Can anyone help me here? There was a little horror show called Boo!, a Local TV Show in the 70s. It was only aired in the Rio Grande Valley on select stations, such as KGBT which is a station in Harlingen. Not much is known of this show, but I do know of the intro. The intro consisted of a forest ,a lady in a black coat is seen running. Then it cuts to a hand crawling out of the ground.. and that's all there is currently. If anyone knows what this is.. please let me know.

Yeah, this is a hard one. The 1970s was a long ass time ago. Not to mention the fact that VCRs weren't super common yet. Your best bet would probably be contacting the station that originally broadcast the show, if that's even possible. With it being so long ago I bet anybody who was involved has retired by now. Don't let my pessimism stop you though.

I am a little bit of a slight piece of a miniature teeny-tiny fraction of a half-sized hob-goblin.

Hi lostmedia778991 ! This is certainly a tough one. I'm not sure if you're a contributor to it, but I found this Facebook thread for the CineSol festival discussing Boo!. There are lots of people in this thread also looking for the show, particularly that intro - and someone found the song used for the opening, Elton John - Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding. There are a few other threads scattered on various forums remembering the show as well.

There are two relevant IMDB listings, and I'm guessing it's the first: Boo! Theatre with Terry V. Johnson as Dr. Boo, and Boo Theatre with Harold Gunn as Count Harold. If it's the former, the creator Terry V. Johnson passed way in the late 2000s.

Let me know which of the listings is accurate, and I'll do some more digging 👀

The year this was made was in the 80s while the actual show is from the early 70s.

I'll look into this. Was the intro at day or night?
