Questionable "Influence" Removed
The following bullet point under the Influence category is not actually an influence by the radio drama Lights Out: Contrary to the 'clear' explanation of why this phrase was influenced by Lights Out, this expression describes the figurative turning off of stadium lights after a game has been successfully ended by the pitcher. --76.117.61.1 (talk) 05:32, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The expression "Lights Out" is often used by baseball commentators to characterize a pitcher (usually a closer) who strikes out the final batters of the game or otherwise closes the game in dominant fashion.

"Adhesive tape, stuck together and pulled apart, simulated the sound of a man's or woman's skin being ripped off. Pulling the leg off a frozen chicken gave the illusion of an arm being torn out of its socket. A raw egg dropped on a plate stood in for an eye being gouged; poured corn syrup for flowing blood; cleavered cabbages and cantaloupes for beheadings; snapped pencils and spareribs for broken fingers and bones. A lemon, laid on an anvil and smashed with a hammer, stood for a hand being crushed."

Hello. Just fyi, several of those episodes that are said to have been lost (chicken heart, inside-out fog, sub-basement) were still available on cassette (one episode per side) as of the late 80s. My small town Canadian library had them all and probably still does, knowing they've never really thrown anything out. Feel free to delete this but I just wanted you to know. They can probably be recovered and salvaged. - tangcameo — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.76.86.198 (talk) 00:11, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
