Lights Out
was billed as the ultimate in horror. Never had such
sounds been heard on the air. Head rolled, bones were
crushed, people fell from great heights and splattered
wetly on pavement. Listeners agreed that is was the
scariest show of its time. One of the reasons it was
so effective is because of the sound effects. Lopped
cabbages became severed head, and real cow ribs were
broken with a pipe wrench to simulate breaking bones.
This episode, one of the more famous ones, is the tale
of a man whose wife turns into a human-sized cat.
