Night Gallery

Would they have had access to an original mould?

I was thinking maybe it was a modified Don Post Creature?

I'm a Night Gallery fan too. In fact, I've been watching my NG collection in between Horror Films. It's also interesting to see some of the sets from the Universal Horror Films. For instance - the staircase in "You can come up now Mrs. Millikan is the same one that Claude Rains and Lon Jr. have the  "Stop it! Stop it!" and "You can't run away" exchange in the Wolf Man 1941. Awesome series. Jeannette Nolan scared me in "Since Aunt Ada Came To Stay."

Not to mention that classic horror era Universal stars, Gale Sondergard and Martin Kosleck appear in an episode or two..

Yes indeed. Elsa Lanchester in Green Fingers. Julie Addams in The Miracle at Camafeo. I watched some of my favorite episodes today like:

The Messiah on Mott Street/The Pained Mirror.
The Phantom Farmhouse/Silent Snow, Secret Snow. Orson Welles narration is fantastic. His narration in King of Kings 1961 is some of the finest put on film.
Cool Air/Camera Obscura.

The Waiting Room/Last Rites For A Dead Druid is one of my all-time favorite episodes.

The Waiting Room/Last Rites For A Dead Druid is one of my all-time favorite episodes.

I really like The Waiting Room. The cast is awesome! I have to tell you that I really love the performances Albert Salmi gave with The Twilight Zone episodes he did, and also in The Waiting Room. It's great how he tells Steve Forrest off. I wish he would have been in that episode a little longer. Albert Salmi lived up here in the State of Washington. He died (apparently suicide) in Spokane, WA.

Salmi was a great character actor in his time. It was a tragedy about his death; murdered his wife then took his own life. I agree about the cast of The Waiting Room..a lot of old time Western character actors and each turning in a brief, but memorable, appearance.

Very fond of this serious, there was a rather remorseful sadness about many TV horrors of that era, the '70s. You also find that in TV movies like the Devil's Daughter, Night Stalker and Black Noon.
I have a real thing for the Death on a Barge episode, I think Lesley Warren was one of the best female vampires ever. I really however don't like the way MeTV handles it by running it so late, and the way Universal packaged it. It's probably the worst reedited program running on MeTV.

Welles' opening narration in "The Magnificent Ambersons" IS the finest opening narration put on film, as long as we're mentioning him.

Silent Snow Secret Snow is a great episode. And a terrific short story too.

Worth remembering that Welles was Serling's original choice to narrate TWILIGHT ZONE, but his asking price was too high.

And of course, Orson WAS one of the best narrators in Classic Era Radio, along with a few select others like Jack Beck and Fred Foy. If any folks like his film work, but haven't sampled his radio stuff, they're missing a bet!

>But it wasn't too high that the makers of the Transformers cartoon feature could?<

1. Feature budgets generally beat TV budgets.

2. Series work involves a commitment to many more hours than Single-Feature work.

I know this takes us even further off topic... but I so wish there existed outtakes from Orson Welles' narration from the "Transformers" movie. One could only imagine him saying "What the hell is a Megatron??"

Here is a video of the infamous "fozen peas" meltdown Orson had while trying to record a commercial for Jolly Green Giant:
