CBS Radio Mystery Theater
The Old Ones Are Hard to Kill
CBS Radio Mystery Theater brings the suspense and atmosphere of a classic radio play to stories of mystery, crime, and the uncanny. Hosted by E. G. Marshall, the series frames its dramas with a calm, distinctive presence, guiding listeners into tales where ordinary lives can take unsettling turns.
Each broadcast is presented as a self-contained audio drama, using dialogue, narration, music, and sound effects to build its world without relying on visuals. The stories range across suspense, supernatural mystery, psychological tension, and crime, with performers creating characters and scenes through voice alone.
The result is an intimate, theatrical listening experience: measured introductions give way to scenes shaped by atmosphere and uncertainty, while the sound design helps make each setting vivid. It suits listeners who enjoy classic mystery storytelling and the imaginative craft of radio drama.
