Views: 1886

Here's another promo for Son of Svengoolie on WFLD Channel 32 where this week the movie was "Evil of Frankenstein". This was episode #316 and aired on Saturday, August 24th 1985.

This promo aired on local Chicago TV a few days before Saturday, August 24th 1985.

Though it's from after that era, this clip gives you a...
