CBS Radio Mystery Theater
Them!
CBS Radio Mystery Theater brings the suspense and atmosphere of classic radio drama to a new story each broadcast. Hosted by E. G. Marshall, the series frames its mysteries with his calm, distinctive introductions and closing reflections, guiding listeners into tales of danger, deception, and the uncanny.
Each episode unfolds through dialogue, sound effects, and music rather than narration alone. The stories range across crime, psychological suspense, science fiction, and supernatural mystery, using the intimate sound of radio to make a creaking door, a sudden silence, or a voice in the dark feel immediate. The ensemble performances give the scenes a theatrical energy while leaving room for the listener’s imagination.
The result is a polished, atmospheric listening experience: part mystery, part suspense drama, and part invitation to follow clues by ear. Marshall’s steady presence gives the program a familiar frame, while the changing stories keep each broadcast open to a different kind of unease.
