CLIMAX MYSTERY THEATER

1954 -1958


These 15 episodes are extremely rare in as much as so many shows were broadcast live and most have been lost forever.
Offered in this rare set are a variety of tales of suspense, mystery, horror, drama and yes..even a great comedy
starring Red Skelton in one of his early performances in an episode that was so well received it was later made
into a full length movie also starring Red Skelton.

AND....as an added bonus these episodes all include the original Chrysler commercials. Sit back and enjoy a great
look at our past. Due to the rare nature of this series and because most came from old kinescopes some episodes
will be below my usual standards of quality. But I feal they should be part of this rare set because they are truly
representative of what live TV was all about back in the 50's.
