WMBD Channel 31 - Nightmare Theater - "Werewolf of London" (Opening, 1961)

Not from Chicago, but close enough for jazz - here's a rarity indeed for this era, the opening for an edition of Nightmare Theater on WMBD Channel 31 in Peoria, IL, hosted by Milton Budd from its 1958 debut into later in the '60's. Here, he is introducing this night's presentation of the 1935 horror film "Werewolf of London."

This was from a 16mm film print saved by a former employee of WMBD-TV.

"Welcome to tonight's meeting of the A.F. of L. (sinister laugh) . . . no, the Association for the Furtherance of Lycanthropy."

This aired on local Peoria TV on Friday, May 26th 1961.
