I feel privileged to have grown up in this era. This brought back some great memories, *thanks for uploading this!!*
If you want to relive more memories you should get the documentary.
@@windupfilms I just might do that! Where can I find it?
@@MrMicklethal go to the monster mansion memories Facebook page and follow the ordering Instructions on the cover page.
@@windupfilms Will do, thanks!
I and siblings looked forward to MMM every saturday at 12:30, watched in on
channel 18 in elmira....picked it up on an antenna.....no cable back then for us...
MMM was supreme indeed!
LOL. We didn't have a UHF set so we had to point the antenna toward Syracuse and try to get a grainy Channel 3.
I grew up in E. Athens, PA. and I watched MMM every Saturday, but I thought it didn't come on until 1:00 pm.
It was Channel 18. Then after my father got cable it was Channel 2.
@@scottdavidson526 I watched it too. It did come on at 1:00 in the valley. Shelley Covey Perry.
@@danielperry7309 Good memories, man.
Wow...., that nostalgic feeling! I miss shows like this!
Used to love watching this on the weekends as a kid, growing up in Upstate Northern NY.
OMG Talk about a Childhood Flashback, I grew up on This. Saturday Afternoon at 1 PM, some Great Memories. THANKS!!!
I was correct about the time that MMM came on. Someone who grew up in Elmira commented that it came on at 12:30 and I corrected him.
absolutely remember this. The music was legendary to get one in anticipation!
as a kid I loved this every Saturday, thanks for the memories!
RIP Alan Milair. I watched this show every Saturday and Loved It! What memories!
The transformation of Bill Everett (as we remember him best as Salty Sam) fooled me -The voice was the "dead" giveaway!
That's right, he played Salty Sam as well. As a young kid, I didn't realize this until my older brother pointed it out to me.
I absolutely LOVED this show! As soon as the clip started, I suddenly remembered all the visuals, all the music....it just came flooding back like I'd seen it just yesterday. What deliciously scary memories. Thanks for posting this.
HAAAAA. .still gives me chills . thank you so much.
Wow...take me back 38 plus years ago on a Sat.snowing outside and we would huddle around to see the opening sequence.The haunted dollhouse set was amazing with the detail,wonder who has it now? I remember Epal did a cartoon show on the NBC station as well growing up.They changed the opening when Dr. Witty made Epal a new hand and incorporated it in the opening.Very creative for its time for local television with a limited budget. Thank You.
Oh Man its been so long since I've seen that. When I was a kid every Saturday i was there watching it.Playing outdoors with my friends had to take a back seat till after the show. So many memories,i have quiet a collection of a lot of those movies i used to watch.And now that i got to see the opening again,I feel the need for a all out Black and White Horror-a-thon. Thanks for the Memories. Very great full
It sounds like you need to relive those memories. You should buy the documentary. It has 50 minutes of show footage that has not been seen since it aired in the 60's and 70's.
We used to pick this up on antenna in NJ back in the day because we had a rotary antenna that could be oriented to any direction, and we used to also watch Creature Features (WNEW 5) Chiller Theater (WPIX 11) and Fright Night (WOR 9) just to name a few of the NY channel frights. And of course we got the UHF thrillers as well! All BEFORE cable!
Live near the Syracuse area and the memories this brings back are incredible. Actually my close friend and neighbor’s mother dated Dr E Nick Witty for a while.
Growing up as a young child I used to love watching this show on Saturday. 👍😉
The greatest! Thanks for posting!
This started my life long love of horror. I was 4 years old. I would watch the opening with black olives on my fingers. And eat a whole can during the movie. Awesome childhood memories.
😀
And later that night ... _C H I L L E R_ ... good times 😄
Grew up with this. Just listened to this after not hearing it for so many years! Wow!
This is awesome!!!! Watching this is like a trip in Baron Daemon's time machine. I grew up watching this show. It is a shinning example of the creativity that existed when TV stations did local broadcasting. Monster Movie Matinee is admired by current horror hosts nationwide.
Omg I never missed this every weekend when I was a kid.
This is enjoyable,thank you!!!! It is amazing that so many states had their own monster shows!!!! Ours was the Creature Feature show with Bob Wilkins and later, John Stanley in the late 60's through the early 80's ,when John took over for Bob.
Thanks for sharing this nostalgia-bomb!
What's a Saturday afternoon with Monster Movie Matinee on Channel 3 in Syracuse! I remember watching this it was pretty scary but A groovy memory!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. We are doing a documentary on Monster Movie Matinee. In it we have several clips that survived over the years. They are very rare and have not been seen since they aired on the show. Check out our facebook page, monster mansion memories for more treats.
Kind Host.
Saturday's , at one o'clock in the afternoon on WSYR CH 3 Syracuse , after a full morning of cartoons and spaghettio's for lunch . Those were the days , who who ha ha .
