Thanks to the internet
and Omaha World-Herald, the newspaper's online edition (Omaha.com)
, a lot of fans were able to post their feelings about the new CREATURE
FEATURE, and share them with the entire world. These messages appeared
below the original article online.
I can't wait! I hope they
show the Abbott and Costello movies, the original Karloff movies,
etc. I remember watching the show as a kid and I am looking forward
to watching the show again with my kids. I hope the new San Guinary
is not too goofy. Ah-Ah-Ahhhh!
Doesn't any one else remember
the spooky show on Saturday night that aired during the early or mid-60's?
I think it was Dr. Kilgore, or something like that. I remember being
a young teen, being home alone and watching "House on Haunted
Hill" with Vincent Price. Scared to death!!! And then Kilgore
would pop up on the corner and say something or laugh. He had a body
hanging in the corner, but all you could see was his legs hanging.
They even sent out post cards announcing upcoming movies...Mothra,
etc. with the creature's picture on the card.
This is great. I am tuning
in and like that they kept the same intro video clips and B-rate movies.
I remember as a kid the original Dr. and met him once. He was always
involved with kids all over Omaha communities. Good luck to Dr. Jr.!
Welcome Back Doctor!
It was always something fun
to watch on Saturday nights. I loved the Doctors laugh! I didn't know
he passed away so YOUNG. Sad. Welcome Son of Dr. I will be watching
!
Very Cool to have the Show
back... I vividly remember Dr San Guinary calming me down at a local
haunted house when I was just a little 5 year old, standing outside
one scared to death... He was a wonderful person, and to have some
of that old charm back is great...
I worked at KMTV in the early
80s. It was fun working on the show and I miss John Jones. Willard
is the perfect producer to bring the show back. Good Luck!!!!11111
Great to see it back! Cheesey
or not it was good entertainment when I was a kid
I watched Horror Hotel a few
weeks back on Creature Feature. what a riot! I loved it. Nice going
KMTV.
I rememberthe good/evil Doctor
very well. He was a very giving man and volunteered his free time
for the Ralston Volunteer Fire Dept. My dad sold him his house in
Ralston. He spent countless hours performing at parades, hospitals,
socials and etc...Glad to see the show is back and RIP MR. Jones!
Can't wait to see the
show again. As a kid, I just loved it! Scared me to death especially
the ZOMBIE'S!
I can remember the first time
I was allowed to stay up 'til midnight watching Frankenstein on Creature
Feature with my dad. I can hardly wait till my kid is old enough to
stay up and watch some classic black & white horror film on Creature
Feature or if I dare hope for the famed Creature DOUBLE Feature!
I grew up watching Creature
Feature. I hope they show "Day of the Triffids". That one
scared the bejeezers out of me and I don't think I've seen it since
I was 13 years old.
The old show varied between
bad and good movies, showing many more bad ones than good ones. Some
of the original Doc's best material involved making fun of the really
bad movies during the breaks. But it was also enjoyable when a classic
was shown as well. TV listings indicate that no classics have been
shown yet, so I hope KMTV remembers to throw a good one in there every
once-and-awhile, so that the youngsters being targeted can appreciate
a classic and know the difference. Either way, it is a great idea
to bring it back.
I too can remember the days
of watching Creature Feture with my dad (who was a friend of Johns.
As soon as I heard "San Guinary" I got giddy. This should
be fun. Thank you KMTV.
That's great, KMTV! You wait
until after I've moved from Omaha to Minneapolis, THEN you bring back
"Creature Feature". Thanks a lot! However, it's good to
hear one of my childhood Saturday night addicions has come back. I
have to make sure to check it out the next time I come home.
There are some great awful
horror films ie, "Plan Nine From Outer Space",quite possibly
the worst film ever made.I would also bring back the "The Tingler"
with Vincent Price and my all time favorite "The Head That Would'nt
Die"
That's great to know that
KMTV has bought a tradition back to life. Being only 28 I vaguely
remember the Saturday Night Creature Feature, but I defintely remember
the Dr. San Guinary "fish bowl" come telethon time. I'll
have to check it out when i'm home over Turkey Day.
The Son Of San Guinary website
is located at http://sonof.drsanguinary.com and has updated schedules,
video and photos! The original Dr. San Guinary WebLab is also avaiable
at http://www.drsanguinary.com which also features a lot of memorabilia
about the original show. There is a place on bot websites where you
can send e-mail to KMTV to let them know how you feel about the new
show.
I must say that it is about
time someone brought back this Omaha tradition. My childhood would
never have been the same without CREATURE FEATURE , and it is good
to see someone put on a show that i can share with my kids and not
worry that they will be too frightened or scared to watch it. I also
saw the Dr. Sanguinary website today and that really brought back
the memories. Again, thank you, KMTV.
