Arch Oboler's THE SKEPTIC'S CLUB (1937)

Just as Arch Oboler was walking away from the NBC weekly half-hour horror program, Lights Out!, to devote time writing brief sketches for The Chase and Sunburn Hour and Rudy Vallee's program, he made multiple attempts to produce, direct and script his own horror anthology, as evident with a number of radio scripts which he recycled from Lights Out!

In this case, in September of 1937, he write a script for The Sceptics Club (that is how it is spelled on the front cover) as a pilot proposal for such a series. He recycled his "Black Zombie" radio script from Lights Out! for use on this new series. Since even the Lights Out! rendition does not exist in recorded form, and because Oboler would have used what he felt was his best script from the horror program for use in this proposal, it seemed prudent to san a copy into PDF and provide this on my blog in time for Halloween.

Enjoy!
