WGN Channel 9 - Creature Features - "The Wolf Man" [Closing Re-Creation] (1970-1976)

Views: 5710

Here is a re-creation (not original) of the closing of the legendary Creature Features program on WGN Channel 9.

It's a shame that no authentic off-...

Views: 1124

Here's something pretty rare - some footage from WFLD Channel 32's Movie for a Saturday Afternoon featuring the Kaiser-era 32 logo, so this must have dated to at least early 1977 (Previous to this we only had a tiny excerpt of this bumper). Most of it was taped over unfortunately, but this is what remains. This last segment, with complete commercial break and ending sequence, includes:
