I watched this show when I was a kid. This was my first exposure to the Universal Horror movies of the 1930's and '40's.

Always enjoy seeing Camfield get his due. KFJZ and Channel 11 were in Fort Worth, however,... NOT Dallas. Here in Fort Worth/ Dallas (i.e. the "Metroplex"), referring to anything in Fort Worth as being "in Dallas" is fightin' words, indeed!
