When I was maybe 8 years old, I used to listen to this every week on my little am radio. Came on way past my bedtime. I’d have to sneak and hold the radio tight to one ear.
This takes me back to Sunday nights as a kid. This played on CHUM FM (Toronto station) and my Dad would put it on the stereo in his room to fall asleep to. My parents' house is an old church from the 1850s, so the creepy voices and sounds from the stories were carried by the hollowness of the cathedral ceiling throughout the house, among the sounds of competing snoring by Mom and Dad. Ah, childhood.
Hard to believe that after all the entertaining modern technology we have today, that many of these radio programs are actually more interesting then TV. I wish the radio stations still created mystery and drama programs.
+Barbara G Absolutely!
Then again, easier to believe when considering that "modern technology" is a failed substitute for the human soul and spirit.
Mona Irwin love these old shows!
Barbara G me too. it's a lot more entertaining than TV.
They still do in some countries, because they have that here. I miss how they talked back then tho.
I remember camping out and listening to this on a small radio
My brother, sisters, and myself used to listen to these every week back in the 70s.
I remember my Dad playing these in the car when I was young , they used to creep me out. Great memories
Wow, I remember listening to Mystery Theater back in the day. I tune in every Saturday night 🌙. This is terrific, thanks!
My favorite radio show of all time! All 1,399 episodes! I grew up listening to these in the '70s and love them even more today
I graduated in 75. I listened to rock, mostly. I never knew these mystery story's existed until I found them here on Y. T. I've been loving them for about 5 years. Every night I listen. I don't even have cable or satellite anymore. You Tube or free channels. Thank God for internet👍🤗
Ohhhh how I love these old stories..thank you for posting them!!
My dad would play this for me when I was like 6 and 7 years old to go to sleep. Morbid, but I'm totally happy that he did!
Chill, dark nights...the time for ghost stories and fantasy! Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT AND a radio fantasy comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles.

Best childhood memories.
your channel, these stories, the classic radio style, and the nostalgia helped me get through my detox from oxy addiction.. i couldn't sleep for 11 nights and me and my dad would listen to these in the living room all night. 23 days clean now and still look forward to listening to these each night while i fall asleep.. thanks for sharing
+Borgia Nation ~ I know many have died from Oxy Addiction so that's great to hear...............Hope all is going well.
+ChillySunshine thanks. yes, it is a major problem nowadays and the trap is easy to fall into. i hope you and all you love never experience it. thanks for the kind words
Slomofogo Perhaps you're the judgmental type that requires someone's full detailed life story. First, you know nothing if you've never experienced addiction so fuck off. I broke my back and had it fused together when I was 20 and lost everything I had as far as sports go. When the degeneration got worse enough, they eventually had to do a percutaneous discectomy and now I have no padding in between two other disks instead of just a fused disk. So, real man who delights in their attempt to belittle someone they don't know, when you're my age, 25, and can't fucking walk without a goddamned cane and you can't have sex because your right leg goes numb whenever you try to move in an awkward position and have to always lay on your back, when you can't drive because the position of sitting once again makes your leg go numb, when someone at that age is going through that kind of shit and they are prescribed to powerful medications, shit can happen. I'm glad a "real man" like you had the will power and sheer determination stop taking Percocet after they almost killed you... which would have meant you either have an allergy to it or you took the whole bottle because Percocet is not strong enough for a correctly prescribed dosage to almost kill you. Thanks for your attempt at being positive but if this is just the kind of person you are, then you shouldn't offer anybody any sort of words of advice or encouragement because you're shit at it.
+Borgia Nation ignore that comment. hope your not in pain and your doing ok. I love these uploads too, thanks for sharing✌
Dion St. Michael Hey! Thanks! Ya, it was a brutal several days but it all seems like a distant nightmare now.. It took about a month to readjust, but there were really only about 4 or 5 days where it was so terrible that it's almost hard to describe.. It's definitely worth going through tho
When we lived in Kissimmee , Florida, I would go out to the our car, late at night, turn on CBS Mystery Theater, put my knees on the dashboard, and listen to this wonderful show!
