From the pages of Famous Monsters of Filmland #1. Does anyone recognize these stations from their childhood?

WCAU-TV was a mainstay in the Tri-State area (PA, NJ and DE), but I never saw this show. Roland, then Dr. Shock were two great Horror Hosts I enjoyed growing up in this area each week. Sounds like an interesting show!

WPTA Channel 21 from Fort Wayne, IN was one of the 3 (three!) channels we could get, when I was a kid. It's still the ABC affiliate in Ft. Wayne, today. Home of horror host "Asmodeus" in the late '60s / early '70s.

KTLA channel 5, in the 70s it would be home to Seymour (Larry Vincent) and Monster Rally.

WTTV Channel 4 out of Indianapolis had Sammy Terry's Nightmare Theater, which first aired in '62.

WROC...... Rochester, N.Y.  I remember watching many Monster movies when I was little.

This particular ad was long before my time, but WRGB ch 6 from Schnectady NY is still going strong today. In the early 80s WRGB had their own version of Chiller Theater with a different opening than the famous 6 fingered hand that WPIX 11 used in NYC. They mainly showed AIP movies-I remember seeing Pit and the Pendulum,Black Sabbath,Reptilicus,Goliath and the Vampires, Frankenstein Conquers the World, Attack of the Mushroom People, Die Monster Die, the Thing With 2 Heads and Blacula.
Crazy am I? We'll see if I'm crazy or not!

Nifty.  This ad is also before my time, but Peoria, Illinois still has WMBD.  At this time, late '50s to early '60s, they would have been running Milton Budd's Nightmare Theater.  My dad told me about watching him.

Until I moved to the east coast, I lived in Southern Claifornia, and KTLA (Chanel 5) was one of those independent stations I grew up with.  Gene Autry owned it for awhile, and Seymour aired on that station, when he wasn't on KHJ (Now KCAL).
What ever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
