DR. SAN GUINARY WEBLAB - THE ONLINE HOME OF OMAHA'S CULT HORROR HOST AND "CREATURE FEATURE"

As you can imagine, videotape of Dr. San Guinary and episodes of CREATURE FEATURE are very hard to come by. Having been produced from 1971-1981, and the revolution of the affordable vcr for home use happening around 1982-83, you can see how these events/moments just narrowly missed each other.

So, when you fdo find a tape feature Dr. San Guinary, it is enevitably from those few folks who could afford those old dinasaur vcr's and just happen to remember or find by accident that they captured a few moments of Dr. San Guinary on tape. Around Omaha, amongst fans of my age those moments are priceless.

Featured below are some of the clips that are currently circulating around Omaha fans.

Thanks go to Jason Jones, the son of John Jones, for providing me with nearly an hour's worth of outtakes, bloopers and "bumpers" you will see below. They are the files in the Real Media format. In order to view them , you will need to download Real Player G2

NOTE: Most CREATURE FEATURE video seems to come from people directly associated with KMTV. Local fans of the show seem to only have video from many of the Doctor's other appearances outside of CREATURE FEATURE. I have no explaination for this other than the problem of home vcr's not being readily available during CREATURE FEATURE'S hey day.

Early Dr. San Guinary
Though not labeled as such, I suspect that this is possibly one of the earliest surviving bumpers for CREATURE FEATURE. It's definately the earliest I have seen turn up. Jones is doing the "creepy ghoul" thing for San Guinary still, not having developed the funny persona we would all enjoy for years to come.

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (outtake)
Funny blooper with the Doctor in front of his "time machine". Definately too adult for CREATURE FEATURE...

San Guinary Gets Busted
Nifty bumper that features a nice shot of the lab and a guest appearance by the actor who played the sheriff in those famous C.W. McCall/"Old Home Bread" commercials from the seventies.

San Guinary meets Frank the Gangster
Doc explains to Frank the Gangster (who I can't remember the actor's name at this time) what a Spook-a-rama kit is all about.

M.D. Telethon Commercial Outtake
In this rare out take, we get to see San Guinary and KMTV news anchor Jeff Jordan shooting a commercial for the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon with Jerry Lewis himself. San's humor makes this take unusable...

M.D. Telethon Commercail 2
In this commercial we see the doctor promoting both the telethon and an early Spook-a-Rama kit while Jerry Lewis looks completely uncomfortable. This is an early commercial done around the time that Jones was still doing the doctor as a kind of "scary" ghoul character. It's odd.

Creature Feature Update with Mayor Gene Leahy
Here's one of the many appearances of Omaha Ex-Mayor Gene Leahy on CREATURE FEATURE.

San Guinary v.s Mayor Gene Leahy
It's a battle of egos (and a continuation of the previous bumper) as San & Gene prove to each other who is the real power behind CREATURE FEATURE.

San/Mayor Wrap up
Final bumper for the show, Gene and San make up.

San Guinary's Spirit
Spiffy little bumper features the doctor's spirit talking about the evening's movie.

San Guinary & The KMTV Weather Lady
This blooper features one of the official Dr. San Guinary t-shirts as being sported by KMTV weather anchor Carol Scott, of whom I had a HUGE crush on when I was young (Carol still lives in Omaha and manufacturers a line of high-performance thermal long underwear on the internet which can be seen at www.cdsportswear.com).

San Guinary for Mayor
In this funny bumper, actor James Drury ("The Virginian") promotes Dr. San Guinary as the next interim Mayor. Funny stuff...

"Dedicated staff"- Farewell to Crewmember
Unfortunately this is kind of disjoined, but it is a farewell to a member of the KMTV staff (specifically the CREATURE FEATURE staff).

San & Casey the Dodge Girl
This bumper aired during "Earth v.s. The Spider" and features the doctor with slicked back hair trying to pick up local celebrity Casey the Dodge Girl at a 50's sock hop.

San @ the Sock Hop
Continuation of the previous bumper, San strikes out with Casey (apparently).

San Guinary @ the Truck Stop
Featuring "Mavis" from the classic 70's C.W. McCall/"Old Home Bread" commercials.

"Super Green!" (part 1)
San Guinary as a super hero. My oh my.

"Super Green!" (part 2)
Continuatuion of the above bumper.

Car Dealer Commercial Parodies (part 1)
Living in Omaha, Ne in the early seventies meant you heard A LOT of car dealer commercials. This is the doctor's take on it all.

Car Dealer Commercial Parodies (part 2)
Continuation of the above bumper.

The Gameshow
During the movie "The Tingler" Dr. San Guinary hosts a decidedly un-p.c. game show. Dig that guy's groovy threads at the opening!

THE SHERLOCK HOLMES THEATER
In the early 80's, John hosted a Saturday afternoon show which ran the famous sleuth's movies. Oddly, most of the video footage that is available to Dr. San Guinary fans are usually from this show. These clips are in the Quicktime format.

Doc talks about film(1.4M) .: In this clip, Doc displays his decidedly non-p.c. opinion about the Sherlock Holmes film he is running.
Doc Meets Boom-Boom(1.8M): An example of a rather...um, adult situation that popped up rather frequently on CREATURE FEATURE and here on the SHERLOCK HOLMES THEATER (and would never happen on similar shows today). Dig this crazy blond's t-shirt.
Interviewing Another Assistant(689k): In this brief clip, The Doctor is interviewing Ms. Mavis Marvel for the position of "assistant detective". Quick quip that I rather enjoyed.