Great Memories!
Matt Mathew+
Me too i loved listening
To this on my little
Transistor radio late at night
Back in the 1970s
Why didnt you listen in the house???
@@jordin7091 Am reception would be better outside and at that time the best AM radio receivers were in cars. I used to sit in my window or on the porch roof (outside my window) at night.
@@jalaneperry7643, for me it was the clock radio beside the bed.
Love these stories. They actually give me calm during the storm I am living. Thank you for sharing!
Me too ♥️
Just discovered this- what a treasure trove during this quarantine. I don't know how I missed it in the 70's. Thanks, so very much.
Good opiiii8oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiipiiiiii
Pp
My brother and I would make our own cassette tapes telling scary stories and even doing PSAs and commercials... so classic!
You should do it again and spend time together on a you tube channel that you created together. Just like the good old days. Seems like we all have ideas like this and we mean to do the things on our lists but time passes and we never do and then regret it later when it appears to be to late
I used to have 2 cds of just sound effects and use them to make mix tapes too.
Same! So did my brother and I! He used to get sound effect records from the public library and he so cleverly incorporated the effects with the story. Amazing times!
My best friend and I used to listen to this when we were kids in the early '70's. Scared the heck outta us!
These are great. I remember them from high school days. if you'd like to hear something like this, try Claude Chabot's Theatre of the Fantastic on YT. One of them is at ruclips.net/video/tjMKxhE-elw/видео.html.
We play this loudly on Halloween night for trick or treaters!!
My sister and I used to listen in the 70s. It was the squeaky door that scared me.
@J Ozzy me too my friend
Same! Our childhood was awesome!
Thank You for posting! WOW memories! I couldn't remember the name of the show but AS SOON as I heard the creaky door I remembered!😲😁 I remember when mom sent me to bed (and I was a night owl even as a child) I would switch to AM station a listen to around 10pm.😁
So enjoyable to listen to these radio shows. Thanks for posting them. Nice escape from the high tech world and it’s ongoing pressures to keep up! 😘❤️👍
I just found your channel and subbed & liked. Thank God for people like you who upload precious gems like these. I'm a HUGE fan of old time radio. Especially the mysteries. A thousand thank you's.
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a great favorite childhood memory. Glad to have the chance to hear them again. Thanks.
Me too!
Hey everyone! Tysm for this posing. I enjoyed it.

Listening on a snowy and rainy Saturday afternoon. I always liked the old radio shows of the 40s and 50s and I just noticed these. I had no idea there was a show like this in the 70s. It had to be a part of the 50s nostalgia everyone was feeling at the time.
wow! this show was so cool to my brother and I , back in the 70s on A.M radio every Saturday night, at 10:00p.m.
remember lying in bed as a young kid and listening( past my bedtime,so I had to put the radio under the covers)
Thank you so much for putting this on I used to listen to this with my mother when I was a wee little tiny thing brings back good memories she's gone she's been gone for a long time thank you
Love these old stories! Lots of memories from listening to these with my dad and mom when we'd go to the lake. A few times it was stormy, and that added to the atmosphere.
As a kid we would listen to CBS radio theatre on road trips when my workaholic father made himself available. Cherished memories to say the least.
I love hearing the old adverts included
I would listen to CBS Mystery theater on Armed Forces Network (AFN) when I was posted Over seas in 1976 it would come on at midnight to one.I was just a teenager and worked K-9 and I would get spooked while listning to the story. I am so glad its on you tube.
H Baxter Great memories!.......In 1976 I was not yet 10 and hiding under the covers in my bed when I listened to the Mystery Theater.
I love radio theater of any kind.Rod serling also has a radio program called Zero Hour
H Baxter
I've heard of The Zero Hour, someone else just suggested a show called The Black Mass which I had not heard of before.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Mass
I will chek it out.and I sub your channel,thanks for posting the shows.I love radio shows.
