Lights Out: Money Money Money (1943) | Greed Horror Radio
The money is cursed. Not metaphorically. Lights Out presents a greed horror in which the desire for wealth brings its own supernatural punishment — a story about what people destroy in pursuit of money, and what that destruction calls into being. Originally broadcast March 30, 1943. Arch Oboler’s wartime morality tales hit harder than most. This recording is in the Public Domain in the United States.

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.
