CBS Radio Mystery Theater
The Murders in the Rue Morgue
CBS Radio Mystery Theater brings the suspense and atmosphere of a classic radio play to stories of mystery, crime, and the uncanny. Each installment is presented as a self-contained drama, inviting listeners to follow a puzzle or unsettling situation through dialogue, sound, and performance.
The program uses a full dramatic cast and radio sound effects rather than a single narrator. Its stories draw on familiar mystery and suspense traditions, with scenes unfolding through conversation and carefully shaped audio cues. The title here points to Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” a landmark detective story centered on a baffling crime and the reasoning used to solve it.
The result is an intimate, theatrical listening experience: a mystery built for the imagination, where voices and sound create the setting and tension. It suits listeners who enjoy classic detective fiction and suspenseful storytelling in the distinctive form of a radio drama.
