Inner Sanctum Mysteries - "Death for Sale"

Our first chilling tale tonight is from the legendary 'Inner Sanctum Mysteries' series. In 'Death for Sale,' we are joined by the iconic Boris Karloff, who brings his unique gravitas to this spine-tingling story.

In 'Death for Sale,' a quaint antique shop conceals more than just forgotten treasures. When a series of bizarre deaths occurs after customers purchase items from the store, suspicions arise, and the shop's owner finds himself entangled in a web of horror and suspicion. Join us as we unravel the mysteries hidden within the shop's shadowy corners.
