Here's the ending segment of Show #150 of Son of Svengoolie on WFLD Channel 32. The movie aired on this day was the 1957 film "The Monolith Monsters," starring Grant Williams, Lola Albright and Les Tremayne. Includes:

Sven in his coffin advising that next week, SoS will be preempted by White Sox baseball, and he will be back with two shows two weeks from now - "Frankenstein" (1931) on Friday, June 25th at 8pm (a "Friday Night Fright, Sven Summer Special"), and "Planet of Blood" (1966 - listed on IMDb as "Queen of Blood") on Saturday, June 26th at 3pm. Sven then thanks the viewers for "making us a success," leading one off-screen voice to proclaim "We hate you!" and throw a rubber chicken at him; this is followed by the audio of Stan Freberg's "Good night, everybody!" and "Hooray for Hollywood" fanfare from his first CBS Radio show of July 14th 1957.

Shot of behind-the-scenes crew and pan of backstage, with parody of The Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun" playing in the background - "Here Comes the Son (of Svengoolie)" and Sven shouting out the crew members' names as the credits roll (set in Eremitage and Harry Bold):
