Lights Out Month Day 7: "Across the Gap"

Today's episode of Lights Out is "Across the Gap" from November 3, 1942. Three people find themselves transported back in time and face-to-face with a neanderthal. It turns out neanderthals aren't reasonable people, go figure.

I wrote about this story before on my blog where I discussed the theme of the episode and what each person represents. As I stated there, I don't think Arch Oboler's cast was quite right for the message he presented here, which is ultimately an anti-fascism message.

You can stream or download this episode from the Internet Archive here.
