I'm looking for any information about the Haunting Hour. Where was it produced and the names of any of the actors

You've asked for a tough one.
I found this on the Internet Archive:

Broadcast Data :
Nineteen-Hundred & Forty-Four through Nineteen-Hundred & Forty-Six
Thirty Minutes
Available ONLY in Transcribed Syndication. There were NO credentials. Therefore,
ALL CASTS and ALL PRODUCTION, WRITING, DIRECTING staff are unknown to this day.
There are Twenty-Eight episodes availble here. However, it is believed that over FORTY episodes still exist.

Thanks for fielding that one bmj2k.  I don't care for these hit and run questions sometimes...

Happy to do it. I always like to do a (tiny) bit of research. Any show that originated from WOR (here in my home town of NYC, where WOR still broadcasts) gets a bit of a leg up. Kind of like cheering for the home team, and it was also where my favorite show The Shadow came from. A show like The Whistler is interesting because it was a great show that was mainly broadcast on the West coast and was fairly unknown on this side of the country during the original run. Just little bits of trivia, really, but I enjoy them.

About the Haunting Hour, here's a show log (in .txt format):

About the actors, etc., it was largely an unknown show.
All I can dig up is that one Haunting Hour regular was Barry Kroeger, who was also an Inner Sanctum alumni.
