Lights Out Month Day 8: "Come to the Bank"

Today I'm looking at the Lights Out episode "Come to the Bank" from November 17, 1942. It has a pretty simple yet far-out premise: a man wills himself to walk through a solid wall. Unfortunately, now he's trapped inside the wall. But it's not really his story, it's the story of his assistant trying desperately to rescue him and growing more and more frantic as the story progresses. This is Virginia Gregg at her best with the sort of stream of consciousness writing which Arch Oboler did so well!

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

This episode was also adapted into comic book format, which I wrote about here!
