    Story Behind the Song
    We were pleased to strike a satisfying balance between the 1940 Inner Sanctum adaptation and Guy de Maupassant's original short story (an English translation was used). Claude McAlister, the "host" of the piece, and nicely done by Digby Christian, is our invention, but certainly tips a hat to "Raymond", the original host, and to many "monster movie" hosts over the years. Of particular interest, Scot Crisp's Horla, including the low-voiced "minions" SFX, made use of some multi-tracking but no post-recording effects whatsoever.
