Creature Feature commercial - WPTY TV 24 Memphis, 1988

TV ad for WPTY TV 24 out of Memphis, TN, from December 1988. Creature Feature would air every Saturday at 10:30pm, showing mostly older and sometimes new-ish horror films. I watched it all the time at my grandmother’s house. Warm memories.

Thanks for the upload! I hate that it cut off. This was a major part of my childhood and where I saw a lot of horror movies For first time

Man, this intro always scared the crap out of me when it came on growing up, especially when it caught me off guard when they show the commercial for it at random times during day or night, being from Jackson TN I'm all too familiar with this and the other intros that WPTY 24 uses for movies on Saturdays and Sundays, thank you for uploading this memory from my childhood, makes me think of my grandparents(god rest their souls) because usually on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons and evenings over my grandparents house, the living room tv would be on WPTY24 Memphis.

Do you ha e anymore of these. I grew up in the 80s, and I watched this every Saturday night. I think in the mid 80s this came on at 10:30. I would like to find the intros before the movie starts.

When did it switch over to 1:30? I remember watching early 90s it didn't start till after midnight. Would love to see list of movies that aired!

What happened to the claymation type intro where there's a sign of letters that falls ontop of what looks like a miniature cave man ❓️🤔
