All Seymour had to do was handcuff himself to the phone and then try to use the hairpin to free himself. HA! As he couldn't get the cuffs to work... Seymour, in his inimitable style, ad-libs for a great ending. Of course, this footage never aired!
This is the only footage of Seymour (Larry Vincent) known to exist. Shared by a man, who wishes to remain anonymous, who had this clip on a tape of bloopers given to him by a tv station employee many years ago.
This footage came to light recently when, after reading 'Creatures of the Night That We Loved So Well'... the history of TV Horror Hosts of Southern California and learning that there was no known footage of Seymour, he contacted Douglas McEwan scriptwriter for Seymour to let him know about the existing footage. Douglas then contacted me and VOILA! Sinister Seymour is back!
I can't thank this man or Douglas enough for sharing this very rare and treasured footage. As short as it is... it's wonderful to see Seymour again!

I'm shocked people still use the fine-tuned universe argument. Though this counterargument is hardly new, it quite thoroughly blows the fine-tuned universe argument out of the water; and I thought it would be fun to give it the DarkMatter treatment.
Theists, when you make this argument, do you not realize that you're trampling all over your god's omnipotence? If the universe was made for life, with all the universe's dangers and inefficiencies, then to say that it could be no other way is to say your god couldn't do it any other way - and obviously, a way less hostile and more conducive to life would have been a better way.
A couple questions for creationists:
Was Adam flesh and bone? If you dropped him off a 100 foot cliff before he ate the fruit, would he have died? If lions weren't carnivorous before the fall of man, then please explain how a man eating a piece of fruit would cause the digestive systems of large cats to be permanently altered, and why we've never found the fossils of such cats. What is the purpose of an extinct species? Why did God condemn 99% of all species that have existed thus far to extinction? Why did he design them in the first place if He knew that they were going to be unsuccessful (though, humans aren't yet nearly as successful as some species that have survived for many millions of years before their extinction)?

From wiki: An offbeat children's television show, it premiered on KHJ channel 9 (Los Angeles, CA, USA) in 1966 and became an instant counter-culture hit. The show was created by Michael Dormer and Lee Teacher at the stylish plastic kitchen table of Dormer's Ocean Beach home. Their pal at Capitol Records, producer Fred Rice, had suggested that they cook up some cute monster characters for merchandising, but when he saw the first Shrimpenstein storyboard, the fuse was lit. A few days later, Rice, Teacher, and Dormer were pitching a Shrimpenstein television show to KHJ. Rice had already worked with Gene Moss and Jim Thurman, so Moss was tapped to play Dr. Von Schtick and Thurman to provide the voices. Shrimpenstein, affectionately known as "Shrimpy", was a miniature Frankenstein monster, "created" when jellybeans accidentally fell into the Monster Machine. The noted sculptor and puppet-meister, Wah Chang, brought Shrimpy to life. Dormer and Teacher wrote all the scripts and the theme song lyrics. Rice and some friends from Capitol Records supplied the music and Moss sang the theme song. Dormer also designed the sets and all the goofy machines. Milt Hoffman, the genius behind the first "Tonight Show" starring Steve Allen, mentored, produced, and directed.
