CREEPS BY NIGHT |
"Creeps By Night" was a radio horror hosted anthology series that was aired on ABC Blue Network and CBC's Dominion Network from 15 February 1944 until 15 August 1944; with 30 minute x 16 episodes aired on Tuesday nights, originally at 10:30pm then later at 11:30pm. The show was hosted by Boris Karloff for the first 12 episodes, then by DR. X - Master of Mystery from episode 13 to 16.
It is not know who portrayed DR. X, though at least two different actors were the voice of Dr. X.
Using an anthology series format, "Creeps by Night" presented stories of suspense and mystery, described in a newspaper brief as: "subtle, psychological chillers". The first episode, "The Voice of Death", dealt with a widow who was made to commit murders after hearing the voice of her dead husband.
On 3 June 1944, a columnist in the publication "Showmen's Trade Review" wrote about another episode:
