WFLD Channel 32 - Son of Svengoolie - "3-D Movie Excerpt & On-Screen ID" (1982)

Views: 1254

Here's an excerpt from the Son of Svengoolie presentation of "Revenge of the Creature" in 3-D. This was show #158. (Also includes a WFLD 32 On-screen station ID)

Some have said that this scene was the most effective at conveying 3D. I'd have to agree - the fish swimming by in particular look like they're in the foreground even without the glasses on. :-)

WFLD Channel 32 - Son of Svengoolie - "Evil Of Frankenstein" - "Doug Hosts" (1985)

Views: 2140

Here's a compilation of all the "bits" that survived from a recording of Son of Svengoolie episode #316 featuring the movie "Evil of Frankenstein". (there wasn't a whole lot so I just decided to put it all in one)

The notable thing about this episode was that there's no Sven - Rich was absent for some reason and so Doug fills in as host.

Anyone know the real name of the song that Doug does a parody of? Is it by Alan Parsons Project?

Here's an interesting clip - the Illinois Lottery drawing on WGN Channel 9 where on this particular night, the balls did not drop into the mixing chamber for the "Cash 5" game and the winning numbers had to be selected off camera and given via an on-screen scroll about 20 minutes later, during the 7 O'Clock Movie airing of "Vertigo".

Featuring Merri Dee doing the drawing. Not sure who the voiceover is by, although it sounds a little like Joan Kohn. Also features supervision b...
