THE MAD DOCTOR OF MARKET STREET AT THE KIVA THEATRE AD

This ad for the Halloween midnight showing of The Mad Doctor of Market Street was found in an old scrap book from the KIVA Theatre in Slater, Missouri. According to this newspaper ad, the KIVA had a Halloween Party contest on the stage. There's not much info on the KIVA Theatre, but it would be great to see photos from this night.

Two movie posters found at Heritage Auctions. The second one is an Australian Daybill poster.

DON'T TRESPASS ON FREAK FARM: WATCH THE TRAILER INSTEAD

Has anyone ever seen the movie Freak Farm? The chances of anyone saying they saw it would be very slim since the film was poorly distributed. Most people have never heard of this obscure horror movie from 1979 and the unlucky few that did catch it back in the day probably wished they had spent their three bucks on a different flick. Actually, it sounds like no one will ever get to see the complete film as it's been rumored to be lost. Apparently when Ozark International Pictures went bankrupt in 1981, a mysterious fire destroyed their film library and every print of Freak Farm was destroyed.

Here at Weird Hollow we’re happy to share a few artifacts from this film starting with the original movie poster, (pictured above). Unfortunately, there’s just not much info out there, but we did find this March 23, 1979 Boxoffice Magazine clipping with a small blurb about Freak Farm. According to the executive producer, the film had problems from the get-go. Click the image for a closer look -


The main item to surface and the only known surviving piece of film is the trailer. It was found stuck under the projector at the Astro Drive-In. Here’s the trailer for the lost film, Freak Farm -



Now that you’ve watched the trailer go visit the Neato Coolville blog for more information on Freak Farm, the film no one has ever seen.

DIABOLICAL DR. OLDSMOBILE

Meet Dr. Oldsmobile. He hasn’t been seen since the early 1970's when he was bringing life to his automobile creations in his mad lab for the now extinct Oldsmobile line of cars. His claim to fame was the W-Machines, those 4-4-2 monster muscle cars. A cast of misfit monsters known as Elephant Engine Ernie, Shifty Sidney, Wind Tunnel Waldo and Hy Spy helped the good doc create these powerful four wheeled monsters.

Below is an advertising folder that features Dr. Oldsmobile and his monsters.





Close-ups of two of his monster assistants.




There's not much out there on Dr. Oldsmobile. Click here to see some 1969 magazine ads. At the bottom of those ads it says you could send off for a set of four posters and a booklet. Those would be nice to see. Here's some ads from 1970 - here, here, here and here. Also the GM Photo Store is selling some Dr. Oldsmobile 8 X 10 photo prints here, here and here.

SOUVENIR POSTCARD FROM CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE

Can you believe with 12 Friday the 13th movies there was never one with fuzzy mascot characters? Yeah, I can’t believe it either. Jason went into space, he fought Freddy and even visited New York, but he never had the chance to terrorize a theme park.


Since movie fans have been deprived of this Friday the 13th movie, I decided to make up a fake movie prop postcard (using this original postcard) from the Jason movie you will never see, Friday the 13th Part XIII Camp Crystal Lake Family Fun Park.


In this bloody chapter, Jason comes back from the dead a few years after the last time he died to find that Camp Crystal Lake has been transformed into a theme park and he’s just in time for the grand opening!

I can see this prop postcard used in some background scenes, maybe on a postcard spinner rack in a gift shop or better yet impaled onto a poor helpless victim.

Be sure to click on the postcard to view it large. You'll be able to play Where's Jason if you do!

VINCENT PRICE PROMOTES DR. PHIBES RIDES AGAIN ON THE DATING GAME

This Halloween episode of the Dating Game aired in 1972 and features Vincent Price. Vincent was promoting his new movie Dr. Phibes Rises Again and just as he did in the movie, he spoke for the young female contestant known only as Ms. X.



Bachelor #3's mystery date was actress Janit Baldwin who was promoting her first movie Prime Cut. She is now an accomplished fashion designer creating designer handbags.

The Dating Game gave away the best date in the history of the show - the young couple had the chance to attend the members only Halloween party at the The World Famous Hollywood Magic Castle. Lucky kids!

At the very end of this video clip is a nicely illustrated Haunted House card. If you blink you'll miss it, so here's a frame grab.
