 Lights out was a chilling thirty-minute drama series created by Wyllis Cooper and began in 1934 as a regional program featuring tales of suspense and horror. Old timers who listened to the show live will remember it's reputation for having the most grisly sound effects ever heard on radio, including the sounds of heads rolling, bones being crushed, people falling from great heights and splattering wetly on the pavement, garrottings, chokings, heads split by cleavers and the worst of all, the sound of human flesh being eaten! When announcer Arch Oboler ordered "Lights Out!" at the beginning of each episode, listeners were expected to turn the lights out in their homes and listen to the the program in the dark, usually with only the glow of the radio tubes to illuminate the terrifying night. My grandfather used to listen to this show in the dark and says it scared him out of his wits! As bone chilling as Lights Out was back then, it will still make your skin cawl, even today!
