Son Of Svengoolie - "Tombstone Bumper" (1984)

Views: 2184

Here's one of the bumpers they used on Son of Svengoolie featuring a ghostly image of Tombstone. This particular one came at the end of episode #258 when he aired "House of Frankenstein".

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, July 7th 1984.
