Today I'm featuring one of my personal favourite episodes of Lights Out. "The Spider" from May 18, 1943 concerns two men in the jungle trying to make money by capturing and selling rare insects. Then they see a very large spider and get some unhealthy ideas about capturing it. The last quarter of this play is a long, rambling stream-of-consciousness reading, the sort of writing Arch Oboler had mastered.
