In 1952 scripts from the original Inner Sanctum began to be recorded in Australia, and about fifty of these shows were aired with the Inner Sanctum title, but a dispute over fees erupted and the show was discontinued. In 1958 the series returned, and to avoid any legal disputes it was renamed 'The Creaking Door.' New scripts were written by Australian writers, who effectively wrote variations of the American scripts. In 1964 The Creaking door re–emerged in South Africa, using original scripts which included stories with a heavier emphasis on the supernatural, with the host for this series being Peter Bloomfield.
