Please do. I'd love to see anything you've got. Clips of the show are pretty rare. I got this one from Crematia herself, and wanted to post it because I hadn't seen anything else on YouTube, and thought it would be a shame if more weren't exposed to her.

Definitely a top horror hostess for me.

Man, if I had it I surely would (and I wish I could). Apparently, the budget was so low that they had to tape over their previous week's show every time. If I come across it, though, I definitely will.

Wow...this takes me way back. Thank you for this post. I mean waaaaaay back.

I live in Joplin MO and this show was the SHIT! We got all of the great stuff out of that channel in those days...

Man,being from Louisville,I am so jealous that many cities all around ours,have done Creature Features/Fright Night-type horror movie shows,many times over the years.We tried it only ONCE( "Creature Features" ),on our first "independent" UHF station,WDRB( also Channel 41 ),from 1971-'75.But because they were new then,they barely had any budget to keep recordings,so absolutely NO shows were kept,not even a single clip!A couple of photos ,of the host on the set of the show,are all that's left.

OMG! I grew up in Manhattan,KS and remember watching Crematia on Saturday nite and Friday Fright Night on Friday nite. I loved all those creepy old movies-I still do.

Can you upload the Friday Fright Night opening? The skull always scared me, I used to cover my eyes whn it came on at 10pm.
