 5 things that have enriched my life for the best.

Listening to these plays in the 70's was a guilty pleasure a 10yr old staying up past midnight could ask for. Thanks for bringing back those memories

"We drove ourselves from the garden when it was always possible to return, up until now. Now it looks as though we may have planted seeds in the dead soil of a lost world. A world that may have to go on, if it goes on, without us." Incredibly prophetic words.

What a throwback to my teens. My sister and I would lay in our beds listening to our radios in our rooms and would talk about the episodes the next day, especially the creepy ones.

I.m from the UK..enjoying listening to these now .2017!

Nice cover art. The sky is marvelous.

Back in the early 80's when my husband and I were on vacation in utah we would bed down in the van and listen to Mystery Theater. Fun times, fun times. No really they were.

I remember when I had just come home for my first leave from the Corp I was trying to find something on TV and started listening 🎧 to something like this. Thank You So Very Much For Bringing This Back

I don't know of any US radio that does this type of thing anymore. I remember I used to lay in bed and fall asleep listening to the CBS radio mystery theater. There were some really fantastic stories. I don't know why they don't do these types of shows anymore....probably the cost. But...... Get the BBC app for your phone and then tune into BBC 4 extra. It features 24/7 of radio dramas.....history, SciFi, mystery, thrillers, horror, audio books, etc. The broadcasts are from 1950's upto present day

What's absolutely brilliant is all of "us" who listen to these terrific shows all have the 21st century trappings and here we all are listening to stories written 40+yrs ago, doesn't that say something about the longevity of these wonderful tales and sadly how little (sometimes) the stories of our time lack the thrill and impact of these historic and exciting stories!!! Of course there are great writers now but nothing like these thought provoking stories that never (in our opinion) grow old!! As a footnote I also listen to X minus 1, Suspense, The Whistler, Box 13, Johnny Dollar, Vincent Price-Fear and I may have missed a classic here oops Dragnet!!!! These shows if listened to by most kids of today they would dismiss them out of hand for X-box and the likes but it's not their fault as my 14 yr old daughter is sadly one of the said kids!!

I grew up listening to these shows. Now I appreciate the production value.

I listened to this with my dad on KMOX St Louis in the 1970s. Thanks for posting.

Many a lonely night I listened to each one of these stories while on guard duty. For at least one hour every night I was not bored to death. Never missed the broadcast. Was devastated when my radio station stopped broadcasting them.

I love old time radio theatre / shows . They are captivating without moving pictures . Must have been great to come home , flip the radio on and listen to your fav shows 👍

"We'll have to guess what the world will be like in the 2000's" it's like being a time traveler listening to these great radio plays

Captivating radio in the early 1970s. It was so much fun to listen to. Who needed tv when you had these most vivid stories by word. An art never better: radio !

my granny said a lot of old or people who lived alone would listen to the radio (back in the 30s and 40s) to not feel alone.

Oh wow! I loved these shows when I was growing up. Had forgotten about them until I stumbled upon this!

Sometimes they'd use already established television programs for these episodes. I swear I heard a Twilight Zone episode being done here. It was the one where the old bed ridden lady kept getting strange phone calls at night, hearing "moaning and help me" only to find out in the end that it presumably the fault of a downed telephone line that had coincidentally been at the outskirts of town, coming from the cemetery where her deceased husband was buried..... Excellent program, left a lasting memory in my mind. E.G. Marshall was excellent.

This is so awesome, its like going back in time ,i love these stories at night while going to sleep

This would come on at precisely 8:06 pm, and God help anyone who interfered with the radio or being all set in place when E.G. Marshall came on. Not one peep! If we were in the car when it happened to come on, everyone had to shut up and not talk over it (fortunately most everyone agreed), then once we got home, I’d wait for a commercial break to run into the house to catch the rest of it. Couldn’t miss a single second of it. RMT was a serious deal. Thanks for the upload:)

These old radio broadcasts remind me that the good old days are gone. The more advanced technology gets, the worse our society and culture seems to be.

I use to listen to the CBS radio mystery 40 years ago

Listened to these in Fayetteville NC back then in 1977.

"What life in the 2000's will be like," A horror story you couldn't have predicted even in your fiction

Used to listen to these laying across the backseat in Mom and Dad's car on the way back home from visiting relatives. We went often and it was a long drive, so I've heard lots of these... but so long ago that they all are new again. Thanks ChillySunshine and.... pleasant....dreams?

I LOVE ALL of these Stories. I grew up listening to radio.. and the scarry "Squeeking Door" later, I found the ones you are playing.. Now, later on in my life, I find them again.. Always so peaceful to listen to .

Oh my, I loved this when I was in high school. I would turn off the lights, get into bed and turn on the radio.

Thanks for this . It's always the same thing on TV these days.

Used to listen to these with my dad in the car on Sunday evenings drivin home from up north.

I listened to this program each night after going to bed as a kid back in the 1970’s. Thanks for posting.

This night is December 31, 2020. This is wonderful! Thank you!

What's with the down votes...if you didn't grow up listening to these as a kid just move on. Remember going to bed listening on my little radio in my bookcase headboard as a kid...good times

I couldn't sleep the other night so me and my dog listened to old horror podcasts.

I got a transistor radio from my grandma for Christmas in the mid 1970s, when my mom and dad made me go to my bedroom upstairs I would turn it down low and listen to mystery theater every night they came on. Loved them, brings back memories.

Use to love this program on the radio in the early 80's. Great stories. And E.G. Marshall, best host you could want.

“The last drop of oil was pumped in the 1990s”...

These broadcasts, to me at least, were more scrary than a movie.

I used to listen to this program on the radio with my brothers back when we were teens. Miss those old shows where the background music and sounds let your mind build the visuals for you making the experience unique for each of us.

My grandmother use to listen to radio at night it use to make her go to sleep. I could never understand as a kid . Now I do ! I use it all the time and without the commercials it’s just perfect. Thank you. 😊

This is better than any movie.
