Haunted Studio was a Canadian music variety television series which aired on CBC Television in 1954.

Premise

The series was recorded at the same studio as used for The Big Revue, except that it was reduced to a minimalist stage devoid of backdrops or furniture except for a few basic seats or props.

Regular performers included Esther Ghan (vocals), Jerry Hicks (theremin) and a vocal group featuring The Esquires with two female vocalists. Jack Kane led the show's music while Don Gillies served as choreographer.[1]

Scheduling

This half-hour series was broadcast on Thursdays at 10:30 p.m. (Eastern) from 22 July to 2 September 1954. A series pilot was produced in late 1953 featuring Art Hallman (singer), Budd Knapp (actor) and Margo McKinnon (singer).
