Check it out. Bill Warren G. Harding Class of '63

12-24-2010 ( Reply#: 6361 )	mcgyver	The original Sven was Jerry G. Bishop, a local DJ on AM station WCFL, who got into UHF television with his own show and also Sven either Friday or Saturday nights... there were two other latenight Monster Movie shows in Chicago back then... "Creature Features" and... dang it, can't remember what the other one was! Can anyone help jog my memory there? Mcgyver Hammond Tech Class of '71
