  "article": "[Pittsburgh Press, April 9, 1944—“New Horror Show Is Plain Scary”]\n“Usually most radio programs end happily with boy getting girl, or girl getting boy, or the villain\ngetting his just deserts. But what of a radio program where ALL the characters die at the end?\n“Or what of a program where one of the characters is able to remove his soul from his body and\nsend said soul floating through the barriers of time and space? Or—\n“Well, a program built around such ideas is actually going on the air next Wednesday. It will be\na real chiller-diller, with vampires, ghouls, and all the elements of the supernatural. It’s not a\nmystery show; there are no mysteries to be solved and easily explained. It’s plain downright\nhorror, reminiscent of the old and popular ‘Lights Out’ show.\n“As an example of the production problems involved in the show, take the one of sound.\nSupernatural stuff requires some supernatural sound effects. How would you get the exact sound\nof an electric drill cutting into a human skull? What would a voice sound like that came, not from\na human throat, but from a machine? What sounds do sharks make when they swim? KDKA’s\nsound engineers are getting a rather harassed look about them as they try to solve some of these\nsound problems.\n“In keeping with its theme, the program goes on the air at an hour when the kiddies and faint-\nhearted are safely in bed. Titled, ‘Out of This World,’ the new program starts over KDKA next\nWednesday at midnight. The scripts are by David Lewis; production by Lionel Poulton.”\nOUT OF THIS WORLD (KDKA, PITTSBURGH)\n[Wednesday—12:00 MIDNIGHT-12:30 AM]\nApril 12, 1944\nApril 19, 1944\nApril 26, 1944\nMay 3, 1944\nMay 10, 1944\nMay 17, 1944\nMay 24, 1944\nMay 31, 1944\nJune 7, 1944\nJune 14, 1944\nJune 21, 1944\nJune 28, 1944\nJuly 5, 1944\nJuly 12, 1944\nlast show??",
