"Lights Out" was an early television series based on the eerie dramatizations of the popular 1930s radio show. The broadcasts made writer and director Arch Oboler a household name synonymous with the macabre. It was brought to network television between 1949 and 1952. A precursor to shows like "Twilight Zone," "Night Gallery" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "Lights Out" is a chilling remnant of old-fashioned ghost story-telling.
Beware This Woman: A poltergeist plagues a helpless woman who happens to share a cursed name with a seventeenth century witch.
Gray Reminder: A widower receives regular mail from his domineering - and long dead - former wife, much to the dismay of his new bride.
The Devil in Glencairn: A bagpiper strikes an unholy bargain with the devil to settle a long-standing debt with his miserly landlord.
The Upstairs Floor: After his beloved wife dies, a tormented man tries to rebuild his life - down to the last detail - with devastating results.
