Lights Out: Organ (1937) | Haunted Music Horror Radio
The music knows things the player does not. Lights Out presents a haunting tale of a pipe organ whose sound is not entirely of this world — a story of obsession and the terrible entity living within the pipes. Originally broadcast May 12, 1937. Few Lights Out episodes use audio as effectively as this one. The organ is not background. It is the horror.

About Lights Out
Lights Out was one of radio’s first and most daring horror programs, premiering on NBC Radio in 1934. Created by Wyllis Cooper and later shaped by Arch Oboler, the show ran until 1947 and became infamous for episodes so disturbing NBC received thousands of complaints — and renewed it anyway. The sound design pushed the medium to its absolute limits.
