Son Of Svengoolie - "Tombstone Bumper" (1984)

Views: 2198

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".

Most of the time Sven would tell a joke in a voiceover during these bumpers, but since this one was right after the end credits of the movie it just plays "Son's Theme" before cutting to the commercial break.
