WMBD Channel 31 - Nightmare Theater - "Werewolf of London" (Opening, 1961)
Views: 1675
Not from Chicago, but close enough for jazz - here's a rarity indeed for this era, the opening for an edition of Nightmare Theater on WMBD Channel 31 in Peoria, IL, hosted by Milton Budd from its 1958 debut into later in the '60's. Here, he is introducing this night's presentation of the 1935 horror film "Werewolf of London."
This was from a 16mm film print saved by a former employee of WMBD-TV.

Views: 2339
This was on the same tape as the other bits, so I am calling it part 9 from a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else.

PM Magazine Chicago - "Rocky Horror" (1981)
Views: 2187
Here's a neat story on The Rocky Horror Picture Show musical that aired on PM Magazine Chicago featuring Mike Leiderman.
This is from the master 3/4" tape of the story, so it doesn't have the PM Magazine graphics that were shown on the off-air version.
Note: The audio on this is in stereo, with Leiderman's story voiceover on one channel and the music in another most of the time. (so if you're only hearing one or the other, that's the reason) I didn't g...
