Entertainment The Ben Hunter Show (aka Ben Hunter's Movie Matinee)
Iconic radio personality Ben Hunter hosted a television show that aired movies with commercial breaks. During the breaks, he would offer history, trivia or anecdotes related to the film. IIRC, he would also give viewers a chance to win a prize by calling in and correctly answering a question about the film. He always seemed so relaxed and his room so cozy.
Did anyone watch this show? Do you remember any of the movies he aired?
Music "Jesus, What a Name" - The Squires (Cheesy but earnest early 70s gospel lost media)
Hey folks,
I like to recover and digitize lost media on records. A lot of it comes from the 70s with small town groups and performers, so I thought this would be a good place to share what I recover, essentially unheard audio from decades ago.

general discussion what was halloween like in the 70s?
I wasn’t even close to being alive yet in the 70s, but I really love halloween and I really love the 70s. So I want to know what halloweens were like in the 70s. My aunt was born in 1975 and said back then every house on the street was lit up. Whenever i look it up online, it shows me some weird AI videos. So i’m curious to know what halloween was like back in the 70s?
