(1936-1947)
One of the most famous - and infamous - shows of all time, created by Willis Cooper ( of Quiet, Please) in 1934, and passed on to Arch Oboler in 1936, the series went through several incarnations and reincarnations throughout its long life, lasting until 1947.
The exact number of episodes is a nebulous issue, since Oboler frequently renamed episodes several times over for rebroadcast, expanded the length of some of Cooper's shows, and freely moved shows back and forth between Lights Out and his other projects (Everyman's Theater, Arch Oboler's Plays, The Devil and Mr. O) with re-edited intros, making it very difficult to identify episode origins with any degree of certainty.
To make matters worse, many shows have been lost over the years. Episodes vary in length from 15 min to 60 min.
