Creature Features - Castle Of Evil Part 10

Saturday night. 8:30PM. WNEW-TV Channel 5 in the New York metropolitan area. April 17th, 1971. I adjusted my rabbit ear antennae on my portable TV unit in my bedroom to watch my favorite TV show CREATURE FEATURES. That night they showed a really cool monster flick called CASTLE OF EVIL. That 1966 film starred a beefy looking Scott Brady, Virginia Mayo and Sci-Fi stalwart Hugh Marlow, plus a real scary looking Robot. What more could anyone ask?!! Here is my re-creation of that evenings presentation, complete with a recreation of the CREATURE FEATURES Intro, classic commercials for products of the day, and even a surprise or two. Special thanks go out to Saturday8pm, Tapthat2012, Shawnster65 and everyone else who encouraged me on this project. So sit back and enjoy the halcyon days of yesteryear and watch CREATURE FEATURES CASTLE OF EVIL.

Electronic man got blasted by the convenient laser cannon! Cool! You have stuff I've never seen before.  Thanks for yor efforts, very much appreciated!

One final observation, Crow. I can't prove it. But, that front hall stairway certainly bears a striking resemblance to the main foyer of Collinwood (from the original DARK SHADOWS)! I wonder if Frank Lyon leased it from Dan Curtis Productions?

I echo his sentiments, Crow. WNEW Channel 5 had some great programs, back when my family's aerial-based system could only pick it up as one of four clear channels. Unfortunately, my part of Connecticut has been monopolistically censored by the cable-TV companies, since the mid-1980's! So, I no longer get any telecasts from either that station or WPIX-11. :-(

How about a daikaiju flick from the 1960-70's? Like the original GAMERA THE INVINCIBLE? Or, X FROM OUTER SPACE?

I wonder if Crow will allow polls for the next movie ... I say "Horror Hotel"!

Despite the 10PM message, I finished this movie with the commercials at exactly 9:54 PM. So, does that mean I get to stay up for 6 more minutes? LOL

Thank you for the movie. I do remember this one being on CF back in the day, and what a fun movie it was. A nice trip down memory lane with the toy commercials too.We have to do it again sometime real soon! God bless!