H Baxter I started listening CBS Radio Mystery Theater in the fall of 1975, when I was in the Marine Corps stationed at Camp LeJeune NC. Great memories when I was only 20 yrs old. Semper Fi.
Awesome, The only thing missing is the radio commercials from the 1970's I remember as a kid. Watergate updates in the news, food adds and prices of what thing's were on sale for that week in the grocery store. Crazy, like a different life now.
Many episodes have commercials, PSA & news too.....They're like little time capsules.
I hated all Watergate news and updates at the TIME, hate them still. In fact, I'm just a regular little hater! LOL, srsly.
You are absolutely right, three loaves of bread at ShopRIte for $1. Amazing how inflation has raised the same so high. It’s like watching the TV shows from the 70’s and seeing gas for $0.29 a gallon.
It was a different life. Gone with the wind.
Budweiser commercials
I used to listen to these during the 70's on Sundays on WGY
I’ve always loved radio mysteries!
Wish modern radio did stuff like this. Thanks
I listen to these most nights in bed and it helps me relax :)
I was listening to meditation music to sleep... This is a helluva lot more relaxing!
This program was always a welcome refuge from all the difficulty I endured in my youth. I have always loved mysteries and love writing. The radio mysteries are an inspiration and a pleasure to find again after all these years.
That door used to scare the crap out of me.
Hmm, I don't like the creaking door. I have no player on which it doesn't sound like fingernails on a chalkboard times 100. I try to skip it, it's so desperately annoying, deafening, and nothing like a door creaking. Why is it just me and whatever computer or CD player I listen to it on? I've never seen one complaint.
@@Carly8Corday I hate it too and skip it soon as it starts, doesnt sound like a creaky door at all and its LOUD. arg!
My dad just explain to me he is to watch something called inner sanctum or listen on the radio any shared the doors of the scare the shit out of them I wonder if this is the door
I like it haha
It still terrifies my dog
Good philosophies and observations about life that come from quality past literature used in this radio series.The series was of far better quality than it is given credit for.
Chill, dark nights...the time for ghost stories and fantasy!

These radio dramas have helped occupy my mind through the solitude of staying at home during the pandemic
I dropped Netflix cable and paid utubu prime because this is better than anything on tv
I been thinking about doing that.
I agree my friend.
Jeremy Scriver+
I listened too these every Saturday
Night at 11.00pm i was 13 yrs old
In 1977 when i first heard this
Now im 55 years old. How time flies
@@jalaneperry7643 I am 56. I can identify with your situation. I listened to them at night with my father and brother. What great memories.
Yes I totally agree! Good call.
Grew up listening late at night to these programs. The music drew me in every time and the next hour disappeared as I sat transfixed.
Thank you for posting this fine episode for all of us fans of CBSRMT to enjoy!

In the mid 70s, while living in the mountainous parts of Southwestern Virginia, I went out to the car in the evenings to tune in CBS Radio Mystery Theatre. The car's am radio was the only way to get reception. Late at night you could receive stations in New York, Chicago or Fort Wayne. Pleasant memories...
I stop TV enjoying this every night
brad lee Me too!!!!
@@brigittebeltran6701 Amen
Same
Isn't it great to listen to a story and engage your imagination? Much better for the mind than TV. Listen to audio dramas at night before I fall asleep. Sometimes fall asleep listening to them.
BBC channel has some good audio dramas too.
Thank you, sooo much for posting this old radio program. I enjoyed listening to it, as I cool down on a HOT day!!!
heatherlikey You are welcome.
I LOVE THE OLD TIME RADIO SHOWS AND THEY WERE ALREADY OLD TIME RADIO SHOWS WHEN I USED TO LISTEN TO THEM WHEN I WAS A KID !
Thanks Chilly,,,I always appreciate your great stories,,,great listens for a dark night!
If you listen carefully,these stories relax you and in my case put me to sleep. Thank you.I have so much trouble falling asleep. Good Night .
