Svengoolie/Son of Svengoolie - Assorted Clips Compilation (Part 1)

Views: 3476

Here is Part 1 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie (and in turn, the original 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. It's labeled "Son of Svengoolie - 1979 to 1983 - Clips" in a crude computer generated font - again, I did not produce any of this.

Here's a quick commercial for Dominicks Finer Foods, featuring their older logo style. Also features a switcher effect similar to one that WFLD used on Son of Svengoolie quite a bit, such as in this clip.

The Lost Snipets - "Take Turns & Share Re-Run" (A FuzzyMemories Re-Creation)

Views: 1680

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. Not sure when this segment was created but I went with the 1977 classic "patchwork" Snipets logo. Enjoy.

(Ok, this one is not really lost, since we already saw it here - but the quality is better since it was transferred from...

Son Of Svengoolie - "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" (Opening, 1980/1982)

Views: 1415

Here is something kind of unique - the opening for Son of Sven featuring the film "I Was A Teenage Werewolf". However, this opening was used twice - once for episode number 34 (the first time he showed the movie) and again for episode number 156 (the second time he showed it) with slight variation. You can identify the older footage by noticing Sven's bushier mustache which coincides with that era.

It looks like for episode 156 he just tacked on the beginning segment with the...

WLS Channel 7 - The 3:30 Movie - "Northwest Mounted Police" (Promo, 1972)

Views: 1598

Here's something very rare - a [sound modified] promo for an upcoming 3:30 Movie presentation (in two parts) of the 1940 film "Northwest Mounted Police" (directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard) on WLS Channel 7, from within the venerable afternoon movie showcase's early years.

Pretty neat find, showing different 3:30 Movie title graphics than we've seen before. Anyone remember this version? Could it have only been used for the...

Here's an excerpt of a commercial break during the Son of Svengoolie presentation of "Assignment Terror" on WFLD Channel 32.
