A friend of mine was in New Orleans before it was to start airing and brought back a newspaper TV schedule insert that had Morgus on the cover. GARY L. PRANGE "Sic gorgiamus allos subjectos nunc."

SAT from what I remember the movies were local and Morgus segments were cut in. Morgus never refered to it by title it was always "the movie"

Feb 18 10 6:48 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I've been going through my old TV Guides as of late, trying to get things ready for a new topic, and ran across this. The pages are from TV Guide, week of November 21-27, 1959. While this issue covered central Indiana, the Morgus article appeared nationwide. Here's the cover for anyone who may want to keep an eye out for it: Hope y'all enjoy.

Feb 28 10 4:19 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I was in New Orleans from July 2004 through November of 2009 before relocating to Germany. Morgus was and is a hoot. Did I tape any of his shows? Nope, just not thinking. I thank God every day that I'm an atheist

Mar 2 10 4:16 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think Morgus would be perfect. he would also cost alot less then Elvira! when WPIX had Morgus Presents on in the 80's the movies were mostly Godzilla films. I don't think PIX would use a G film this time.
