My mother told me this was her favorite show. Everyone would gather around and all the lights had to be out, because of WWII there were air raid wardens and they would go block to block yelling “Lights Out” - neighbors and friends coming over to listen to LIGHTS OUT.
Anyone here recall Murray Hill records? They issued various shows; The Shadow, comedy, Welles's/Wells's The War Of The World, and horror tales (The Great Radio Horror Shows, ( a 3 LP anthology) etc.
Twilight Zone listeners take note! I love a good, eerie story just like everybody. You might be interested in this NEW audio drama I produced, “The Odd Lot” and two other stories listed under “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT.

@OTR HALLOWEENHOLIDAZE Yrs they are. Do you remeber an episode where these 3 ladies stumbled into a graveyard and one accidently stepped on the grave i believe and out of nowhere had a rock hurled at her head and was killed. Than eventually the other two were killed in similar fashion while hiding out in a building in a nearby town waiting out a snowstorm scared to death. I cant remember what series it was a show made during early to mid 40s
OTR HALLOWEENHOLIDAZE I LOVE the vintage commercials within the broadcasts! It really gives you a flavor of popular culture & mindset back then! Listening to these is like having a time machine!

I mean they're watching movies like "Terrifier", I'm more than certain media sensibilities have hardened considerably. Hell, having beds pushed together was unallowed on television for quite a while. Listening to Lights Out, I find most of it pretty quaint, especially Spider. The concept of a large spider and... that's it, being a terrifying creature is laughable today. Adorable.
Was great - interesting to hear the racist WWII comments at the end. It was that time and place and how they thought back then. Thankfully/Hopefully we've grown past that
Come on, stop the virtue signally; it was WAR TIME. For better or worse, right or wrong, they were the enemy. And no, I don't want to be speaking Japanese over here nor do I want to live under Naziism. So if I could help my troops by purchasing warbonds like my grandparents did, they I would have done that too. Interestingly, he left out Marxism and Communism which of course is totally okay. Hence, here we are in 2021.
@@Bigbadwhitecracker Virtue signaling requires being disingenous to score brownie points with people. That's impossible to do online, nobody knows anybody well enough in comment sections to get any points-- we can't judge their character. They were the enemy in war, that doesn't mean you need to dehumanize them. Though, that's what the government did its best to do, as was de facto policy. There's no shame in buying warbonds of course. As per usual, the first step in empathizing is reversing the situation. How would you like it if the Japanese felt and spoke that way about you? I'm worried your answer would be, "Oh I don't care, they're Japanese!" It's important to remember that people from other countries are people too. The ideas, feelings, desires, and goals you have, others have too. Even if they're from another country, speak another language, and even if you never meet them. People are alike all over, at our core. I guarantee there were more than a few thousand Japanese soldiers thinking that exact same way about Americans. In fact, they DID feel that way about the Chinese, and acted accordingly during their war with them. Do a little digging on Nanking, and you'll find the byproduct of dehumanization. Do unto others as you want done unto yourself. If there's a better path, pursue it. The USA took the easy road during WWII.

Can try and do some searching. Will let you know.
@@OTRHALLOWEENHOLIDAZE No need for that. Just wondering if it rang a bell. I believe i heard it on your channel around last Halloween
The episode is called "Poltergeist".
Jeremy bear the old time radio play was called Poltergeist in the lights out radio plays.
@@johnchase3097 Thank you John. That episode was burned into my imagination when listening. A gem 💎. Lights Out is a wonderful series!

How odd to hear that info after the story....
Yeah, it's not like you were scared enough already!

Sarah Brown Cool!

I was advised to turn off the radio (video) within the first minute. So I did. To scary, I guess?

I hope we get past this type of behavior and learn from the past. It needs to end.
