Views: 14963
Here is a re-creation (not original) of the opening of the legendary Creature Features program on WGN Channel 9. Normally I don't approve of re-creations, but since this is such an important piece of Chicago TV history, and since such scant authentic material exists for this program (only off-air audio recordings and a "gag" type promo that was made for an old WGN Sales Department presentation) - I figured this was worth an exception.
It's a shame that no authentic off-...

Here's Part 4, the last part, of The Ginny Tiu Show which aired on WCIU Channel 26.
