Today's episode of Lights Out is an Arch Oboler classic; "Prelude to Murder" (June 15, 1943) provides access to the protagonist's thoughts, leading to long stream-of-consciousness dialogue, the type of which Oboler was a master of writing. This episode is particularly good because as the audience can hear the protagonist's thoughts, they're contrasted against what is spoken aloud. In this case, the show being what it is, the protagonist is a jealous husband who is slowly making up his mind to committ murder.
