In honor of Halloween I'm going to share some of my favorite Horror shows from radios golden age...From shows like The Inner Sanctum Mysteries, Mysterious Traveler, Suspense, Quiet Please, Mercury Theater, Hall of Fantasy and the greatest Horror show of all-time, Lights Out!!! (See more shows under Listening to OTR coming in the next 2 weeks!)
Lights Out was created in 1935 by the amazing Willis Cooper for NBC. Cooper created, wrote and produced the show and win instant praise for the writing sadly Cooper left the show in 1936 and handed over to the man who become a legend in radio writing, Arch Obler. Obler took over all Coopers duties and filled his shoes and then some. Obler created some of the most unique and memorable horror stories in entertainment history. The show was known for excellent writing and amazing sound effects.
Obler would leave the show 10 years later and recreate it in a new show in the 1970's called Devil and Mr. O.
Cooper would return to radio with a new series called Quiet please which had great horror shows of its own.
So listen to this Light's Out classic The Dark considered one of the best in the shows history!!!....and listen to it in the dark if you dare
