Lights Out is definitely one of the best, no debate.

Finally!


(5 stars)

I have found the show that turned me on to the genre, Oxychloride X was my first and always wanted to find it again. Lights Out, hands down.

So good it's scary


(5 stars)

This is possibly the best OTR show I've ever heard. It's so abolutely unique. Listen to "Haunted Cell" or "Man in the Middle" or "He Dug it Up" and you can see how different each story is in the series. You will almost always be saying "no way!" at some point. There are sometimes "shows within shows" ("The Coffin in Studio B" or "The Author & the Thing") which is brilliant and ground breaking. Love it.

Lights out everybody


(5 stars)

This is a must hear. If you are a true fan of OTR then you have to hear Lights out. It is the all time best. The sound is clear so far, an the two best shows are Mr. Miggs, an The Scoop. Pure horrer at its best. So please LIGHTS OUT EVERYBODY!!

Great
