Communism cures #CurseOfTheWerewolf

From the svengoolie flick:





 "The Curse of the Werewolf" who actually looks more like a monkey:




than a werewolf:




I learned becoming a communist cures werewolfism:



Priest: My son, a werewolf is a body with a soul and a spirit that are constantly at war. The spirit is that of a wolf, and whatever weakens its human soul, vice, greed, hatred, solitude, especially during the cycle of the full moon when the forces of evil are at their strongest, these bring the spirit of the wolf to the fore and in turn, whatever weakens the spirit of the beast, warmth, fellowship, love, raise the human soul.
Ergo, rugged individualists are more inclined to become blood thirsty werewolves....I'm skeptical....

Homages to #SanfordAndSon

People on twitter made a spoof of the intro to Sanford and Son:




and turned it into Soros and Son instead:




I pointed out that I agreed w/Tracy Morgan/Jordan on "30 Rock" that Sanford and Son = greatest sitcom theme song in history:



and horror film host svengoolie made a passing reference to a standard Fred Sanford trope "having the big one":


in his Mexican Hat Dance summary song of "The Shadow of the Cat" @1:37:

Purry Mason on #svengoolie

MeTV svengoolie aired "The Shadow of the Cat". The plot, from imdb:
"The plot focuses on the common Gothic horror theme of a family and an inheritance. The family here is the Venable family, and the story starts properly when a rich old woman is murdered by her relatives because they're after her inheritance. The only witness to the crime was the lady's pet cat, and while normally anyone committing murder in this way would get away with it scot-free, this particular cat takes exception to the murder of its owner and sets about exacting its own revenge."

 which sounds like a typical Perry Mason episode, which explains svengoolie's "Purry Mason" spoof:


I thought Purry Mason looked like a road kill version of Mr. Roger's Henrietta Pussy Cat:




Conversely, other people thought Purry Mason looked like Bill from "Bloom County" cartoon:


or, wacka, wacka, something the cat dragged in!:

"Jury Foreman: 'We find the defendant innocent. We also find that Purry Mason looks like something the cat dragged in!' "

Finally, Purry Mason also bears a striking resemblance to the non house trained missing "cat":

Background Music in #PerryMason "The Case of the Fraudulent Photo"

At first I thought the music in restaurant scene only described as " [ slow classical music plays ]" in online script of "The Case of the Fraudulent Photo" episode of "Perry Mason"


sounded like the US Civil War ballad "Weeping Sad and Lonely"
   




However, after more searching, it sounds more like  Enya "Marble Halls":



The song "Marble Halls" also made a cameo in a Svengoolie hosted film, "The Mad Ghoul"




and is also a favorite clip in PBS Classic Arts Showcase repertoire:




From wikipedia:


"I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls or "The Gipsy Girl's Dream" is a popular aria from The Bohemian Girl, an 1843 opera by Michael William Balfe, with lyrics by Alfred Bunn. It is sung in the opera by the character Arline, who is in love with Thaddeus, a Polish nobleman and political exile.[1] It has been performed and recorded by many artists including Enya.[2]"  
This choice of music is ironically appropriate for this episode b/c nasty characters embezzle money from hospital construction site and skimp on hospital structure safety to make up the difference. 

UPDATE:

imdb folks disagree:

"Yes, if you're referring to the string quartet playing in the background of the restaurant scene it is the composition called "Andante Cantible" and was written by Peter I. Tchaikovsky. It is an exquisite piece originally composed just for the stringed instruments in an orchestra. No brass, woodwinds, etc.

Through my YT channel dedicated to all genres of music, here is a recording of that song. It features the renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma"



This doesn't sound like the clip in the background of Perry Mason scene above to me, so perhaps they were referring to a different scene, or I have bad music recognition capability.

UPDATE 2:

This perhaps is the plot of a Perry Mason episode "The Case of the Prankish Professor"

"Professor Ronald Hewes teaches English at Euclid College and an exercise in observation, has someone he's hired burst into his creative class and shoot him with a gun loaded with blanks."

that illustrates how eyewitnesses, in this case earwitnesses, are unreliable and can describe the exact same event completely differently.

I feel vindicated, that the song played by the orchestra at the beginning of their repertoire is indeed  "Marble Halls"



However, imdb guy is also correct, the next song the orchestra plays is "Andante Cantible":



Now, I just have to figure out the song the orchestra plays at the end of the show:

Svengoolie patter on Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein

Svengoolie provides film trivia:



 & comedy bits between commercial breaks on classic horror films such as Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein such as spoofing a character name McDougal
