Oh, man. What I wouldn’t do to go back in time and relive those Saturday afternoons watching Creature Double Feature on Channel 56 in Boston while driving my mother crazy.

Wish there was still local produced shows like this and Jabberwocky, Bozo, Captain Bob, etc. Such fun times!

The music is Toccata by Emerson, Lake and Palmer…. The narrator sounds like Gary LaPierre from WBZ. Anybody know?

I used to watch the other CDF what was on WKBS Channel 48 in the mid 70′s. It had a hand rising from the ground and groping for a gravestone, while lightning flashed in the background.

Also, the narrator would speak amid the screams of some woman in the background as the hand would scrape away the dust on the headstone to reveal the CDF logo.

Some good times, and to quote greg6363 “what I wouldn’t do to go back in time and relive those Saturday afternoons!”

Thanks. He’s retired now but I still hear him everyday talking about protecting his mother’s assets when she went to live in a nursing home. I’m pretty sure it’s him.

@BeefBurgers I think you might be right about the name being LaPine. (Someone else who knew these spots said the same name!) If I’m correct, he did alot of local ad spots in the Boston area at that time!

@tecnohunk One of the heads was from ‘Night of the Blood Beast’! Think the other came from a Hammer film??? They showed the two heads for Creature DOUBLE feature… And One head for Creature Feature; which ran late-night and showed only one film.

It certainly was Chiller Theatre And I know the part in Idle Hands you’re talking about..when the kid’s watching TV and the hand is on every channel. That suprised the hell out of me too, I was like “whoa, CHILLER”! lol
