Lights Out is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Lights Out treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. Lights Out was an extremely popular American old-time radio program, an early example of a network series devoted mostly to horror and the supernatural, predating Suspense and Inner Sanctum. Versions of Lights Out aired on different networks, at various times, from January 1934 to the summer of 1947 and the series eventually made the transition to television. In 1946, NBC Television brought Lights Out to TV in a series of four specials, broadcast live and produced by Fred Coe, who also contributed three of the scripts. Jack La Rue leads a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. The series ran for 3 seasons (1949–1972), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The rules of Lights Out's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.
