Arch Oboler and Boris Karloff on Lights Out.

Lights Out is an old-time radio program devoted mostly to
horror and the supernatural.

Created by Wyllis Cooper and then eventually taken over by
Arch Oboler, versions of Lights Out aired on different networks,
at various times, from January 3, 1934 to the summer of 1947
and the series eventually made the transition to television.

Lights Out was one of the earliest radio horror programs,
predating Suspense and Inner Sanctum.

Best known to his many fans for one of his most memorable
screen incarnations—San Francisco Police Inspector “Dirty”
Harry Callahan—the actor and Oscar-winning filmmaker Clint
Eastwood is born on May 31, 1930, in San Francisco, California.

With his father, Eastwood wandered the West Coast as a boy
during the Depression. Then, after four years in the Army
Special Services, Eastwood went to Hollywood, where he got
his start in a string of B-movies.

For eight years, Eastwood played Rowdy Yates in the popular
TV Western series Rawhide, before emerging as a leading man
in a string of low-budget “spaghetti” Westerns directed by
Sergio Leone: Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More
(1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).
