 Universal's Inner Sanctum series (anthology... or whatever) is similar to The Whistler in that each film had the same star... but in a different role.

 Yes, the Whistler was a series, and was sold that way to exhibitors. As mentioned, "Inner Sanctum" was another example of that kind of thing. Wasn't there also a "Mystery Club" of some sort that tied in with novels?

 I remember seeing a lot of old mystery books with a "Crime Club Selection" logo, and I think the name was attached to some films -- maybe just the adaptations of those books.

 Yeah, Crime Club is an existing thread which discusses these Universal films of the late thirties.

I'll bring it to the top so you can take a look at it!!
