Series Description:

MYSTERY IN THE AIR was a Summer series consisting of 13 30-minute
mystery / horror shows.  The series was hosted by Mr. Peter Lorre
who also played the title role in a few of the shows.  The shows
were well done.  Fans of Peter Lorre in particular and mystery and
horror in general will want at least a few for their collection.


Log Comments:

Of the 13 shows in the series, only the last eight appear to have
survived.  The titles for the missing shows are not known at this
time and are therefore shown with "... title not known ..." in the
title field.
