Creeps by Night
1944
Known Episodes: 16 (7 Circulating)
A thriller series so scary that listeners with heart problems were “urged NOT to listen to Boris Karloff in Creeps By Night”. Noteworthy as one of the few programs to showcase six of Drama’s finest proponents of the thriller characterization–Boris Karloff, Laird Cregar, Peter Lorre, Bela Lugosi, Raymond Massey, and Basil Rathbone.
