Another Oboler opus that doesn't circulate. In late '37 and early '38, the author was actually in California working on other projects and sending his LIGHTS OUT scripts back to Chicago for production there.

The penultimate Oboler script from his 1936-38 run. It's about a married couple named Jim and Marion, and you can sort of imagine Jim and Marian Jordan (Fibber McGee and Molly on another NBC Chicago series) playing the roles, which would have been an interesting example of "name" casting in 1938, a decade before Suspense starred them in "Backseat Driver."

Just a reminder that there are many scripts at the Joe Hehn Memorial Collection
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
The collection has a mix of audio and images. That link should show boxes for each page and the images of documents can be seen plainly.
There are scripts for Og, Son of Fire! It sounds funny but that was a pretty big franchise at the time, popularized by the Boy Scouts and their magazine Boys Life. There are scripts of Li'l Abner. It's likely that actor John Hodiak was in that short-lived series in Chicago.
There are some early Lights Out scripts.

It's interesting to compare this 1938 Oboler script to the surviving 1940s remake. For one thing, the two characters are slightly different. Instead of a Black guy named Dixie, there's a Frenchman named Frenchie. And the protagonist, Joe, may be Black. Check out this dialogue exchange from page 9:
FRENCHIE: I tell you, Joe, I am afraid!
JOE: Afraid of what? Gettin' out of here and gettin' to some place where we can live like white men?
It wouldn't surprise me if Oboler wrote the role of Joe for Joseph Richardson Jones, who was the one full-time Black actor-writer on the NBC Chicago staff in the late 1930s and reportedly played in numerous LIGHTS OUT episodes.
Another difference is that, unlike the almost silent monster in the remake, the script calls for grisly sound effects like:
THROUGH THE RUSTLING SOUND OF THE SPIDER'S LEGS WE HEAR A SORT OF RAPID GNASHING OF TEETH SOUND TO PAINT THE PICTURE OF THE HUGE SPIDER'S FANGS CLICKING TOGETHER AS HE PULLS HIMSELF CLOSER TO THE MAN PRESSED AGAINST THE BARS OF THE CAGE

This script for the 1948 season premiere of the Camel Screen Guild Players comes complete with a cast list and cigarette commercials. This is one of a number of Camel Screen Guild scripts that weren't included in the Tobacco Documents archive.

Another 1938 Oboler script that turned up in the 1940s series revival.
