Lights Out - "It Happened" 05/11/38 (HQ) Old Time Radio/Horror

- Lights Out debuted in 1934 and was radio's premier horror series created by writer/director Wyllis Cooper, who later scripted Boris Karloff's 1939 classic Son of Frankenstein. Wyllis Cooper was a innovative radio writer and worked on other notable shows such as The Empire Builders, Quiet Please, Campbell's Playhouse, The Army Hour, and Whitehall 1212. Lights Out truly set the bar high for other radio dramas in the 1930's due to its gore and strangeness. It was one of the first old time radio shows that developed the medium of radio with distinct sound effects and dramas intended to be heard.
Adhesive tape, stuck together and pulled apart, simulated the sound of a man's or woman's skin being ripped off. Pulling the leg off a frozen chicken gave the illusion of an arm being torn out of its socket. A raw egg dropped on a plate stood in for an eye being gouged; poured corn syrup for flowing blood; cleavered cabbages and cantalopes for beheadings; snapped pencils and spareribs for broken fingers and bones. The sound of a hand crushed? A lemon, laid on an anvil, smashed with a hammer.
Cooper was succeeded by Arch Oboler, one of radio's greatest dramatic talents. Oboler had scripted the Mae West's infamous "Garden of Eden" sketch and brought a new level of psychological horror to radio in scripts like "Cat Wife," "Sub-Basement," and "Chicken Heart." Though most famous for his film roles, Karloff was an accomplished radio performer who hosted his own series Boris Karloff's Treasure Chest and narrated Radio Reader's Digest broadcasts during the final two decades of his life.

Fantastic, I go to sleep every night listening to shows, just wonderful. I use to listen all the time as a child with my parents, it was family time after dinner and just before bed. When you got older you could listen while in bed and as long as you wanted.

I’m 15 but I still just love radio shows. This one was good
The air is suddenly crisply cool with dramatic sunsets…now is the time for ghost stores and fantasy! Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT AND a radio fantasy comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles.

Good that we have a new generation to appreciate it.
These truly are timeless!:) They stimulate the visual imagination. There are Bluetooth speakers that look just like the old timey radios. It really enhances the experience.
Who cares how old someone is that listens to this?
@@Indy_Bendy New generations appreciating older media promotes a connection between the current and the past, and is good for cultural awareness and media literacy
I listen to these while at dialysis , usually I fall asleep listening to music but this show was quite creepy . Wow 1934 almost 90 years ago . I can imagine the people back then listening to this . Lights Out is a awesome radio show and one of my favorites .
These old time radio horror programs are better than the Creepy Pastas of today.
I cannot get enough of them. Mystery Theater is very good too
Wow people that was broadcast 81 yrs ago and it was so well written and acted and everyone associated with it will be just bones themselves!!! Fantastic story this is a must!!

Wow, this was an extraordinarily gruesome story. Thank you.
i love lightes out i wish i could of lived back then when radio shows were the coolest thing around
Marcus Kurtz -I’m sure glad I heard these OTR shows. Born 1936, so I heard about all of them, drama, comedy as well. I prefer my own vision of the happenings.
Yea, but you would be like in your 90s now I prefer it this way! Lol we are a special class of people that can appreciate old radio n don't need all the trappings of today's entertainment.
Still cool.
That's a scary story. It's pretty cool when something from your grandparent's time freaks you out.

That young women's desire for fun and adventure cost her dearly.
A tale for today.
I'm 57 years old and scared to death right now. Who is the actress? AMAZING performance, beautifully scripted. Truly a masterpiece.
Mercedes McCambridge.

Most of these vintage radio programs are kind of tame by today's standards but this particular story is still disturbingly good....

That was brilliantly done! .. really horrible, and as a claustrophobic my idea of Hell to be trapped down there for years!
***** I go from thinking she deserves a lesson to feeling so sorry for her!
***** We're a couple of softies! ;-)
Timothy Morrison yes indeed! ;-) .. but that is a Hell whilst still alive!
Best yet, and I've listened to a lot of radio theater over the years!
Really more disturbing than scary, but fantastic episode. The scariest episode of Lights Out is without a doubt Poltergeist.

Theater of the mind. Non better.
The human imagination. Limitless.
This scared the hell of me this is the scariest Radio show that i have ever heard.
You should listen to "sorry wrong number" I think that's the title, with Agnes Moorehead, the grandmother from bewitched, she was a very well known radio talent in the 30's and 40's. She did that script several times on the radio... It's one of my favorites... Arch Obeler produced lights out and also had phenomenal scripts... I just can't remember my favorite titles from this show...
Great stuff. 🐱

I am NEVER going to visit Paris again!
Either am I. I have a rich dad too.
Absolutely brilliant and extraordinary performances!!! But who are the actors? They are extremely talented. PLEASE name them!!! Thank you!
I don't know about the others but Jean is MERCEDES McCAMBRIDGE😀🙌
I believe she also did the voice of the demon in the Exorcist..
Thank you!!!🎃
I found this one to be very unsettling. The ending not what I expected. I had hoped the girl would escape, learning a valuable lesson. Kind of a freak out at the end.
This was a very good episode. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
this is the one where that stupid girls is in paris and she ends up sort of being kidnapped by some guy , she runs away from him and ends up in the sewers with some other crazy guy who makes sculptures out of human bones , i love this one
Lesson: Don't leave a tour group.
There isn't any 20 yr. old who wouldn't feel the same way. Hopefully they wouldn't be as rude though. LOL
Ha! I agree that all 20 year olds would rather be in a fun nightclub than on a boring tour but still in a way she might have had a real bad past which is why she was shipped off to this girls school...who knows what the real Jean Taylor was like..
So original and sisnister... :)
theatre of the mind!!!😱😱
I'm certain that the mind is indeed the medium of the best story, and it's only fiction , pray tell!
Mercedes McCambridge's voice four decades before The Exorcist!
@bill bixby Yes...McCambridge plays the girl, and she also plays the "old woman" at 28:27 .

Please post more!! It's been 5yrs😢😢😢
She sounds like dorthy from the wizard of oz
A bad wizard of oz
I could definitely see a young Judy in this part but she still wouldn't be as good as whoever this young lady is. She's extraordinary.
I always said that Mercedes McCambridge sounded like Judy Garland ...with attitude.
love it
Rreally awesome episode ! the script and voice acting is fantastic, and this was done in 1934 ! ?
'38.
Even as a young woman Mercades could do the raspy voice.😊
horrible I loved it
I don’t think I heard this one, but I’m game.
No wonder Mercades later did horror movies.😊😮
I love these, but they're usually pretty hokey. This one though is really twisted!
Can you count how many times the two women in the beginning repeat themselves?
sab ko lights out pasand hain.
This strongly reminds me of a radio play I heard many years ago about a devil worshipping priest who commands his gravedigger slave to exhume the corpse of a child
If only I could find it
What happens to the woman at the end? This story is creepy and claustrophobia inducing
anyone know who plays Sam Edwards?
Man that guy sounded like my father-in-law r i p.

Can you count how many times the two women repeat themselves in the first few minutes of this?
2024 Olympics😊.
i didnt like this one i shit the bed and my bird lay in it.
benny woo Your comment wasn't even funny, it was just vile and childish.What makes you say pathetic things like this?
The guy just waiting around one street in Paris for years hoping the daughter of the partner that screwed him over would come along was a goofy stretch and just more bad writing from Oboler.
He could feasibly have been keeping tabs on her
@@PotterPossum1989 Oboler’s bad writing in other episodes tells me he never thought that deeply about it.
Did I just pee in bed? 😕
I am NEVER going to visit Paris again!
