Thread: Twin Cities, MN 1970's Horror Incorporated question???

Tweet

When I was a kid I wrote down the beginning words that opened the show while a hand crept out of a coffin...which ended with chilling laughter.

Does anybody have the words to the opening of this show? I'm not talking about the more recent one that was on a few years back on channel 45. I'm talking early to mid 70s.

Thanks

Sorry I could not help more than that.

Thanks, that helped find it.

1969? - 1979?

Horror Incorporated probably started in 1969. The first incarnation didn't have a host, but it featured the great voice-over talent of Mr. Jim Wise, who worked at KSTP radio. The person exiting the coffin at the beginning and returning to the grave at the end, was my late friend Warner Smithers, who was then a floor director. Other crew members included Forrest Stanford, who ran the fog machine.

The narrator would then read the following words:

"Lurking among the corpses are the body-snatchers, plotting their next venture into the graveyard....the blood in your veins will run cold, your spine will tingle when you join us for an excursion through Horror Incorporated!"

This open and close ran for many a Saturday night in the early '70s.

I too watched this program as a kid too in the early 1970s back in Minneapolis, MN
