Your Past Life

Learn right here and right now... and ask yourself "do I believe that it can be possible?" Kinna spooky, ain't it?

SPOOK-A-RAMA wants you to know...


No mummies, juvenile delinquints, or flying wombats were harmed in the making of this production. Neither were any emus or llamas of any sort mistreated. Nor was abuse of ferrits (pink or otherwise) of any kind whatsoever tolerated.

Any relationship of the spooks represented in our show to actual spooks -- whether they be living or the living-dead -- is strictly coincidental.

Creature Feature Bubblegum Cards

From the Spook-a-Rama vault - Creature Feature/You'll Die Laughing bubblegum cards (yes, "bubblegum" cards).

The orginal series was produced in the early 1970's. These were re-isssued in the '80s. Aaaaah, no wonder all my allowance money was blown every day after school at the nearest Popcorn Popper candy shop. I can still taste that pink stick of gum yet...

Horrors! A Host


Dr. San Guinary's Weblab
Son of San Guinary's Weblab

Remember as a kid when you stayed up late Saturday nights? REALLY late?? As late as 10:30pm just to watch your favorite TV horror host???

DR. SAN GUINARY
Host of "Creature Feature", "Creature Double Feature" 1971-1981


The good docter dominated late night television in Omaha throughout the 1970's. Trademarks of the show included "Igor's" hairy hand ever grabbing at anyone unlucky enough to too close to his cage and the Dr's signature gravely laugh, "dah-ahhhhhh!" Despite "Creature Feature" and Dr. San Guinary''s phenominal popularity, the show was forced off-the-air when the premier of "Saturday Night Live" took over his timeslot. Late night viewing has never been the same since.



SON OF SAN GUINARY
Host of "Creature Feature", 2001-2003


It wasn't until the fall television season of 2001 that we learned that "Creature Feature's" beloved host had a son, who would bring back the saturday night series back to the airwaves. The lab was back, Igor was back, grainy old black-and-white films of the '50s-'60s were back... life was good!
