Lights Out is a horror anthology created for radio by Wyllis Cooper and later continued by Arch Oboler. Its stories explore the uncanny and the macabre, turning ordinary settings and human fears into unsettling dramas. The series is known for its atmospheric approach to suspense and its willingness to venture into the supernatural and grotesque.

Each installment presents a self-contained tale, brought to life through actors, dialogue, sound effects, and music. Rather than relying on a continuing cast of characters, the program uses radio’s intimate soundscape to draw listeners into each story, letting voices and carefully shaped effects suggest what cannot be seen.

The result is eerie, theatrical listening: sometimes chilling, sometimes strange, and often built around a final twist or disturbing image. Lights Out suits listeners who enjoy classic radio horror and stories that let imagination supply the shadows.
