In the 1990s, Something Weird Video gifted humankind with HEY FOLKS! IT'S INTERMISSION TIME—a series of six magical VHS compilations that preserved vintage movie and drive-in ads
Wild, whacky, nostalgic intermission shorts from drive-in theatre double-bills, from the 50s, 60s and 70s! Back in the day, between the features audiences were shown short films to keep them occupied. Scores of shorts about treats at the snack bar, and lots of weird commercials!
There was a time when movie theaters were somewhere to spend the afternoon or a whole night. With the ads on this volume, theater owners lured us in with Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Mother's and Father’s Day promotions. There are also more locally produced ads and concession stand come-ons.
This time around its a Spook-0-Rama Spectacular from the Golden Age of the Drive-In and Movie Theaters dedicated to King of Come-ons, DONN DAVISON! Thrill to chilling coming attractions and promotions for: House of Exorcism (with a scary lead in by the master himself!) Spook Show attractions with Frankenstein, The Beatles, Monsters, Ghosts’ promo for IT, I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF, INVASION OF THE SAUCERMEN, THE SPIDER, WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST, Squeal to Mad Daddy’s Shock Theater; Kara-Kum of Hollywood and Lady Godiva! Count down the minutes to showtime! See an amazing assortment of celebrity endorsements featuring Elizabeth Montgomery for US Savings bonds, Julie Andrews for the Motion Picture Association, John Wayne for Will Rogers Memorial Hospital, Eddie Fisher for the National Education Association, Tyrone Power for the American Red Cross; the Roy Rogers Riders Club, Cary Grant and Gary Cooper for Christmas Seals,
A mixed bag of wonderful intermissions, shorts, spook shows, teasers, local ads, public service announcements, and holiday promotions from the patriotic 1940s through the psychedelic 1970s! Some intermissions are the World War II sing-a-longs and war bond promotions - true American artifacts!
Two hours of sheer joy! Thirsty? We’ve got ads for Toddy Chocolate Flavored Drink and more! Hungry? You’ll be hypnotized by our selection of burgers, hot dogs, pizza, popcorn, candy and ice cream that anxiously await you at the concession stand!
Even more snack bar and concession stand intermissions mixed with clock countdowns, local ads and coming attraction cards from the 1950s, 60s & 70s just the way you like them! We’re serving up B-B-Q beef, delicious pizza, popcorn, sno-cones - the works!
In the 1990s, Something Weird Video gifted humankind with HEY FOLKS! IT'S INTERMISSION TIME—a series of six magical VHS compilations that preserved vintage movie and drive-in ads. HEY FOLKS! IT'S THE INTERMISSION TIME MIXTAPE! (an exclusive feature-length mixtape from the AGFA team) is a loving tribute to those cathode-tube-fueled days.
