Views: 3610

Here's the opening for the WLS Late Night Movie presentation of "A Woman Rebels".

However, the music is not the same - it is instead the music that is used for the updated WLS 3:00 Movie. ...

Views: 2712

Here's something pretty rare - an (unfortunately) partial bumper for the Monster Rally Movie - this one being the first glimpse of one that we've seen with the spooky voiceover announcer - "...on 44..."

Also includes a snippet of a couple "Community...

Here, at long last, is an opening to the WLS Channel 7 3:00 Movie! This one is for the campy, explotative "Women in Chains" (boy, this was really good wholesome afternoon fun, eh?) This must have been around the time that "Prisoner: Cell Block H" was popular. :-)
