WSNS Channel 44 - Thing Theatre - "Wrestling Women Vs. The Aztec Mummy" (Bumper Excerpt, 1980)
Views: 3227
Here's another super-rare glimpse at the Thing Theatre movie program on WSNS Channel 44 - a partial bumper, during an airing of "Wrestling Women Vs. The Aztec Mummy" - an example of one of the low budget Mexican horror films produced during the late-50s and 60s. Son Of Svengoolie - "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" (Opening, 1980/1982)
Views: 1415 Here is something kind of unique - the opening for Son of Sven featuring the film "I Was A Teenage Werewolf". However, this opening was used twice - once for episode number 34 (the first time he showed the movie) and again for episode number 156 (the second time he showed it) with slight variation. You can identify the older footage by noticing Sven's bushier mustache which coincides with that era.
We can see the same logo font style as featured in the opening of the show, with a color scheme more reminiscent of WSNS'
It looks like for episode 156 he just tacked on the beginning segment with the...

The phone number is easy to follow - and spell, as long as you don't get confused by the dollar signs for the s'... $-A-V-I-N-G-$ (S-A-V-I-N-G-S)
History Note: This company, with the same phone number was previously known as Spelson Insurance Agency, Inc. However, they had changed their phone n...

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Larry Lujack" (1972)
Views: 2610
Here's a segment from Screaming Yellow Theater - the original Svengoolie, which aired on WFLD Channel 32 from 1970-1973. Svengoolie was played by Jerry G. Bishop.
This Break #2 from an unknown episode number features Larry Lujack - "Superjock" disc jockey from (at the time) WLS-AM 890 radio.
I'm thinking that "SYT #1" as the clapboard person says, refers to the fact that it's Movie #1. (2 movies a night were shown for most of the run of SYT)
