Lights Out
Lights Outside was an extremely popular American radio method, an early illustration of a network show devoted mostly to the supernatural and dread, pre dating Suspense and Inner Sanctum. Versions of lightsout aired occasionally, on networks, from January 1934 and the series made the transition.
In 1946, NBC Television attracted Lights outside to TV at a set of four specials, air and produced by Fred Coe, that also donated three of the scripts. NBC asked Cooper to create the script for its premiere,"First Person Singular", that can be told entirely from the perspective of an undercover murderer who murdered his obnoxious wife and winds up being implemented. Variety gave this first episode a rave review ("definitely among the very most breathtaking shows yet seen on a television screen"), however, Lights outdid not become a routine NBC-TV series until 1949.
