Some Famous Films of the 1940s

"1935 Lights Out

The thirties were dreary times for many Americans and sometimes radio reflected that with its popularity of horror drama. One that began on this day became one of the most popular. Lights Out was a thriller! Starting in Chicago under the auspices of Wyllis Cooper, who later would create Quiet, Please, this series sustained new heights in intensity. Coming from the imaginative mind of Cooper the show tried to use sound effects to achieve the horror we all can feel in our worst nightmares. Broadcast on NBC Red, it was truly "the witching hour" while the show was heard. Cooper soon left, but was replaced by the equally brilliant Arch Oboler, who took sound effects to new levels with the sound of crushing skulls, knife stabs, and other horrible ways to die. Oboler used effective dramatic pause to achieve the goose bumps on his listener's arms. Episodes such as "Mr. Maggs" and "Chicken Heart" are memorable. The series continued off and on until 1947. It briefly moved to television in the early fifties. "
