i remember looking forward to watching this every weekwhen i was age 7-10.whole family actually sitting together and watching tv in one room. can you imagine?
Have to agree with vampire 911! I loved the movies they showed when I was a kid but oh Lord that image of Lon Channey Sr.!! (Still scares me to death and I'm in my 40's, had to scroll down the page before the end of the video 'cause I knew he was coming! LOL!)
Too bad ther are little or no video's of "Shock Theater" from the late 50"s, also produced in Chicago. I miss Marvin and his house band "The Dead Beats".
totally agree it scared me to death too..so to speak..my brother used to torment me at night with the theme song and i'd run out the room screaming.. had to watch it again as a grown up ..and still my heart was pounding..go figure
This show intro use to scare the hell out me,when i was a little kid growing up in Chicago.When i heard this on the tv,i would run out of the room(lol).I think this contributed to many nightmares of Dracula and Frankenstein chasing me.
If you lived in Chicago in the 60's Friday night everyone watched this and if it was summer you could hear the black and white in every house,and then Bert Weinman your tv ford man had a great car deal for you! :)
if You lived in chicago in the 60's as a kid this was the stuff,Everyone was into Creature Features on WGN Friday night.Warm summer nites you could almost hear every house that had their windows open playing the Intro.And then Bert Weinman your TV ford man had a showroom deal for ya! :)
17 WOW HOWLIN' THANX for this AWEsome TREASURE!!!! i LOVED growin' UP in chitown with creature features on wgn countless saturday nights!!!! :):):):) PERFECT GIFT SHIVERFEST HERE TOOO AAAHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! :):):):)
This show would scare the hell out of me, glad I wasn't a only child have 7 brothers,always someone around even though,I was always the last one to fall asleep. I really miss those days.
finally........wgn ruined me with the cubs but they made up for it with creature features. and now i know whodid the theme song........aaarrghhhh!!!!!
Oh, wow what WGN did in the 70's & 80'S. My mom would catch us watching us this(we turned it down so low). Really was a bummer then...so we had to watch "Love American Style" & laugh out the frustrations out by watching that show. She had good intentons. She was a good mom.
Is there anyone that can tell me how to download this to disc because i would like to have a copy in my movie collection. please thank you. Not really this one but the other one without the talking.
Oh wow! I watched Creature Feature during the 1970's! Creepy but great music and the picture of that monster at the end...always scared me! LOL Still I watched every week!
This is cool. Is this sound recording recent? The original C.F. intro music , of course , was the theme to "Experiment in Terror" by Henry Mancini (Same song heard here.). The Renfields , from Chicagoland , did a great version of this, and the original Svenghoulie theme ("Rumble" byLink Wray w/ screaming ladies dubbed in.).
this was the best loved it

@etp095 My brother and I were also terrified as children whenever we heard that theme and that hideous animated looking Phantom Of The Opera.
