b"This is a series created by request for drivers wanting to here scary stories while they drive. Hope everyone wants to hear before they turn out the lights for bed. Lights Out! ran from 1934-39, producing some 274 original scripts (of which only around 140 are believed to still exist), though it was revived for short periods of time--using many recycled or updated scripts from the 1930s--off and on until 1947. The show was created by Willis Cooper who, the story goes, after a hard day's work and tired of listening to the same old late night radio dance band programs, decided to write his own supernatural and horror stories for his own amusement (though he frightened himself so much that sometimes he couldn't finish his own stories until the next morning)."
