Sacred Silly, Searle Style

In the first decades of TV Guide, the covers were almost always artful, so it's no surprise that they turned to artists to create covers as often as they turned to photographers. As the magazine continued it's slow but sure decline in 1990, its publishers at least had the ease and calls to sign up British author and former TV Guide contributor Ronald Searle to draw up this haunted house in the classic style for this October 27, 1990 Halloween edition—and it's part of Countdown to Halloween 2019 here at Tulgey Wood. This TV Guide comes courtesy of the Facebook page, The TV Time Machine. If you are on Facebook, tune in this fun-fest of classic TV of all kinds.
