Time to Spend Another Pre-Halloween with Elvira
Elvira and the weekend just before Halloween are becoming a Game Show Network tradition.
The night of Oct. 25, the veteran horror movie hostess will preside over GSN's Freakiest Freak Fest from 9-11 p.m. and 11 p.m.-1 a.m (both EDT with the second two hours a back-to-back repeat).
Halloween-themed episodes of Weakest Link, Whammy! and Russian Roulette will populate the two-hour block.
This marks the third consecutive year Elvira helms the spookfest of games.
Because Oct. 25 is the evening of the changeover back to standard time, the second 1-2 a.m. block (EST) features a special Garry Moore era To Tell the Truth with Bill Hanna of Hanna-Barbera fame one of the central characters and a rare edition of He Said, She Said! (the Tattletales prototype) with Joe Garagiola welcoming Dick Clark, Bert Convy, Hal Holbrook and former musical comedy actress E.J. Peaker and their then-spouses.

Maybe there's hope yet for GSN programming vault classics. TTTT/HSSS, even as filler in a DST time-shift, shows that they are willing to go into the vault. They coulda just programmed a repeat of the last hour of the 'thon, like they did in 2000-2002.
Kudos to GSN.

HOLY HECK! He Said She Said?!?! Moore TTTT?!?! I'm purchasing a tape right now!
-
There may be hope after all.....
Good work GSN!
-
Cool stuff! Thanks for posting it!
Tim :-)

I will have a tape running!!!
-
He Said She Said? Oh my God i'm surprised they'd put that on at all!! Way to go GSN!!!

Didn't they show two Halloween episodes of IGAS last year and Who Dares Wins the year before that?
-
Whoops, forgot that.
Who Dares Wins in 2001 was just the last hour of that night's WDW Halloween marathon repeated.

Checking back in the Google Groups archives, that marathon was on a Sunday.

You Sure 'bout that?
(1 minute later)
Well I'll be damned. He's right. But, WDW marathon, WDW in the extra slots, easy mistake.
It's been a long night.

And this is probably a darn good sign for Feast, so let's not give up hope yet on it(and yes, I was the one yest. who said he wouldn't waste his tape, I changed my mind with this bit of news)

We've seen that before on GSN, I remember the faked up \"tv monitors\".
Is this a new episode, or the one we've seen before?

I don't think it matters for a lot of us if it's been shown before. A lot less of us had GSN last time that it was shown [I know I didn't]

FWIW, I have seen an episode of HSSS on GSN, but it did not feature Dick Clark OR Bert Convy.
-
At one time, several years ago, GSN ran a block of several HSSS on a Saturday evening, some of them had Nanette Fabray and Sally Field and others, and one episode with Orson Bean, Uncle Bill, Heywood Hale Broun and Robert Lansing.

GSN has run several episodes of He Said She Said, including at least one (and quite possibly only one) with the lineup of stars they've announced for October 25th. If you're new to the channel, then as NBC used to say, \"It's new to you!\" But it's probably not a truly \"new\" episode, that's probably a bit too much trouble and expense to go to for a 2am afterthought.

Well, I'll be glad to see HSSS (even though I thought it was kinda dull). I've only seen that one episode on black-and-white kinescope.

When you see He Said She Said, you'll see Joe G. talking to the secluded celebrities on the phone. Be glad WOF didn't incorporate telephones into the format of the actual series(one of the pilots had contestants talking to each other on phones)

As was reported here, the phone was used to relay the category to the lucky contestant who landed on \"Your Own Clue\" on \"Shopper's Bazaar.\" If you're basing this on Chuck interviews, even Chuck says \"we had people talking on telephones.\"

Yeah, Gromit's right. They didn't have the technology (or the budget) to use actual TV monitors, so what they did was they used a panel which had a blue light in it and it created a chromakey effect that could be turned on and off at the individual celebrity desks (as opposed to a painted panel which was always \"on\"). A clever innovation by Ted Cooper.
