What movie and television projects has Arch Oboler been in?

Arch Oboler was primarily a writer and director, not an actor. He is most famous for his work in radio, particularly his pioneering science fiction and horror dramas. He did, however, work on some television projects as a writer and director:

* The Man Behind the Door (1949), an anthology series featuring suspense and mystery stories. Oboler was a producer and director on several episodes.

* Lights Out (1949), a revival of his popular radio show. Oboler directed some of the episodes.

* The Oboler Comedy Theatre (1951), a television series featuring comedic plays.

* The Arch Oboler's Plays (1954), an anthology series featuring plays written by Oboler.

* The Third Man (1959), a television adaptation of the popular film. Oboler was a writer and director on several episodes.

In terms of movies, Oboler only directed a handful:

* The Man From Planet X (1951), a science fiction film about an alien visitor.

* Bwana Devil (1952), a 3D adventure film about a hunter in Africa.

* The Beast With a Million Eyes (1955), a science fiction film about a giant alien insect.

He also wrote the script for The Twonky (1953), a science fiction film about a robot.

While Oboler's work in television and film is less prolific than his radio career, it's worth noting for its influence on the development of science fiction and suspense in these mediums.
