Evening Magazine promo - WBZ-TV4 Boston 1990
The last major promotional spot for Evening Magazine at WBZ-TV which I co-produced in 1990.

And if you look very fast near the end... my Mom! Sadly, just weeks after this promo premiered, the long-running "Evening" was cancelled.

Astuter Computer Revue 1982

Apparently, the ONLY known video (fan-shot) of this long extinct attraction at Epcot. I shot this video on early home equipment during the opening days of Epcot in October of 1982. Sony hadn't even released the first camcorder yet, so this was primitive equipment and didn't yield the quality we expect today. But if you saw this kitschy show, this will bring back a lot of fond memories. It's bee...

Spooky World - National Press Reel from 1994
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.11 лет назад
A montage of some of the national TV coverage I obtained when I was the VP/GM of Spooky World - America's Horror Theme Park! We turned a simple haunted hayride into the premier "haunted theme park" in America. We opened a second one in Minnesota and had a third under construction in Dallas... when the lure of television called me back. #spooktacular

    The offices for the World Key Information Service were right above the computers behind the glass. There was a double-door to the left which we passed through and then there was another set of doors that led to the computer room, and an elevator on the left that took us upstairs to World Key. Another I.T. (Information Services) department was also there called "Scientific Systems."

    Spooky world was cool, went there decades ago and met Tiny Tim and a guy who played Jason from Friday the 13th, who was much shorter than I would have guessed. As mentioned Tiny Tim was a gentleman, such a nice guy. My mom was a big fan of his and got an autographed picture for her. Thanks for this video, brings back memories!

    For the record, Spooky World was a bit of a hike from Boston. It was out in the country, in the woods, which could be downright creepy on a foggy night in October. I just wish it was still in business because it was a really great place to go during the Halloween season.

    This song by the Sherman Brothers was originally in the 1964 New York World's Fair. Here Walt Disney is singing it with the Sherman Brothers. It's called "There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" and is the them song of the Carousel of Progress. With Brandon in office, they need to update the Carousel of Progress to be the "6uild 6ack 6etter Destiny of Doom" ruclips.net/video/Y0lebcX6Fm0/видео.html The song should be renamed for Biden.. as the "Ass Tooter Revue"

    I saw Tiny at SpookyWorld several times. He also played a couple concerts in the Boston area in the mid 90’s,. The last time I saw him was just months before he died. Tiny was dedicated to his craft and whatever you thought of him you were completely blown away upon seeing him in person. I was too young to see him in his prime but getting to see him and speak to him one on one was an experience I will always cherish!! Thanks for the entertainment and most definitely Thanks for the memories!! R.I.P. Tiny Tim

    In '91, my college professor took our tv prod class to see Adam West and Butch Patrick at WBZ Boston, an NBC affiliate. Tom Bergeron had a talk show at the time. Al Lewis was brought in by telephone over the studio speakers. It was a very funny half hour. Really learned a lot about what it was like on the Batman and Munsters sets. Adam West signed autographs outside the studio, very gracious. I never saw Butch Patrick after the show. I assume his car got there before we got outside. Would have been cool to get his autograph. I wish this footage was available.
