If you like pure horror, Lights Out is the show for you! The sound effects on this series are probably the most gruesome ever heard on the radio! The sound of all the bones in a body being crushed after falling from a skyscraper might get your blood flowing and on one episode, you'll even hear human flesh being eaten!
