Sorry to hear of the passing of news anchor John Drury-another good guy who, it seems, we’d watched on TV since we were kids. A sad way to start the holiday season…
Moving on to some of your feedback- it seems that we still hear from viewers who enjoy the Universal movies, but still miss the “less-than-classic” stuff, that we had to load with “Svensurround!” Certainly, we’ve tried to throw some of that in- like, our summertime late-night Me-TV run of several of those films. I’m sure there will be more instances like that along the way, but, for now, our contract with Universal makes it very important that we air the old classics. The viewer reactions and ratings certainly bear that out!
I also need to ask those of you who have ordered your Sven shirts to please be patient! Our promotion department is working very hard to fulfill your orders.
Remember that it takes a few weeks- which is why I need to remind you- if you’re going to order shirts as a Christmas gift- PLEASE order early! There’s truly nothing we can do when we get an order a week before the big day, expecting delivery before the holiday. So, order early if you want to surprise someone with a Sven shirt under the tree!
While “Franken-Fall” will soon give way to frankincense (that may be the weakest holiday transition ever!) there’s still some Frankenstein scares coming your way- this weekend, Ygor is back- in the film that, chronologically, falls right after “Son of Frankenstein!” More on that later this week- just keep in mind that we will have some special encore performances of Frankenstein favorites (including “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein”) to take us through the holiday season and into 2008.
Finally, our helpful viewer Dan, always a fountain of cool information, brought up some of the information we’ve passed on in the show and the blog about “Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man”(which, chronologically, falls AFTER “Ghost of…”)- along with other info, including the fact that there are scenes where Bela’s Monster’s lips move, but his dialogue was erased, after the decision that the Monster SHOULDN’T talk in the film. He also wondered what became of Maleva, the gypsy woman in the film’s finale? In real life, Dan reveals she met a grisly end- fell asleep with a lit cigarette and – well, you get the idea.
Finally- the young woman killed by the werewolf was Martha Vickers- who, as Dan put it, suffered her own curse later- as one of the eight wives of –Mickey Rooney! Now THAT’S scary…
