Hey everyone! This video is about an obscure H.R. Pufnstuf topic , Pufnstuf had a presence at the Universal Studios Hollywood California theme park in the early - mid 70's including a full H.R. Pufnstuf exhibit!
Sadly this isn't well documented at all. All I could find were 3 photos.
If you want to view the photos yourself here's a Internet Archive page I made about it! archive.org/de...

Cheers for sharing this info, I find it interesting how Universal Studios had a H.R. Pufnstuf set tour. It reminds me of some hidden gems the Kroffts worked on like Tales of the Okefenokee at Six Flags over Georgia.

Yeah! just sucks alot of these events dont have much footage or documentation in general , especially events like this and the Tournament of Roses parade i covered before where they used the Screen Used Pufnstuf costumes.

I thought the first 3 Six Flags parks Six Flags Over Texas, Six Flags Over Georgia, and Six Flags St. Louis where the only ones that had the H.R. Puff N Stuff characters.

@@STTechin I think it was because Universal distributed the "Pufnstuf" movie.

@@disneyfan8178 Yeah , I believe the TV show was also filmed at Universal. So that's prob how they had access to both Movie and TV Show costumes.

Hey, in this interview with Billie Hayes from 1969 she talks briefly about the exhibit, saying the Witchiepoo dummy even scared her. I thought it was on the studio lot originally but now your video has brought in some much needed context. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNuelqllttzPn3U.htmlsi=JDt0M7LdWm77rp1Y

OMG for some reason KZfaq held this Comment under review so I didn't see it for a while , my apologies. I'm glad my video helped provide more context regarding the exhibit!
