Mystery Playhouse was an AFRS (Armed Forces Radio Service) horror program broadcast overseas for soldiers during WWII. Peter Lorre provided tongue-in-cheek introductions to popular re-broadcasts of shows like The Whistler, Inner Sanctum Mysteries and others. The regular series themes and introductions were edited out (along with any commercials) for our boys in uniform who were serving the war effort overseas. To the casual listener, this series sounded like its own production, with Lorre the ringmaster.
