Welcome to another look at the radio horror program
Lights Out! "It Happened" (May 11, 1938) represents the series and author Arch Oboler at its peak. A young woman in Paris flees a kidnapper into the sewers -- and meets a man who invites her to join his business. He carves jewelry out of human bones.
Lights Out had a reputation for how it employed sound effects to ghoulish ends and the noises in this episode are certainly in that tradition!
A friend of mine enjoyed this so much that he participated in a filmed version of the story, using the audio from the radio program for all the dialogue and sound effects. It was an interesting effect!
