MYSTERY IN THE AIR

PETER LORRE - "NARRATOR"
HARRY MORGAN - "ANNOUNCER"



From Radio Horror Hosts:
Regular listeners to the Abbot and Costello Show must have been a bit shocked when they heard the summer replacement for their weekly comedy. Mystery In The Air first aired in 1945, and for two summers, it was a crime series about Detective Stonewall Scott. In 1947, it became a horror series of psychological/ supernatural tales starring Peter Lorre.

PETER LORRE

The announcer was Harry Morgan of "Dragnet" and later, "M*A*S*H" fame.


HARRY MORGAN

Lorre was the weekly narrator and raging psychopath. Only eight different shows from this series are known to have survived.

Known surviving episode titles are:
Beyond Good and Evil
Crime and Punishment
The Black Cat
The Great Barastro
The Horla
The Lodger
The Mask of Medusa
The Queen of Spades



Peter Lorre was also the host for "Mystery Playhouse" and "Nightmare".
