WFLD Channel 32 - Son of Svengoolie - "Terror Beneath The Sea" (Promo, 1980)

Views: 2838

Here's a rare old promo for Son of Svengoolie episode number 40, showing the movie, "Terror Beneath The Sea". This episode aired on Saturday, April 12th 1980 at 8pm.

This is the oldest off-air Sven footage we have so far, and definitely the oldest promo. This was even before they had the Son of Svengoolie theme song (written by Doug Scharf) and instead were still using the old Jerry G. Bishop Svengoolie theme, "Rumble".

This promo aired on local Chicago TV the 2...

Here's a promo for the 10-13-80 airing of the Star-Spangled Movie presentation of the 1966 film "Dimension 5" on WSNS TV-44. Previous to this we saw a few other glimpses of this bumper movie show - maybe it always aired at 3:30pm on weekdays? Could this help definitively date those other clips?

WLS Channel 7 - Sunday Night Movie - "To Trap A Spy" (Brief Bumper Excerpts, 1978)

Views: 1884

Here are some very brief opening, ending, and bumper excerpts from the Sunday Night Movie airing of "To Trap A Spy" on WLS Channel 7 that I edited together. We can see it uses the same swirling-star motif as used on the 3:30 Movie and Late Night Movie shows of the period, but this one has a different title that can be briefly glimpsed at t...

Here's a cool promo for the WLS 3:30 Movie presentation of "The Vampires", which was shown on Tuesday, June 21st 1977.

Views: 1422

Here's one of the few glimpses yet found of a show that a lot of people remember and have requested footage of - Monster Rally Movie! This aired on WSNS Channel 44 and reportedly had it's own host - a mysterious figure in a creepy costume. Here we get to see another partial commercial bumper from the show - the only type of footage (other than the movie itself) known to exist currently. The movie this night was the very weird 1973 film Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural.
