- A man gathers a group of specialists and reads them an ancient letter written by one of his ancestors about a man ordering a special coffin.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater (a.k.a. Radio Mystery Theater and Mystery Theater, sometimes abbreviated as CBSRMT) is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed.
The format was similar to that of classic old time radio shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler, in that the episodes were introduced by host E. G. Marshall who provided pithy wisdom and commentary throughout. Unlike the hosts of those earlier programs, Marshall is fully mortal, merely someone whose heightened insight and erudition plunge the listener into the world of the macabre (in a manner similar to that of "The Man in Black" on yet another old time radio program, Suspense).

I love the irony of the undertaker saying he was a God fearing man who believes in the Bible so he couldn't possibly believe it's someone back from the dead!!
Very cozy and spooky. Thanks from a sweltering hot California.
I Like. Old Radio Shows. Enjoy. Very much ☺️👍😊
Excellent story. 👍💞
ordering one's own coffin is common now days. My grandparents made their arrangements decades before my grandmother died. When she died, the family was surprised at how ornate her coffin was as she was otherwise a woman of simple taste. I guess she wanted to go out in style.
I used to listen to these same stories back in the late 1970's. I'm glad I found these again after 40 years.
Thanks for listening! You can find more CBS Radio Mystery Shows in our playlist: CBSRMT.ChestertonRadio.com with more added daily!
This one and "the Sending" are real good old-fashioned horror. You will never forget either of them. My family would gather around the fireplace and my Grandfather would always start off the stories. His Irish Brogue would always start with this story is very very old it now only lives in the Mists of Time. When his story was told and the next story would begin amidst the wind blowing the snow around the house trying to get in. Next would be an audio of classic Ghost stories with sound effects. If it were a weekend or Holiday we would have full books. If it were autumn the Huge Thunderstorms would roll in and in our sleeping bags we'd be listening to ghost story after ghost story. We were a family of readers we rarely watched tv. No matter how old we got when it was a weekend at our Grandparents no one ever missed a single one. We raised our family the same. Now they do the same. What is it they call entertainment today? The family itself is under attack. If family and parents do not stand up and fight for their own children protect them. The world is going to get very ugly very fast. What is the one thing worth fighting for? You want to take your children to a drag queen show? Think about what is happening and then ask why are they allowing Armed Antifa to stand guard with the guns they want to take from us,and also take the only way we have to protect our families. God judges Nations as well as people. What will people say then? 76% of the US is against all this look at the only poll that stayed the same for a year. Is the country going in the right direction. Last year and this year 76% of the US say NO IT IS NOT. That's how you know we are being lied to ABOUT the democrats being ahead. They lie on all of it. Look up the poll yourselves. Chuck Todd opened his show 2 weeks ago showing the poll for both years. Telling all they have lost the American people. They have and all they do is lie. What kind of future will you have your children?
I used to listen to this on WBBM as a kid every night I could. Not sure which seasons that would have been. Never heard this one, and never realized at the time the rotating cast of stars that came and went each week. Thank you for sharing this and making it available to hear.
Thanks for listening! I too listened to CBSRMT on WBBM in Chicago. We have more in our playlist here and are adding more:

Thanks again 👍👍👍👍☝
Listening from illinois
Hi from Virginia. I’ve been listening to RMT for 40 years on and off.
Great entertainment for a wet afternoon in SW Scotland, but didn't quite get the ending - where did the ghost/satans violinist end up, how did the undertaker end up with the coffin?
Sounds like the perfect place to cozy up and listen to spooky stories
Wonderful
Interesting
Cheers ✌🏽
A new show, to listen to 😎👌
Hot evening in Seattle Washington
Hahaha
Splendid..... 😅
Spooky - Keir was a little bland, but it still held appeal. Thanks!
Keir Dullea! A name so strange that auto-correct will never accept it. My best memory of Keir is The Starlost, a science fiction TV show so horrible that it developed a cult following.
Hot night in Britain 🇬🇧🤝
I've mixed feelings about this story. It was rather confusing and convoluted and had a dissatisfying ending.
Whenever I hear Keir Dullea, I can't help thinking; "Open the pod bay doors, HAL". Then the dulcet voice of Douglas Rain;
"I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that".
It's one of the few stories where the listener decides what to believe
@@joannemazurek9075 Agreed - very much open to interpretation.
Not many of us would follow someone (carrying a coffin) into a graveyard. I'd be running in the opposite direction - very quickly.
@@NoosaHeads esp in the era before electric lighting! The other day on a dark 4th of July pre-fireworks-night I was thinking how much more frightening the world was before light pollution clouded the night sky, and before we had the ability to flick a switch and dispel darkness in spaces great and small. No wonder literature was so much more fanciful back then and that people believed some of the things they did!

TV is so overrated. (Oldtime) Radio Rules. I love the Lord, and this is a guiltless pleasure.
I bet even he likes to listen to the Radio Mystery Theatre
Cute dog 👍🏼❤️🙏🏼
@@janetcw9808 Thank You That's Annie (Yorkie) my sister's service dog.
You're just old. No disrespect.
Hot day in Tupelo Mississippi
silly story... superb sound effects...
Hasn't this been plagiarised from
'The Alice Cooper Story' ?
