WFLD Channel 32 - Son of Svengoolie - "The 3-D Movie" (Opening, 1982)

Views: 2309

Here's the open from Son of Svengoolie episode Number 158 - the famous 3-D Movie - Revenge of the Creature! A great (slightly disappointing) moment in Chicago Broadcasting History! ;-)

I included the first couple minutes of the movie so you could see a little bit of the 3D effect - not so much during the titles, but as the movie starts you can see even without the glasses how the picture looks a little different. Not really sure how this was supposed to work with a black and...

WFLD Channel 32 - Six O'Clock Movie - "The FBI Story" (Technical Difficulties, 1981)

Views: 2925

Here's a technical difficulties moment during the WFLD Channel 32 Six O'Clock Movie presentation of "The FBI Story" - featuring a strange slide.

Perhaps Telefrank can tell us what's going on here? Why is the slide so dark and mysterious looking? Why/when would this ever be used?

Who knows how long this technical difficulties moment lasted? Unfortunately someone was impatient and paused the recording and restarted it when the film was fixed. :-)

Here is the open for WFLD Channel 32's Monstrous Movie. This is an earlier version (featuring a chilling, maniacal laugh) than the one previously posted from 1982.
