Description: Blink, and you'll miss it!

Here is an extreme rarity - a painfully small excerpt from the opening of WFLD Channel 32's Creature Feature program. This was the program that was replaced by Son of Svengoolie in Summer of 1979.

If you pause the video at the right spot you can see a fairly clear shot of the opening title. You can make out a smokey graveyard type atmosphere with a black crow or raven perched on a tree branch to the right and a coffin in the foreground. On top of this is the Creature Feature logo and WFLD TV, along with the older, Kaiser Broadcasting style "32" logo.

No idea what the music was for WFLD's Creature Feature. You can hear an extremely small snippet of it in this clip and the other one. If anyone remembers what the music was, feel free to comment.

Too bad the person that recorded this Universal movie, "The Black Cat" was so dilligent in removing the commercial breaks - because this is the only footage currently known to exist of WFLD's Creature Feature opening. :-(

If you ever find any more, let me know. ;-)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, July 13th 1979 at 8pm!
