Old Time Radio Shows Writer and Producer Arch Oboler

Arch Oboler is perhaps better known for his radio script career, and hails from the windy city Chicago. He was an old-time radio shows script writer, producer, director, and even novelist. As such, his career spanned from the early days of radio through to the silver screen of film and also television. Born in 1909, Oboler grew up in Chicago, IL. He kick started his writing career from a very young age, as early as high school he was selling radio scripts. He gained greater exposure with his possibly controversial script portrayal of the Adam and Eve story (starring Mae West and Don Ameche).

A majority of the listeners tuning in to the show were obviously upset with the content of the show, and perhaps to add insult to injury, the show aired on Sundays and made reference to the Bible in light-hearted ways. Old radio shows such as these caused quite an upset as a result. Mae West was even as far as banned from radio for many years because of her involvement in the show. Though the sketch would be considered very mild by today's standards, it was very controversial for its time. When the fury died down, Oboler was offered the show 'Lights Out', a series that featured scary stories for the brave listener. In 1939 he was given the show 'Arch Oboler's Plays' where he continued to share horror stories across the air waves.

Oboler reached out to wider audiences through his film and theatre work. He starred in films such as Escape, On Our Merry Way, and Gangway for Tomorrow. Twonky was a popular film that was directed by Oboler. His political activism grew significantly in the 1940s. Returning to script writing, he wrote many shows and productions with an anti-nazi theme as the core focus. Hollywood stars even wanted to star in the productions, and were happy to do so for union scale pay, as they supported the anti-nazi movement.

Oboler diversified his script writing through his writing of the novel 'House on Fire', and the Broadway production 'Night of the Auk'. His performances were always perfect, and this added to his growing popularity and reputation, plus he brought in his interests of science fiction and horror into the mix. While many would have commented his work as gory, that did not stop the general consensus from enjoying what he offered, and so he had millions of fans. At his peak, Arch Oboler and particularly his works, lasted a long time. It was somewhat controversial and always creatively delivered. The 1930s was the start of what would be a rise in popularity and fame to support his career. As far as old time radio goes, it was Oboler's 'Lights Out' that outlived him, and can still be heard in syndication across old time radio stations. While he did pass away on 19th March, 1987, his work has certainly outlived him. He is a giant in old time radio shows and fans continue to love the terrifying tales he spun.
