This
horror
series
featured
probably
the most
famous
opening in
the
history of
radio.
After the
greeting,
“Good
Evening…..Creep,”
a door
squeaked
slowly
open and
the
listener
was
greeted by
the host,
a gruesome
joke and
then the
introduction
to the
story for
the
evening.
The
stories
were
entirely
fictitious,
highly
improbable
and were a
strange
combination
of horror
and humor.
After the
allocated
thirty-minutes,
the host
made
another
joke about
the plot
and then
the door
squeaked
shut.
