Title: I found Chiller Theater! Post by: RCMerchant on May 26, 2007, 06:19:34 PM ok...I know this isn't really a topic,but I just HAD to share this! Awhile back,we had a thread going about things that scared us when young...well,I mentioned an old Creature Feature type show,with Vampira from Plan 9 and the Colassal Man picking up a truck...scared the s**t outta me as young. Well...I FOUND IT!

I was only about 6 or 7. Title: Re: I found Chiller Theater! Post by: Scott on May 26, 2007, 09:54:48 PM This was a great program in the 70's and I use to watch it regularly on WPIX from New York. Here is the later intro to the show. How old are you RCMerchant? So you moved from New York to L.A.? That's quite a move. :thumbup:

Title: Re: I found Chiller Theater! Post by: Scott on May 27, 2007, 10:59:02 AM I know Dennis is from L.A., but for some reason I thought you where also :question:. I'll be 43 in September and grew up in the Elmira/Corning area of New York State near the Finger Lakes.
My parents got divorced when I was about 12 and we moved to Pennsylvania and later everyone moved to South Jersey. I want to visit the Sleeping Bear Dunes National area of Northwestern Michigan and Mackinac Island some time.

Post by: Scott on May 27, 2007, 12:35:53 PM The Strand name was somekind of national franchise theater chain. Here in South Jersey in Ocean City we also have a Strand Theater on the Boardwalk. Capital Theaters were another one around the country.

Post by: Scott on May 27, 2007, 07:59:14 PM Wow, forgot all about the BANANA SPLIT SHOW. Hanna Barbara sound effects. Awesome. :thumbup:
I've probably posted all the KROFT SHOWS from Saturday mornings, but I make just one that some forget. [youtube=425,350]http://youtube.com/watch?v=xvUvC2dDKWA Title: Re: I found Chiller Theater!

Post by: Allhallowsday on May 29, 2007, 10:23:16 PM Here's some more TV memories I dug up... CRAZY EDDIE!! Boy, that all went bad! :thumbdown: Still makes me laugh to see Crazy Eddie's mouthpiece. Karma. I'm getting a soft spot for you, Bela. This guy drives me nuts...! I saw him on TV when I stayed with Gramma in the Bronx in 1980.... TV saterday morning...pre Cartoon Network. For movie fans of the New York area in the 70's and early 80's you may remember some of these movie intros. They'll bring tears to your eyes. I remember all of those. I think I even remember Stella from Phila Della though she might be a bit later (spent many a night at the jersey shore, many towns get Phillie...)Thanks for sharing all those great memories, I applaud you! Wow, forgot all about the BANANA SPLIT SHOW. Hanna Barbara sound effects. Awesome. :thumbup: I remember "THE BUGALOOS" but not that Martha Raye starred! :bouncegiggle: Frankly, I was too old for that show so what was I doing watching it? I've probably posted all the KROFT SHOWS from Saturday mornings, but I make just one that some forget. In honor of the passing of Charles Nelson Reilly, here's his contribution to the Weird World of Sid & Marty Krofft: I applaud you, too; I saw a picture of Charles Nelson Reilly earlier today from "LIDSVILLE" in the green makeup and was perplexed and now I recall! Butch Patrick! I completely forgot about Butch "Eddie Munster" Patrick being in this. Forget about that wimpy Disney crap: Six Flags theme parks were a much cooler heaven for kids in the 70's. Does anybody remember the CHRISTMAS greeting ads the TV stations used to show? There was one on WNEW channel 5 (I think) out of NY with moving displays of elves and figures in huge store front windows and a familiar but as yet unidentified xmas tune...? |