Definitely relaxing.
Francis Sternhagen! She reads Steven Kings "Dolores Claiborne" audio book.
It is one of the best readings I've ever listened to. She does the Maine accent perfectly, That book is captivating, so much better & more involved than the movie.
Law & Order and Sex and the City vet also 😉
Enjoyed her as Cliff Claven's Mom on Cheers a few times, and as the sheriff's wife in the film Misery ("There's that spice...").
Radio shows like Twilight Zone and others are such an amazing form of entertainment that most people are oblivious to. It's really tragic that works of art such as this go largely unnoticed by younger generations. Even some from my generation aren't aware these masterpieces even exist. If you've never listened to something like this, give it a shot. If you like to read and don't have time, this is a great substitute. These are perfect for going to sleep to, or listening to on long road trips, especially at night. It's amazing how your mind starts to form a movie in your mind. Love it!
Amen 👍🏼
Love these!! Takes me back to my childhood when I would listen with my Mom. Thank you! ❤️
You're welcome P Bustos.
If I can look for more people like that around my neighborhood I'd be all set. Everyone has to have that other crap. So I guess I'm listening to radio alone I'm not alone I'm with you guys
And we're with you!
Yup!
Chilly Sunshine
I started saving these radio mystery

So i can here them at my leasure
Thank you again
I can remember listening to these in the 70s. Why did they ever take this stuff off the radio

A blast from the past loved the music that went with these.
Soon as that door starts creaking, my eyes get all heavy..

Thank you chilly sunshine
For uploading these old radio mystery theatre episodes
From the 1970s
It takes me back to a time i miss
In my life as a kid
Chilly Sunshine you are the main reason i did not close my account
With you tube
I love these old time radio shows much better then what's on tv now days thanks so much for the upload really enjoyed listening.
I tell you what used to piss me off. when you had only AM radio back then. and it was hard to tune the station with these stories.
That Continuous BUZZ
And Static.
Lol
Yep. As soon as the sun went down local am radio stations started to fade out .It was frustrating
This I thought was from the 1940s I'm so surprised me and my mom missed these in the 70s she grew up with radio 🥰
Oh my gosh...this is what I've been looking for....I love ending my night to listen to these mystery stories...new subscriber.!!!👻👻👻

Boy does this bring back memories..
Allen Keller Good ones I hope.
***** Very good memories when I was younger and we didn't have TV only radio and we had to use our imagination.
+ChillySunshine LOL
"Imagination"?
Where can i download an app for that? ;)
imagination theater find at harrynile.com
I used to listen to this as a teenager great.
Absolutely loved it. Perfect length because I was able to listen to it on my way to work this Morning 😁💙
I really appreciate the descriptions, you must have put lots of work into these, thank you!
These type radio serials helped me learn about western people when we immigrated to america in 1952 , nobody we knew had a TV until the 70's , we listened every evening until the program went off the air in Detroit in the late 80' early 90's , by the late 90's all radio serials were off air , for sci fi fans " X Minus One " is a great pretty star trek space program that's pretty cool .
thank you
Thank you for this. I just stumbled across and I subscribed. I love to listen to stuff like this before bed. I get horrible migraines/clusters that affect my eyes and I can't view a tv or screen of any kind for days. This is a great way to take my mind away from everything.
Listen while walking dog and biking to work. So entertaining.
Chilly , can you get us ROD SERLING'S. ZERO HOUR RADIO STORIES ??? PLEASE ???? Wouldn't that be sooo cool ??? 💙💜💚💕😳🙏💛💚💜❤
hi its on u tube just search for it i have listen to them
This is so great. I never knew this was on the radio in the 70's. When I was a little kid in the early 50's, all we had was radio and all of those wonderful spooky shows. We got the tv in 1956 when I was 9. For sure I will be listening to more of these. Nothing on tv anymore.
