Vincent Price, Elvira movies, Abbot, & Costello..

Creature Double Feature...*sigh* I miss this stuff... Laying around for hours eatin' snack food. Soaking up all the goofy horror, the black, & white films being re-run for so many years..I'm sure this side of the horror sci-fi genre is remembered fondly by many.
Elvira is really a pretty, happy redhead IRL. She was cool. I'm not sure if anyone remembers Creature Double Feature, they ran Godzilla movies on the weekends.
I think much of this programming might've run under different names in different broadcast zones..
Who else wasted many rainy afternoons happily on these? I'm sure there's plenty I'm leaving out...

Here are a couple nostalgia links..

i remember elvira being a commic book before there were any elvira movies. the sexiest commic book that somehow escaped mccarthyist pseudomoral censorship.

i also remember movies (at the movie house) ALWAYS being double features, with a cartoon and a newsreal, and NO damd advertisements either.

all the lobby of our little movie house in colfax had was a popcorn machine, a soda fountain and a bunch of candies, some, like nonparells and little boxes of allgoods or good and plenty and licorice allsorts, unique to movie houses, and a few that weren't like hershey bars and tootsie rolls. at any rate they always kept the popcorn machine stocked and hot as long as the movies were going on.

How 'bout this dude...you've seen him as the reporter in Night of the Living Dead

http://myweb.wvnet.edu/e-gor/pittsburghhorrorhosts/chillymemorabillya.html


He ran for over 20 years:
Hers's a list of his movies starting in 1963:

The Brain from Planet Arous (3:00 pm Saturday afternoon, September 14, 1963)
The Giant Behemoth (11:10 pm Sunday night, September 15, 1963)
ETC.

He also hosted Studio Wrestling before Vince McMahon got it from his father:

Well, Bobb, I did STUDIO WRESTLING for 15 years; what a lot of people don't realize is the wrestling show they see now with Vince McMahon, I used to fly up to Philly every other week, and the station would permit it 'cause I was doing wrestling here (Pittsburgh). The promoter was Vince McMahon SENIOR, and I would do 2 shows, and they'd run 'em all over the country, like they do now. I did THAT for 7 years, plus my regular schedule of 25 hours of live TV a week; I did the MONEY MOVIE, I did the weather, I did a lot of live shows, but CHILLER and wrestling were definitely the most popular....http://myweb.wvnet.edu/e-gor/pittsburghhorrorhosts/bobbschillertheater.html

abot and costello, along with the three stooges, had been virtualy forgotten archival footage till the early days of pizza joints, which i don't know when they started doing this, but for a while nearly all ran black and white tapes from their movies and short features.

Great responses in here, thanks for the memories! ;)

Sammy Terry was another one to remember. http://www.horror-wood.com/sammy.htm

Although, I don't think he had much to do with wrestling. :)

[Dylanchick0113]

I don't have cable anymore either. I know you can get almost all of it on DVD now, though. :)
