Another hard-to-find one bites the dust! Here's the opening for The Late Movie on WGN Channel 9 presenting "Three Faces West". This is the long-running opening which used unique "kaleidoscope" artwork and a soundtrack of "Take Five" by Dave Brubek. This opening was used for many years throughout the 1970's.

Also includes a "Last Farewell" Station ID at the beginning (Annouced by Jerry Golden) and the first commercial spot before the movie began - Bert Weinman - Your TV Ford ...

Screaming Yellow Theater (Svengoolie) - "Show #5 - Ask Svengoolie" (1972)

Views: 722

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.

With no clapboard segments, we can only guess that this was Break #5 (from "Show #5") - although on these master tapes sometimes they didn't save all of the breaks, so this could be Break #6 or Break #7 for all we know. This one features Ask Svengoolie with a question from the "Scare Mail" bag for that week.

Son Of Svengoolie - "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" (Opening, 1980/1982)

Views: 1419

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.

It looks like for episode 156 he just tacked on the beginning segment with the...