These shows bring back memories of late night 1970s. Something scary about these old programs which still stands up today. I think these shows make you have to use your imagination. For example is EG Marshall opening his coffin when you hear that creaking or opening a old door walking into a dark room lit by candlelight?
I remember being at a slumber party in the late 60’s.. one night we watched “I saw what you did and I know who you are.” Pulling the sleeping bag over your face!!! Joan Crawford was in it.
@@grannyearth5496: I think I saw that same broadcast when I was a child. I had nightmares for a year. Old Joan was a creepy gal. Lol!
@@grannyearth5496 , no, the one I'm thinking about is where Joan is a axe murderer. Not sure of the name. It was in black and white is all I remember.
Deb Butcher “Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte!”
@@grannyearth5496 , It took me awhile, but I found the name of the film that scared me to death as a child. The film was "Strait Jacket" a black and white film made in 1964. Though I saw the television broadcast approximately 1969/70. Had nightmares for a year. Lol!
I love this kind of old castle kind of pictures or videos and ambience and everything those are gold yester years artists and creative thinkers were all great👌🏻
thank you so much for this rare material
Great video ChillySunshine and all the other ones....Great job!!
This is like the podcast of today! Thank you for posting.
Best bedtime stories.
Its my bedtime story.
I love it! I used to lie in bed in the dark listening to this!
Great memories back in 1977, when I was in the United States Marine Corps stationed at Camp LeJeune North Carolina.
Semper Fi Marine. My husband is 20+ year in the Corp. No other branch of service can match the USMC! Thank you for your service.
@@emilythompson3605 you are 100% correct. The old saying, "Once a Marine always a Marine." is so true. At 66 yrs old, I'm not as fast and not as lean but I'm still as mean a United States Marine. I served from 1973 to 1977. When did your husband serve? Thank him for his service and also to you for supporting him. Semper Fi and long live the Legend of Chesty Puller, Semper Fi
I hate the busybody wife that believes she has the right to know everything. However, I guess without this busybody there would be no story.
It’s a pretty tired stereotype but it helps move the plot along.
I use to hear this back in late 70s when i was a teen.
i miss these...thanks
Am I the only one that finds this soothing
these programs are the shit. plain simple entertaining
I almost forgot these. Staples of my radio filled youth. The tubes glowing in the big RCA High Fidelity wooden radio....
The most laid-back inactive police force that I've ever heard of. 🤣
Consider the title of this radio play.....THE RECLUSE. Some listeners may think it's referring 2 the deceased grandmother.....but, instead my opinion, it's the deceased father that was found in that room 6 years after he went missing. I mean, that's abt as much of a recluse as you can get to be.
From the first conversation with the wife "Tom" was the emotional recluse.😮
I love these shows
Wildly enough, I have NOT seen this one. Yay! I knew there had to be one or two I managed to skip.
Just drove 18hr these were great thank you.
thank you for sharing!
You're welcome.
I cant sleep at night so I decided to revisit an old show w. I still cant sleep
Love mystery theater
These are great. I remember them from high school days. if you'd like to hear something like this, try Claude Chabot's Theatre of the Fantastic on YT. One of them is at ruclips.net/video/tjMKxhE-elw/видео.html.
Thanks for posting
Hey Chillysunshine! Thanks so much for uploading this I'm going to check out your channel,and
I hope their's more. I'll sub for sure. These bring back great memories of me sneaking into my
folks car late at night,and tuning the radio until I found mystery theaters like this,and just letting my
imagination take over. Such nostalgia. Thank you! 😂
I love these classic radio stories! You might be interested in this one starring Joyce Randolph of “The Honeymooners,” called “A Trip to the Moon” ruclips.net/video/Hex2ltykNTM/видео.html plus a brand-new mystery “They Never Found a Body,” ruclips.net/video/7pfXLyAvS08/видео.html and two others listed under “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT. Just follow the links and enjoy! -Claud.
I love me some mystery classical movie , they leaves you to solve the problem in its, just listen to it........
This guy would do well to divorce his busybody wife who always has to have her nose in everything.
