Views: 4511
Just unearthed some more vintage Sven - Here's the song and commercial break from Son of Svengoolie episode #122 showing the original "Dracula" on WFLD Channel 32.

(There are earlier bits, but those are from studio masters, or are just promos - not from an off-air episode.) It's too bad more of this stuff hasn't turned up yet.
Unfortunately, the person who recorded the show did it in ...

Here's a great feature on Rich Koz and the Son of Svengoolie that aired on PM Magazine Chicago featuring Mike Leiderman. Has a lot of really great footage, even of some famous Berwyn landmarks. (having grown up in the area this footage is priceless to me)
So many great things in this piece it's almost hard to count - love the footage of old WFLD in Marina City - I don't know anywhere else where you can see what it used to look like. I like the Kaiser-era logo hanging down an...