I watched this in the Finger Lakes region every Saturday.
Wow, what a flash back! Thank you for posting it.
So many regions had these shows! We missed ours in NYC, we were from all over the country (and elsewhere) so we had The Monster Movie Club at Club 57. It was every Tuesday night and not to be missed. I love the little sets on this! So dinky! So fun! Thank you. Greetings from France.
Oh wow ... talk about memories !! I used to watch that all the time ... creeped me out !! ... loved it :)
On cold winter afternoons I would never miss it. Wonderful to see that intro again.
snowed in watertown .. im a bloody buddy too!
Does this bring back some memories! Every Saturday at 1:00 on "WSYR, TV 3, Syracuse". Great times...
Great memories from upstate central NY. WSYR channel 3, every Sat. afternoon @ 1:00. From the late 1960s till about the mid-1970s. The best in monster/horror movies. the guy who played Dr. Enik Witty used to do the voiceover for the D'Jimas Jewerly store commercial And his asst., Epal, used to host a kids show, Salty Sam. His last name was Lape, Epal spelled backwards. Thanks to whoever posted this video.
You are welcome, if you want to relive more MMM memories you should get the documentary.
epal was also salty sam on salty sam
Yup...lol
As a kid in the 70's I remember watching something like this on TV (Saturday or Sunday afternoons) in Syracuse except the terrain was more purple/pink and the show was called EVON. It basically showed old black and white horror/sci-fi b-movies from the 1950's & 60's.
Anyone else out there remember it?
Or did I just hallucinate it after eating too much microwave pizza?
Jerry McDonnell EIVOM movie spelled backwards
Those of you who remember this might also remember Suburban Park?
I was too young for Suburban Park, I went when it was Country Club.
Great memories of channel 3 NBC
Dear "Mrhalloweenmovie", so nice of you to mention that Dick Jacobs and his music, because he also did the music that became known on WNEW 5's Creature Features as well, as I remember getting that in New Jersey as a very young boy thanks to living on high elevation and the rotary antenna we had.
This leads me to my ultimate question-do you have any original Creature Features videos from that time? CF was cancelled in 1980 and was hosted by "The Creep" who was in real life Lou Steele.
My father worked for the station that produced this.
As a child, I watched it all the time, than my father took me to the set, and I was so disappointed! Lol
I thought I was gonna see an actual haunted house! 😂😂🤣🤣
But Allen Malar was the vampire, awesome guy,
Anyone remember Channel 5's answer to this show - EIVOM ? I've been looking for a clip from EIVOM, but no luck.
Was it EIVOM? I'm thinking it was called EVON. It had a similar opening but with a longer shot leading up to a house on the hill.
THANK YOU! Do you know anything about another Syracuse show, "EVOM" that played Sunday afternoons? I saw a few fantastic horror movies on that show, including "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things", that messed me up pretty good for being eight years old.
Yes I used to watch that on Sundays too! My two little sisters wouldn't tho cuz they were too scared! Always loved the intro to chants of EEII-VOMMMM!!
@@usmcvet8940 Who in the hell would know anything about that show in Syracuse? Was it on WCNY?
@@mowriter nope CBS
@@usmcvet8940 I mean, the local Syracuse station I thought was WCNY. whether it was a CBS affiliate I don't know.
@@mowriter yes that was the CBS affiliate here in Syracuse Horror host show. Can't remember if they were channel 8 at the time or if they had switched to channel 5 by then.
Right?! Saturday afternoons right after Bill Cosby and the Cosby Kids! LOL
We were watching a movie on this show, an Exorcist knock off called "Beyond The Door", when our TV caught on fire!!!
My overly religious aunt, who was staying with us at the time, FREAKED!!! Yelling it was God's way of punishing us for watching the film.
Does anyone have a list (or remember) the movies shown on MMM? I would like to try to research some of those old movies shown on this program
WAS THIS THEME SONG FROM 'THIS ISLAND EARTH' ?
Yup!
Indeed it was!
It needed E. Nick Witty's laugh.
Just Awesome Stuff... Alot better then the CRAP on these days.
I remember this show and all the black and white horror movies they had. Many fond childhood memories.
When I was really little, old enough to know what's going on, but young enough to still believe it was real; my mother would say, hurry up and get ready, the monster movie is on... I would run to my room, rush to get my "cowboy " hat, and cap gun. I would stand guard in front of the tv in the living room ready to shoot any monsters that broke through the tv. My cap gun wouldn't work against any Monsters if I didn't have my cowboy hat on. I would duck behind the cover of living room furniture so I could get the right shot at any on screen Monsters.
Things were a lot more fun for kids back then.
I grew up in Parish, NY Oswego County about 20 miles from Syracuse proper.
Will you have more to show of MMM?
The rest is in the documentary Monster Mansion Memories.
