One of the better achievements of radio drama was its horror and suspense programs. This week’s radio play is from one of the best known of the horror radio genre – Lights Out. The episode I am going to present is called “Mr. Maggs� from 1942. Though heavy on the melodrama, the play does have strong horrific elements. It was written by Lights Out director and chief writer, Arch Oboler (right).

This week, a short-lived, but interesting thriller adventure from the tales of the OSS!  Raymond Edward Johnson (right) was the announcer and the radio repertory group included many veteran radio actors. The series is based on a book about the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) the precursor to the CIA by Alastair MacBain and Corey Ford.
