This post is dedicated to my Canadian Friends and those who, like me, grew up on or close to the border with Canada. I remember tuning to the Canadian Channels in the 1970's while I lived near the border in New Hampshire. On Saturday morning it was a ritual for me to watch "The House of Frightenstein". I loved anything Vincent Price and still do.
The Hilarious House of Frightenstein was created in 1971 at the studios of CHCH Channel 11 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For the next 25 years it aired across Canada and in parts of the United States. During its run, the show touched and influenced many people. It might have been the strange characters and writing, or maybe it was the early morning hour in which the show often ran. Whatever the reason, Frightenstein got into people’s minds and it stuck there.
This is memorable audio from 1970's Canadian TV and strikes a definite chord with me around Halloween.

Oh my goodness. I remember this show as well. I'm glad you have the audio version of some of these shows.
A nice walk down memory lane.
