Views: 2511

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

What a freaky looking movie. This would have given me nightmares even if I watched it at 9am instead of 3:30pm.

Voiceover by Fred Kasper(?)

This promo aired on local Chicago TV Saturday, June 18th 1977 at a little before 10pm!

Here's a promo for the 10-6-80 airing of The Star-Spangled Movie presentation of the 1966 film "Adventures of Captain Fabian" 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?

Ok, this one is really nuts. Here is the opening to what was a WLS Channel 7 Late Night Movie presentation of "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" - however, they screwed up and played the opening for the 3:30 Movie - but it's a different opening than we've seen so far!

Here is the opening few minutes of the movie "Rodan" on WGN Channel 9, presented as an untitled movie show.

Commercial break is cut out unfortunately (with just a snippet mentioning "Olympia Dodge"), but it does include another vintage WGN Station ID at the beginning - anyone know the voiceover announcer?

I left the first few minutes of the movie before the tape ran out, just for the heck of it. :-)
