Marshall, who introduced the episodes with his signature phrases like “The sound of suspense” and “The fear you can hear,” it definitely brought chills to its listeners. Each episode began and ended with the creaking of a crypt door and Marshall's ominous "Come in!... Welcome." The series delved into mystery, the supernatural, and macabre themes, delivering 1,399 original episodes—quite the collection!
