WKBS Channel 48 - Son Of Svengoolie - "The Crawling Hand" (Promo, 1982?)

Views: 4287

Here's a rare promo for Son of Svengoolie on one of the Field Communications affiliates - Philadelphia's WKBS Channel 48.

One interesting thing to note - Son of Sven never showed "The Crawling Hand" on the Chicago version, so this tells us that other movies were used at least once. I wonder if he did any movie related gags for this one or if it was just recycled bits from other shows?

Not sure when this aired but 1982 seems likely.
