This is a collection of old time radio episodes of Lights Out from 1936 to 1942. The quality varies for obvious reasons but I tried to filter the rougher episode and avoided including repeated stories.
I hope this collection of eerie tales can provide some moments of levity in these dark times. Stay safe and stay inside if you can everyone.

The best thing about listening to these is you're getting a great chilling story while you can mosey about and get things done instead of sitting in front of the idiot box without the mundanity and uniformity of an e-book. Best of both worlds.

@xmobius0ne Год назад

Been a fan of radio drama since I first discovered it almost 15 years ago and its wonderful seeing so many people, especially the younger ones who never grew up with radio shows, discover these treasures.

@nihilioellipsis 8 месяцев назад

I am also pleased that younger people are into it. I grew up listening to them on the radio in the 70s. When these younger people encounter them, they have no trouble recognizing the quality. The storytelling is so good. I think those younger people are going to have an easier time discriminating between good and bad movies and TV also. There is lots of TV and movies that are far inferior to great radio drama.

I think it was Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) who said, "I love it when someone turns on the radio (in our times it would be the television), because it reminds me to go read a book". These are well written and the acting is on point. Better than that really?ality crap on tv.

I agree, they are intense. Arch Obler had a knack for creating grisly stories. Other shows in this genre typically depended on ghosts, but Obler focused on the cruelty of one person against another.

Although Suspense and Inner Sanctum are more recognized, IMO Light's Out was the Gold Standard for horror on the radio. As grim and grisly as these are, I've read that the earliest Cooper episode were REALLY extreme. Supposedly only one episode from the Wyllis Cooper period exists...does anyone know where to find it or has heard it?

Oh bread was a nickel just kidding. Rant over.

@bonniebrock5109 2 года назад

The almost last story reminds me of the live TV Analog play and also the longer movie called 'Patterns'. Great play/movies. It's a story about an executive employee who worked for decades for the same company almost from the beginning of it who then is treated so badly emotionally he ends up dying of a heart attack at work. His name is Mr Briggs and the evil boss is named Mr Ramsey instead. It's a white collar story of how businesses/employers will treat loyal long term older employees like dirt just so they will quit as they bring on younger ones to replace them.
