MSTies will remember his work for the movie in episode 615- KITTEN WITH A WHIP. The L.A. Times has a nice perspective. Thanks to Tracy and Timmy for the heads up. 5 Replies to “RIP Wayne Fitzgerald”Commenting at Satellite News

Nice, interesting obit. He had an impressive career.
I don’t think I really appreciated good titles in films until I saw so many bad ones in MST3K and Rifftrax movies. It’s an art. RIP
He also did the titles for Rod Serling’s Night Gallery. A very talented man. RIP.
Reading the complete list of his title credits on IMDB is like a movie buff’s trip down memory lane.
Hey Sampo! According to IMDB, he also did the title for “Mitchell”.
