Arch Oboler was a horror radio pioneer and producer of the first 3D movie "Bwana Jungle". Oboler generated much attention with his radio scripts, particularly the horror series' Lights Out', and his work in radio remains the outstanding period of his career. His special talent for terror has frightened the wits out of three generations of Americans. Praised as one of broadcasting's top talents, he is regarded today as a key innovator of radio drama. Oboler's personality and ego were larger than life. Radio historian John Dunning wrote, "Few people were ambivalent when it came to Arch Oboler. He was one of those intense personalities who are liked and disliked with equal fire." The collection includes two books & 1 LP record by Arch Oboler: Ivory Tower and Other Radio Plays.
