LOL–I enjoyed hearing the movie ads! I’m not really into “B-movies”, but it was really funny to hear them.

Maybe you could help me track down one. It’s from the early ’70s, and I only remember the first 2 words: “M-G-M PRESENTS…” (said in just about that tone of voice, lol!) It always startled me when it came on the radio–so much so that I never did hear the rest of it–or if I did, I don’t remember. (Then again, MGM itself is pretty scary, with that lion and all. *j/k*)

I think it may have been “Night of the Lepus”, which I’ve heard is a real honey-bunny of a bad movie. :D :D :D I watched the trailer for “Night of the Lepus” on YouTube, and it had that same kind of BOOMING, ECHO-Y ANNOUNCER VOICE THAT’S SUPPOSED TO SOUND REALLY SCARY. :) I think that might be it. The time frame is about right too (’72).

So if you have the RADIO ad for “Night of the Lepus”–or can direct me to it on some website–could you please give me the info? I’m not so much interested in actually seeing the movie; I just want to see if this is the radio ad I remember. Thanks in advance!

This is so cool. I had a brush with a HUGE collection of 7-inch vinyl and reel-to-reel radio promos in 1981 when I was involved with an #$%@-up effort to re-open a theatre in Raleigh, North Carolina as a rock showcase. Upstairs, along with boxes of posters, were these promos. I couldn’t get the owner’s agent to let me leave with any of it. Sadly, THE AMBASSADOR was torn down soon after for a parking lot. I guess they threw that “crap” out.

Glad to see ya got these!
