WFLD Channel 32 - Son of Svengoolie - "Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman" (Promo, 1980)
Views: 2792
Here's a rare old promo for Son of Svengoolie episode number 46, showing the movie, "Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman". This episode aired on Saturday, May 24th 1980 at 8pm.
This was before they had the Son of Svengoolie theme song (written by Doug Scharf) and instead were still using the old Jerry G. Bishop Svengoolie theme, "Rumble".
I knew I remembered Sven making a Rula Lenska reference!...
The Lost Snipets - "PeaScraper" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)
Views: 1055
I had some additional Snipets segments but they were transferred from 16mm film and did not have the opening and closing on them. So, I did a little editing job and added them in. This was an early one, circa 1975 (ok it's a minute long but not all of the early ones were short) I found something cool to add to this - the circa 1975 title for Snipets, during the Kaiser Broadcasting era! Notice it is a little different from the Field era one that took over in 1977. Enjoy.
WSNS Channel 44 - "Season's Greetings" (Bumper, 1978)
Views: 1133
Here's an animated "Season's Greetings" bumper from WSNS Channel 44, starting off with snowflakes falling, and where a pair of trees evolves into the "44" logo.
Directed and produced by Kurt Mendelsohn. Camerawork by Ron Vasser.
Kurt said about the making of this, "Took at least 10 passes to layer it all together. Connie made several vertical boards of snowflakes on black. We recorded Ron's camera slowly tilting up on the first one, irised low, then played i...
American Automobile Insurance Brokers - "Old Time Movies" (Commercial, 1979)
Views: 570
Here's a spot for American Automobile Insurance Brokers, with clips of old silent films of cars driving recklessly accompanied by "old-timey" music, and contrasting such scenes with the reality of millions of auto accidents a year. This ad advises that those without insurance shouldn't drive, and those seeking insurance should call CE6-5366. (CEntral-6 5366) (or in modern parlance, 236-5366)
Voiceover by ?? (sounds a bit like WBBM's Bob Carrington)

Harris Bank - Internal Promotional Film (Workprint) (Part 3, 1982)
Views: 3062
Here's the third and final part of something pretty neat and rare - a workprint of an internal promotional film from Harris Bank of Chicago, titled Honesty and Fair Dealing: An Introduction to the Harris Bank and the People Who Make It Work, produced for the company's 100th anniversary in 1982. (although maybe it's just the slightly washed-out and dirty work print, this almost seems like it could be from about 1977 - right down to the funky music. I do know that bank culture always se...
WFLD Channel 32 - That's Panthertainment (Ending, 1980)
Views: 955
Here's the ending credits for That's Panthertainment - a special on WFLD Channel 32 that was produced to promote the opening of The Revenge of the Pink Panther. It has some press junket interviews with the stars as well as outtakes and scenes from all of the Pink Panther movies.
There's a kind of abrupt cut during the credits - not sure if the tape was stopped, although I'd be surprised if it was.
Voiceover by Jim Barton.
This special aired three t...
