These are the real deal. This audio was the actual sound effects tracks used on Creature Feature for years.

This audio file was produced from the audio carts i received from Charlie Cioffero. True story: Charlie found these audio carts laying in a trash can after someone cleared out the audio tape from the vaults. He snagged them up, transferred the sound to a cassette tape, and then donated them to the Weblab.

Doc’s famous laugh

The movie is about to begin …

Igors famous roar.

The Time Machine that Doc made creates a lot of noise.

Mid-summer is Spook-a-rama time in Omaha! This commercial ran in 1976-77.

As part of the Dr. San Guinary Film Festival, Doc introduced a prize in 1979-80; plastic sunglasses with LEDs in the lenses, known as “zany zappers”.

In this series of bumpers, Doc is trying to sell off his house.

(Sorry for the quality of this recording, it was done on a mono hand held tape recorder. Subsequent recordings were done on better equipment.)

Doc talks about the first Dr. San Guinary Film Festival. Doc gets into a fight with Igor (who wants his entry ran first) and is “strung up” in a load of old film. Doc explains the rules one more time.

(Sorry for the quality of this recording, it was done on a mono hand held tape recorder. Subsequent recordings were done on better equipment. The giggling you hear in the background is mine.)

KMTV has just moved, so Doc & Igor are busy building their new lab. In this series of bumpers, Doc works out the details of building the lab with Igor.

Still without a set, Doc steals a news van.

After dispatching a kid who was vandalizing his house, Doc is confronted by the kid’s father.

(The video of these bumpers still exist, and will be featured in the upcoming Dr. San Guinary DVD.)

Suffering from a bad hangover, Doc tries cope while Igor attempts to help him.

Doc meets the infamous witch Baba Yaga, who has a huge crush on the ol’ Doc. Listen closely to these bumpers and see if you can find the dirty joke KMTV censors didn’t catch.

Taking the advice of t.v. “consultants”, Doc prepares to become a food critic.

(The video of these bumpers do exist, and will be part of the Dr. San Guinary DVD due out in 2011)

In these bumpers, Doc has to explain that in order to enter the film festival, the entries have to be motion pictures and not a drawing. Meanwhile, the crew heckles Doc by whistling the theme to “Miss Jean’s Storytime”.

The film festival marches on with actual movies…

This series of bumpers were a favorite of mine, and perhaps a preview of the 80’s preoccupation with political correctness.

Doc talks about a phone call KMTV received that complained about the “violence” in one of the festival entries. It was obvious that Doc was asked to apologize…and he did, but not without making a stand of his own.

I was very impressed. But i have to wonder if this event helped John Jones to decide to retire in 1981.

The film festival continues. Vic Lucas stops by the lab to talk about various MDA events that are coming up.

This series of bumpers features various people talking with Doc about MDA benefit events.

An odd impromptu recording. During the KMTV evening news, “Crazy” Dr. Dave (the station’s weatherman at the time) was doing his weather report with Igor.

When i saw Igor’s hand on the screen, i raced to the guest room, grabbed my tape recorder, and recorded this bit. It was a surprise to me, because this happened after John retired the Dr. San Guinary character.
