WFLD Channel 32 - Monstrous Movie - "Calling Dr. Death" (Ending, 1982)

Here is the ending (preceded by the tail end of a commercial break featuring an ad for the AAA Chicago Motor Club) for the WFLD Channel 32 Monstrous Movie presentation of "Calling Dr. Death" [1943].

The ending only consists of a voiceover promo for what was coming up next - Son of Svengoolie featuring, "Die, Monster, Die!".

Previous to this we saw another example of the revised Monstrous Movie graphics from 1982 (including a commercial break), as well as an example (the only one known to exist so far) of the original version used in 1981 and before.

One more trivia note - the artwork used for Monstrous Movie was created/compiled by Cathy Mustari, WFLD Art Director, who first used the pictures when creating the opening for Freaky Films (A.K.A., "Freaky Film of the Week") on WLS Channel 7 (where Ms. Mustari worked in the Art Department before moving on to WFLD).

Music used is by Dick Jacobs - from the album "Themes From Horror Movies", and the specific track is "This Island Earth" (thanks to Dan Siciliano for the info)

The announcer is Jim Barton.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, October 23rd 1982.
