Quiet Please – 1947-1949
Wyllis Cooper, the creator of Lights Out, wrote and directed this thriller series. The program was similar but not so graphic and the sound effects not quite so disturbing. These were not tales of people living happily ever after. Ernest Chappell told the tales and each week he played some “ordinary fellow who gets all bollixed up with the supernatural.”
