Monster Movie Matinee Montage.mov

The scariest were the "Jack the Ripper" movies.

I love that laugh! mwhahaha! Everything about this show gave me the creeps as a kid in Syracuse. Is the haunted house model still around? At the Onondaga Historical Museum perhaps??

Hi DavidTyler1. This is Vic Trescott from the Outpost. This was my favorite show in Syracuse. Never missed it.

I believe the music is from one of the Hammer Films' Dracula movies with Christopher Lee if I recall correctly.

This is the theme from "This Island Earth"

Growing up in Geneva, NY, this was a Saturday ritual. I'd scare myself silly. The cool thing about being a kid with an imagination was that I couldn't recognize the opening smokey mansion as a miniature set. To me it was real. I was always fascinated by Epal's forehead scar and eyepatch. I think I can even remember taking rings out of my mother's jewelery box and playing Dr. Witty. I later suspected he was played by anchorman Ron Curtis. I might be wrong, but he did have the deep voice for it.

I did some theater with Alan Milair (Dr. E. Nick Witty) and he's just a fabulous individual. A great guy. That jacket sleeve you see is a smoking jacket his wife gave him. It's a deep red in person. Also - this isn't really the intro to Monster Movie Matinee... Although similar, this was the follow up show on Cable 13. Alan, if you're reading this, Riff still remembers you fondly.

This is so awesome! Too bad they don't do these types of shows anymore. Thankfully us younger folks can still see this classic on DVD!

This is classic! I grew up in Fayetteville. Epal was the weatherman for channel 3 WSYR before it became WSTM. Thanks for posting these videos!

I was born and raised in Horseheads. I recall watching Monster Movie Matinee every Saturday afternoon. It's the show that intorduced me to all of the Universal Horror greats, and the 1950's B-Movoes about gian ants, and shrinking men. I only wish I had had the forethought of using my Dad's reel to reel tape recorder to tape the audio from the intro. All of the audio I find online now is pretty bad quality. Anyone have any of it to share? Thanks for this memory.
