Lights Out - 71 Episodes of the Old Time Radio program


This upload contains 71 episodes from the Old Time Radio show, Lights Out.  Although the show, devoted to tales of horror and the supernatural, aired in multiple series over a 14-year period, only a small portion of the episodes survive. The dates, episode numbers and titles are believed to be correct based on available information, but any corrections are welcome.   Initial upload: 4/24/2020 (55 episodes) 1st update: 6/26/2020 (4 episodes) 2nd update: 7/18/2021 (12 episodes) Disclaimer: By uploading these files, I make no claim to ownership or copyright. These recordings have been acquired from publicly available sources on the Internet, and my goal has been to put together a collection of every available episode where possible. I will add to these collections if I discover new episodes or if any new episodes become available. Additionally, while I tried to put together a collection that contains the best version of each episode that I could, there may be better copies of some recordings available from collectors and dealers, and I encourage you to reach out to them if you are so inclined. We OTR enthusiasts owe a huge debt to those who have worked tirelessly to discover, acquire and preserve these recordings. My role here has been to organize the files I have, verify the dates, episode numbers and titles as best I could from available sources, and correct and rename the files accordingly. My goal is to ensure these excellent artistic expressions of our past are preserved for this and all future generations, and I hope that by uploading all of my files here in a uniform and organized system, they will be easily accessible for all.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

Reviews

These are not all radio programs


Some of the really short programs here are actually cuts from a record album that Arch Oboler recorded in 1962 called "Drop Dead." The same thing was done with some of the older Lone Ranger programs: some of the earlier shows from the 1930s were "represented" by cuts from a record album made in 1948 explaining the origin of the masked rider of the plains. (Seems strange that Fred Foy is the announcer on those early shows, given his age.) On these Lights Out programs, anything under 10 minutes is definitely not a radio episode.
